Get in
By bus
From Yogyakarta, take a TransJogja bus to the Jombor terminal. Then take a bus heading towards Magelang. Alight at the Blabak market in the town of Mungkid. Walk southward along the main road. Ask the locals for directions to the bus station, which is located only a few hundred metres south of the Blabak market on the opposite side of the main road. The "bus station" is actually a waiting place for angkots (minibuses). Take an angkot to Tlatar, a village 15km away (Rp 3,000). At Tlatar, take an ojek (motorcycle taxi) to Ketep Pass, a further 6km away.See
