The locals call the stone as Batu Alien which they believe has been shaped naturally as a result of the earthquake. The rock resembles the face of an alien and this is what the major attraction is. The rocky garden will give you exotic view of Mt.Merapi. You can drive to the spot or take a jeep and the guide will show you some more picturesque spots which are equally good to take some shots. The scenery around the rock is worth the drive. Bring a good DSLR which captures the scenes.
