Exploring Yogyakarta's Hidden Gem: The Quirky Charm of Bukit Rhema
#indonesiatrip #yogjakarta#church #bukitrhema #indonesia
During our visit to Bukit Rhema, also known as the Chicken Church, we were captivated by its unique structure resembling a giant chicken perched on a hill.
The panoramic views from the top were absolutely stunning, offering a sweeping view of the lush green forests and surrounding mountains. Inside, the peaceful prayer rooms added a serene contrast to the quirky exterior.
Climbing up to the crown of the chicken’s head gave us an even better view. The whole experience was both quirky and spiritual, and it’s definitely one of the most memorable stops on our Yogyakarta trip.

Exploring the Unique Charm of Gereja Ayam
#indonesiatrip
Visiting Gereja Ayam, also known as the Chicken Church, in Magelang is a fascinating journey into a quirky piece of Indonesian history. This uniquely shaped building, designed to resemble a dove but often seen as a chicken, stands as a testament to the visionary dream of Daniel Alamsjah. Nestled on Rhema Hill, the church offers panoramic views of the surrounding forest and nearby Borobudur. Inside, vibrant murals depict local mythology and history, adding to the site’s mystique. The church, originally intended as a multi-faith prayer house, now serves as a tourist attraction with a small café and souvenir shop. Climbing to the top of the bird’s head provides an unforgettable 360-degree view, making Gereja Ayam a must-visit for those seeking a blend of spirituality, art, and adventure

Unique place for a unique experience
Located some 1h20min by car from Yogyakarta, Bukit Rhema is a place built for a purpose of welcoming all religions to pray. You can climb atop the rooster’s crown to see nice views of the area. In good weather, you can even see Borobudur Temple which is just 15 mins driver away from the hill. You will need to pay for the jeep that will take you up the steep hill (or you can walk up for free). The entrance ticket to the church includes free tapioca at the cafe and it’s delicious! I would recommend for you to come in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat. #travel #BukitRhema #yogyakarta #indonesia
