It is just west of Plawangan, the valley between the two has been subject to Nuee Ardente s in the 1990s which killed local villagers. Despite the very small area on the peak of Turgo, it has some sacred graves that are attributed to be connected with Jumadil Kobra, and a consequence is considered to be part of the complex network of graves that constitute the Javanese sacred places Dutch anthropologist Martin van Bruinessen has written about this character following his residence in Yogyakarta.[2]

It is also located within the Plawangan Turgo nature reserve [3], a 200 ha (490-acre) nature reserve on the slope of Merapi that has rare animals and plants occurring in its area.
