All in all it was a great experience and I highly recommend it! Tour was a fun experience in getting to see Mt Merapi and the aftermath of the 2010 eruption on the surrounding environs and villages.

Experience this 5.5-mile out-and-back trail near Boyolali, Central Java. Generally considered a challenging route. This is a very popular area for backpacking, camping, and hiking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring.

The entrance fee for domestic tourist on weekdays is Rp 6.000 (but it said Rp 5.000 on the ticket). However, the entrance fee for foreigner is Rp 150.000.

Most of the Merapi eruption has low explosivity and the awan panas usually reaches about 6 to 7 km from the summit. Some awan panas have traveled as far as 13 km from the summit, such as the deposit generated during the 1969 eruption. Velocity of pyroclastic flow can reach up to 110 km/hour.
