Kalibiru Charm Natural Attractions In Jogja

For travel tours of Jogja this time, will explore one of the best tourist attractions in the area of ​​Kulonprogo Jogja, namely Kalibiru Jogja. Kalibiru is actually a name of a forest that is currently processed into a natural tourist spot. Kalibiru forest has an altitude of 450 masl and is a fertile hilly area. The air temperature in this place is very cool. Kalibiru is managed by the government and the local community as a nature and education tour. There are many things that can be found there, including outbound, lodging, and several spots to look for contemporary photos. There are also trekking paths that can also be used as camping locations.

Kalibiru tourism objects are in the Kulon Progo area, Yogyakarta, which has a concept of natural tourism. Kalibiru is popular recently because of mass media and social media. The exact location is in Hargowilis Village, Kokap District, Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta. The distance from the city center is around 40 kilometers.
Kalibiru is also close to other tourist attractions such as Sermo Reservoir, Nglinggo Tea Plantation, and Sidoharjo Waterfall. Even from Kalibiru, you will be able to see the charming scenery of Sermo Reservoir at close range. The journey to Kalibiru must be passed uphill and quite winding. We recommend using a strong vehicle so that the trip becomes smoother.

To reach Kalibiru, there are at least several alternative travel routes that can be chosen by tourists, including:

Sermo route
This first route is the largest route used by tourists. The reason is because on the way, there will also be a view of the Sermo reservoir, so the trip will be more enjoyable. If you are a person who enjoys traveling more than destination destinations, this route will suit you.
To go to Kalibiru with the Sermo route, you can pass the Sentolo area, then to Pengasih. From there, head towards the Wates-RSUD Wates-Beji-Sermo square. Only from Sermo, you can go to Kalibiru.

Clereng Route
The second route is the Clereng route. Traveling on this route is faster than the first route, because the incline or curve will not be as severe as the first route. If you don't like traveling too much and prefer a short trip, just take this route. From the city center, you can go to Sentolo, then to Pengasih.
However, after the Pengasih intersection, turn to the right (towards Clereng). Just follow the route to get to Kalibiru. On the way there is a guide, so there is no need to worry about getting lost.

City route (from Malioboro)
This route is the least used route, because there are rarely tourists from the direction of Malioboro heading to Kulon Progo. However, if you want to go to Kulon Progo from Malioboro, just take the Purworejo line. Follow the road to the Wates terminal. From the terminal, follow the guide to go to the Sermo reservoir. From Sermo, follow the route to Kalibiru.
