When you are in Magelang (Central Java), don't forget to enjoy the amazing panorama of Ketep Pass with your family. Ketep is one of destination site to escape from daily routine. Located in 1200m above sea level, you can see the greatness of both Mount Merapi and Mount Merbabu. Chill air will spoil you and of course, the view of the mountains will fascinate you. According to Wikipedia, it's 30km away from Magelang, far enough but it's worth your trip.
You are charged Rp 7.000,00 per person to enter this site. There is a mosque inside so you can pray in time. There are some motels to stay and there is "volcano theater" where you can watch the volcanic activity of Mount Merapi. But the fare is expensive enough, it costs Rp 30.000,00.
By the way, there is a beautiful site under Ketep Pass, called Kedung Kayang. Waterfall is the only attraction there. The fare is very cheap; Rp 3.000,00. There are 2 pathways to choose, whether you want to be above the waterfall or beneath the waterfall. But, Kedung Kayang is a little bit dangerous. Steed hills and big stream of the river is the danger. So, never say you've ever been in Magelang if you've never been in Ketep!
