Nepal Van Java – The Tiered Village on an Active Volcano

Nepal Van Java was our most anticipated things do on Java island Indonesia. And to be honest, the small town of Dusun Butuh, or more commonly known as Nepal Van Java, totally exceeded or expectations.
Located in the highlands of Central Java, the settlement of Nepal Van Java is just there, holding on to the slopes of Mount Sumbing. A volcano that is surprisingly active.
That alone makes visiting this town in the mountains that more interesting.
Probably one of the most scenic neighborhoods on the island, Nepal Van Java is surrounded by terraces. Carved in the mountain slopes.
And those pixelated terraces are the main source of income for locals that produce various greens.
So expect some freshly made local meals prepared from just harvested cabbage, leeks, and lettuce.
And don’t forget about the high elevation. That means the climate is cool (or even cold sometimes) and such a high elevation also means epic views over the stunning highlands, mountains and volcanos in central Java.

In this guide, we will go through a few basic things that you should know before going to Nepal Van Java.
Whether you are going there by yourself or along with a tour, you’ll want to read this article so you know what to expect.

WHERE IS NEPAL VAN JAVA
The small village or rather a settlement is in the highlands of Central Java.
Nepal Van Java is located on the slopes of Mount Sumbing. But for a better perspective, the town is somewhere further North of Yogyakarta which is one of the main cities in Central Java.
Yogyakarta is also where many people and tourists will base themselves.
That is because Nepal Van Java is a manageable 90 minute to 2 hours ride from Yogyakarta [aka Jogja]. So it makes for a nice day trip with a journey that isn’t so time-consuming.

HOW TO GET TO NEPAL VAN JAVA
We were staying in Yogyakarta and decided that to get to Nepal Van Java we would rent a scooter and go there by ourselves.
Since we wanted to sleep there overnight and wanted to keep the cost low, renting a scooter was the best option.
