Bukit Pengilon

One of the hidden gems in Yogyakarta. Great for visit, especially with its own unique views of the beach of Gunung Kidul. However, access to visit here can be difficult. You either have to walk for around 20-30 minutes from the parking area to get there. Or pay 20k to get there with a motorcycle ride on the rocky roads.

The view is really nice, but unfortunately the acces to this place is terrible you can't take a car or event motorcycle to cross this way alone, but the local residents provide you taxibike service with cost about 20k IDR (one way), or the optional you can going to the hills by walk.. but if you brave and wanna take a risk go to this spot with motorcycle i'm recommend you using manual transmition rather than automatic :) (it's good optional than you destroy your own motorcycle).. and when entrace this area additional fee will be charge for 5k IDR (each person). You don't be regret if you already arrived ath this place. Many people come here to spend one night for camping the facillity is quite good, any simple public restroom, the small shop provide your daily needs, and even a guide during your activity. In this hills you will get beautifull sunset, so don't missing this place before twilight. If you going around here maybe you will find a good dog, his name Kapas.. but the information wall tell you don't touch this dog and please respect the rule.. bring back you trash and don't throw them around this area.. And please don't going to this place during the rainny weather because it will be dangerous for your journey. This place is suitable for people who looking for peacefull, and i hope the goverment open the eye and have a right plan to manage this area 😀

I dont even have words to write my experiences in here. Everything was amazing and incredibly beautiful. The most favorite part being in here was the sunset. I am so grateful to watch the sweetest sunset in Bukit Pengilon. Btw we walked from the first parking area to Bukit Pengilon was about more less 30-40minutes. There are another parking area which is maybe if you park there you wont walk that much or the same things. Depends on how fast you walk tho. Imo better not using motor bike to the Bukit Pengilon due to the way to get there was a bit extremely bad. There are to many potholes especially while rainy season its gonna be hard tho. Or you can take a jeep ride for better option and there is also a local gojek that can take you and wait for you in the Bukit Pengilon. So choose whatever you feel comfortable and suit with your style.

If you're looking for an antimainstream place to visit & enjoy the sea view from the hill, this is the place for you. I went picnic with my friend & brought some snacks n drinks. Just sat there and ate while enjoying the breathtaking nature from the peak. You can also camp there! When you reach the hill, usually you will find "Kapuk" (a local dog that usually guide tourists or take photo with them). There's also a small store selling indomie variants and drinks, it provides toilet and small mosque, too. Unfortunately, there's still a lot of levies (illegal retribution) by local people (especially if you're tracking from Siung Beach).

This place is definitely worth visiting if you happen to be in the Gunungkidul area. There are 2 ways you can choose to get to Bukit Pengilon: either via trekking from Siung Beach (longer walk), or by driving straight up to Pengilon Hill with your scooter or jeep, but the road is in very bad condition (can’t imagine if it’s raining). I’d recommend a >125cc engine for scooters, unless you’ll be having a pretty rough time. But it will all pay off with the amazing view and all-around amazing vibes. I set up a tent near a food-selling shack but end up sleeping outside under the beautiful moonlight, accompanied by the doggo family (I suppose it’s a dad, a mom, and the kiddo). They were all friendly and playful, but sometimes the dad can be pretty aggressive towards my male friends. Make sure to wake up early to catch the sunrise. Explore the hills and follow the trek to get closer to Banyu Tibo (a waterfall that is supposed to be drained once there is no rain) to see its splendor. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see some feeding sea turtles near the waterfall. There’s also a local man who guards the track from Siung Beach named Pak Senen. He’s friendly and chatty, and he also sells drinks in his shack. Please do say hi! Price for setting up a tent is 20k, and additional 2k per person. Definitely worth it!
