Search flights from BDO to JOG
Priangan Highlands
Dramatic views of the rugged volcanic clusters including Papandayan and Galunggung.
Mount Slamet
A massive, looming stratovolcano that serves as the centerpiece of the Central Java segment.
Sumbing and Sindoro
The 'Twin Peaks' of Central Java provide a perfectly symmetrical and iconic silhouette.
Mount Merapi
One of the world's most active volcanoes, visible in great detail during the final descent into JOG.
Borobudur Vicinity
While small from altitude, the lush Kedu Plain surrounding the temple is visible before landing.
The right side is essential for 'volcano spotting.' Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of Merapi's plume during the approach. During the dry season (May to September), the air is clearest for long-distance mountain photography.

View the famous 'overturned boat' crater immediately after takeoff from Bandung.
Mount Ciremai
The highest peak in West Java dominates the northern horizon mid-flight.
Northern Rice Plains
Vibrant green agricultural patterns stretching toward the Java Sea coastline.
Cirebon Cityscape
The historic port city is visible as the plane traverses the border of West and Central Java.
Book a morning flight (06:00-09:00) to avoid the afternoon cloud buildup that often obscures the peaks. Keep your camera ready immediately after rotation to capture the Tangkuban Perahu crater.
