Destination Story & Highlights
Where Cacao Beans Tell Ancient Mountain Stories
An award-winning UNWTO-recognized eco-tourism village at the foot of an ancient volcano, offering hands-on traditional chocolate-making workshops, gamelan performances, and authentic Javanese village life experiences.
"Nglanggeran village sits at the base of Gunung Api Purba, a 60-million-year-old ancient volcano. The community earned international recognition from the UN World Tourism Organization for transforming their once-impoverished village into a thriving cultural tourism destination, proving that preserving tradition and modern development can coexist beautifully."
