It is situated on the northern lower slopes of Merapi and the southern slope of Merbabu.^[2]

When Merapi is inactive between eruptions, Selo is often utilised for walkers to go up to the volcano crater as an alternative to the older and more difficult climbing routes from Kaliurang on the southern slopes.^[3][4][5]
