Pogung Kidul

Few neighbourhoods in the Special Region of Yogyakarta have a history as closely tied to university life as Pogung Kidul. Set in Sleman Regency on the northern edge of the Yogyakarta urban area, it is a residential quarter shaped by student boarding houses, small eateries and the daily rhythm of nearby campuses. The district lies on the southern slopes of Mount Merapi, the active volcano that defines the wider geography of central Java, while Yogyakarta’s historic centre extends southward. Founded in 1949, nearby Gadjah Mada University is among Indonesia’s leading public universities and gives this area a youthful, outward-looking character.
