accomodation and transportation in Sulakarta

by bkarjee

The Solo (or Sulakarta) airport is not very far (just 10 KMS) from the City. At the airport, you will find a counter (Taksi Angkara counter) for Pre-paid taxi and they will charge you less than USD 10 for a ride to city. There are no meters in these taxis. There are a range of accomodatrion options in Solo, ranging from USD 15- USD 200. Hotel Shahid Raya Hotel Solo (+62271-644144,645889,fax +62271 644133.)is a good and reasonable hotel in the city. Rates are USD 15 per day. If you are willing to spend around USD 40-50, Novotel Hotel (Jalan Slamet Ryadi phone: +62271-724555,Fax +62271-724666)can be an excellant option.If you also plan to visit Kraton in Yogyakarta, I will say to visit the Krarton in Yogyakarta. The best way to visit Yogyakarta from centre of Solo is to take a train. Yogyakarta is 65 KMs from Solo and very good train options are available. There are numerous trains between...

Food in Central Java

by bkarjee

Food is not a problem anywhere, Western and Indonesian food are available in all the places and there is also plenty of selection of local soft drinks. I particularly liked the local tea drink called Sosro. It is a bottled drink and is commonly available everywhere. It is best served chilled. For a place like Central Java, which is so warm and humid all round the year, this drink provides the right impetus to freshen up.

Monsoon not a nice time to visit Central Java

by bkarjee

During monsoon season, (they call it wet season), it does not rain everyday. Once in a day, there will be torrential downpour and for rest of the day, it will be clear, unless you head to the mountains. But I will say, for getting the best views of the volcanic peaks, sunrise/sunset by the temples, monsoon is not the best time to visit. I did miss the beautiful sunrise/sunset vistas during my trip and hence thought it wise to advice to avoid central Java during wet season, which extends from mid Nov till mid Feb.
