Obelix Hills — Attraction in Prambanan

Obelix Hills is one of the most popular and photogenic spots in Yogyakarta, offering spectacular panoramic views from the top of a hill. It’s the perfect destination for relaxing, taking stunning photos, and enjoying the sunset in a modern, scenic environment.

Access & Shuttle Service: It's important to note that the road to Obelix Hills is narrow and steep, which makes it unsuitable for large vehicles like buses or big vans. Thankfully, the management provides a well-organized shuttle service from the lower parking area. The shuttle buses are clean, free, and operate on a regular schedule. Staff at the shuttle station are helpful and guide visitors clearly, making the experience smooth and stress-free.

Scenery & Photo Spots: Once you arrive at the main area, you'll be greeted with an incredible 180-degree view of the hills, forests, and the city of Yogyakarta from above. There are many creatively designed photo spots, such as the Sky Deck, The Edge, Love Box, and more. Each area is safe, well-maintained, and perfect for Instagram-worthy photos — especially during golden hour.

Facilities: Obelix Hills is equipped with modern and clean facilities. You'll find indoor and outdoor seating, a stylish café with a good variety of drinks and meals, clean toilets, a prayer room (mushola), and even a small playground for children. There are bean bags, hammocks, and lounge areas where visitors can just sit back and enjoy the view with a drink in hand.

Best Time to Visit: The best time to come is late afternoon so you can catch the sunset and stay into the evening when the city lights begin to sparkle below. The night atmosphere is magical — with warm lighting and cooler air, it’s incredibly romantic and peaceful.

Tickets & Pricing: The entrance fee is very affordable, and there are online and on-the-spot options. Food and beverages inside are reasonably priced for a tourist attraction, and there are also bundle packages available for families or groups.

Final Thoughts: Obelix Hills is the kind of place that blends natural beauty, modern comfort, and artistic design — a rare find in tourist destinations. Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, a partner, or even solo, this place offers a serene and memorable escape above the city. Bring your camera, wear something nice, and get ready to capture some of your best travel...

Visiting Obelix Hills was a lovely experience. If you're coming from Yogyakarta city, I recommend taking the route via Tebing Breksi and Candi Ijo. It's more convenient and scenic. You can set your map to Tebing Breksi first, then continue to Obelix Hills — it works really well.

One thing I really appreciated was the clean toilet facilities. It's rare to find such well-maintained restrooms at tourist spots, so this was a pleasant surprise.

The sendratari (traditional dance-drama) performance was also a highlight. It’s free and changes regularly, so each visit offers something new. A wonderful way to enjoy local culture.

Food is provided by Pulen Kopi Ponti. It’s simple, traditional Indonesian home-style cooking — nothing fancy, but comforting and familiar.

For those who enjoy nature, camping is also available! The package includes a tent, blanket, bed, dinner, BBQ, and breakfast — a complete and fun outdoor experience.

Parking is another plus — it’s very spacious and secure.

Overall, Obelix Hills offers a nice mix of nature, culture, and comfort. Thank you, Obelix Hills team — keep up...

Saya tidak akan review spot² nya, krn sudah bnyk yg review. Saya akan review dari sisi pengalaman selama dalam perjalanan, sampai di lokasi dan pulang.

Warning!!! Jika Anda menggunakan kendaraan pribadi, pastikan kondisi kendaraan dan rem berfungsi dengan baik, juga cukup ahli dalam membawa kendaraan. Karena mendekati lokasi, jalan yg dilewati menanjak cukup terjal (pergi), dan naik turun agak curam (pulang).

Sebagai perbandingan, jika Anda pernah ke Tebing Breksi, tanjakan ke Obelix Hill lebih "brutal", karena jalanan menanjak jarak tempuhnya lebih panjang dan banyak kelokan.

Jika Anda baru pertama kali ke Obelix Hill dan menggunakan google map sebagai panduan, harap berhati-hati. Karena selain jalan yg diarahkan cukup sempit, ada satu titik yg bisa membuat Anda bingung krn ada perbedaan petunjuk antara map dan papan arah.

Jadi setelah Anda belusukan cukup jauh mengikuti acuan map, sampai area tertentu, akan ada petunjuk jalan fisik dan masih sesuai dengan arahan map juga

TAPI... sampai 1 titik tertentu (pertigaan), google map akan mengarahkan Anda ke KIRI, sedangkan petunjuk arah fisik menuju ke KANAN. Sebaiknya Anda tetap mengikuti petunjuk fisik, yaitu ke KANAN. Krn menurut penduduk sekitar, jika Anda ke kiri, jalan yg dilewati lebih terjal

Dan asumsi saya, MUNGKIN jika Anda ke kiri, itu sebenarnya adalah arah jalan untuk yang pulang. Mungkin ada yg bisa sharing mengenai arah ini.

Catatan: algoritma google map sangat canggih, mungkin dengan seiring waktu dan seringnya kendaraan melewati jalur sesuai petunjuk fisik, mungkin suatu hari nanti google map pun akan memberikan arah yg sama dengan fisik.

Yg patut diacungi jempol adalah mereka yg mendesain jalur jalan yg akan dilewati pengunjung. Kenapa? Karena jalur datang dan pulang dibuat dengan arah yang berbeda. Sehingga pengunjung yang sedang menuju lokasi tidak akan berpapasan dengan pengunjung yg pulang dari lokasi, mengingat jalan yg sempit, terjal / curam dan berbelok-belok.

Selain itu, buat pengunjung yg pulang setelah kondisi gelap, tidak usah kuatir, karena walaupun daerah yang dilalui melewati pelosok², tapi ada lampu jalan yg terang (selama bagian maintenance tetap cek)

Info buat pengelola, petunjuk untuk arah keluar, tolong diperjelas / dibuat lebih informatif

Pembayaran tiket masuk terbagi 2. Di awal kedatangan, kita membayar tiket kendaraan saja, 5 rb (per mobil) *motor ga merhatiin brp. Coba liat review yg lain

Setelah parkir, kita berjalan kaki ke gerbang utama. Dari sini baru kita membeli tiket masuk per org. 25rb hr biasa, 30rb weekend / libur besar

Kalau Anda menanti sunset, sebaliknya bawa jaket, karena angin cukup kencang. Btw, jika kurang beruntung, Anda tidak dpt melihat sunset dgn sempurna, krn tertutup awan.

Banyak spot bagus utk diabadikan. Selain itu Anda pun bisa bersantai menikmati view yang indah, sambil menyantap makanan yg bisa Anda beli dari booth² makanan atau cafe dan mendengarkan live music

Setelah puas dan Anda berencana untuk pulang, Anda akan melewati toko yang menjual produk² dari Natasha dan jangan lupa makanan khasnya yaitu bakpia...
