|  The
concept of “tourist villages” (desa
wisata) came about several years ago when the
governments of several regencies realized there
was much more in the Jogja area to offer travelers
than the familiar Keraton, Borobudur, and Prambanan.
Villages were given the choice of participating
in the program or not, and those who accepted
in some areas were given assistance in developing
home stays and simple traditional meals, education
in basic hygiene, and promoting their natural
attractions. This is also an opportunity for tourist
revenues to extend to the local people, which
is welcomed by all. Overnight stays are available
at villages that offer home stays, usually in
rooms with private toilets added on to a family's
home.
While the term “tourist villages”
conjures up visions of Disneyland, rest assured
that they are all traditional hamlets where life
goes on – with or without visitors –
like it always has. Travelers wishing to experience
genuine Javanese hospitality and friendliness
in settings that have changed very little over
generations will be delighted. Activities range
from lessons in whatever skills the village folk
have to offer (even climbing coconut palms!) to
guided trekking for breathtaking views of mountains,
forests and plantations.
For information, directions and
reservations, call (or ask someone at your hotel
to call for you) the contacts listed below. In
planning your itinerary, it is helpful to know
that the villages in Sleman Regency are north
of Jogja; Bantul Regency is south; and Gunung
Kidul Regency is southeast. Day trips to either
Bantul or Gunung Kidul Regencies could include
a stop at the south coast beaches. |

villages" or the misleading term "agro
tourism" refers to visits or overnight

with several villages in salak (snake fruit)
growing areas and one coffee plantation.
