Ka Oghut is very lovely and supportive; she’s so funny 😆 I enjoy the tour and would like to invite family and friends to come and give it a try! The most relieving part is when we get to feel the river! It’s calming 💜 Ka Oghut is also very thoughtful and knowledgeable — she once talks about the history of Selokan Mataram, which is engaging. Will be glad to be back here soon!Posted on Emerentiana MDecember 27, 2025.Verified Memorable biking and cultural experience at Nanggulan We had a fun biking experience with Ogut! ☺️ She’s very resourceful, helpful and friendly. She helped take photos and videos for us too. She even knows the camera settings and she would record us while riding her bike! 🫶🏻 We stopped a few times to learn about history, rice field, bugs, etc. We also stopped by to learn how to make tempeh, together with the maker itself. We also stopped by the river to refresh our feet and of course more pictures. We also get to try local snacks and traditional drinks. Happy to see the nice and friendly people along the way. So grateful we did this trip. One of the most memorable experiences in Jogja. We paid 400k per person (local tourist). The snacks and string bags are provided by Moana. Overall it was a really nice 3+ hours biking tour. Best for friends and family. I recommend using the mountain bike as it’s more suitable for rocky path. We went on end of December and it wasn’t too crowded and thankfully it wasn’t raining (which is very rare).Posted on Erick ADecember 27, 2025.Verified Nicd exerience Perjalanan yang menyenangkan dengan bersepeda.
