| The Proboscis Monkey is a reddish-brown arboreal (tree-dwelling) Old World monkey that is endemic to the South-East Asian island of Kalimantan. It takes its name from the large protruding proboscis or nose, distinctive to the males of the species. The IUCN Red List currently lists it as an endangered species, due to ongoing habitat loss and poaching. Believe it or not, it is considered a delicacy in some cultures, and, it is often hunted for bezoar stones, an intestinal secretion used in traditional Chinese medicine. Like other monkeys, the Proboscis Monkey is a good climber, but it's also an excellent swimmer and can often be found swimming from one island to the next! |

Your guide on Yogyakarta has all the essential info. However, I was also looking for info on Dieng Plateau, which was not available. |

I went trough it and I can say, that it contains a lot of useful information for users. Many different things are explained, we learned from local people of Jogja.
[if I would go now, your guide help me a lot to know about things, that I learned from it]
About Kingdom palace, it's worth to pay for guide, because he told us different interesting information about imperator family and history of 10 kings. Just walk trough Kingdom palace is not too attractive, but when it is accompanied by interesting stories [then it's more exciting].
About beach I recommend to come at 3 or 3.30 and walk down the beach closer to small mountains, then approximately at 5 [when it's very close to Sunset] turn back and enjoy great sunset [it's 5.30].
For Airlines, I think that mostly international visitors arrive to Jogja from Jakarta or Denpasar. Garuda Indonesia provides with great service, but probably it's a bit more expensive. If no extra is required Mandala airlines is great opportunity.
We lived in Meliya Pourasani, great and lovely hotel [it's not so expensive, but service is outstanding] ! You can ask reception room on North side, then every morning it's possible to see volcano with fumes.
Bargaining, usually as foreign tourist you have to consider to bargain 50% of the price, that is offered by seller. |
