Selo in Java, Indonesia, is a village on the saddle of ground between two volcanoes in Central Java, Mount Merbabu and Mount Merapi. It is regularly identified as Selo, Boyolali, due to its district name and immediate administrative centre having that name.{{Citation | title=MT MERAPI EMERGENCY STATUS RAISED FOLLOWING 95 VOLCANIC TREMORS | journal=ANT - LKBN ANTARA (Indonesia) | publication-date=2005-07-11 | publisher=Asia Pulse Pty Ltd | url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/82757552 | accessdate=20 October 2016 }}

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.{{cite web|url=http://www.summitpost.org/volcano-merapi-via-selo-route/787492|publisher=summitpost.org|title=VOLCANO MERAPI via Selo Route : Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering : SummitPost|accessdate=20 October 2016}}{{cite web|url=https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/ShowUserReviews-g294230-d1125234-r188323515-Merapi_Volcano-Yogyakarta_Java.html|publisher=tripadvisor.com.au|title=Selo route - Merapi Volcano, Yogyakarta Traveller Reviews - TripAdvisor|accessdate=20 October 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://www.jalansolo.com/wisata/cantiknya-kawasan-wisata-selo-di-boyolali-solo/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151112054330/http://www.jalansolo.com/wisata/cantiknya-kawasan-wisata-selo-di-boyolali-solo/|url-status=usurped|archive-date=November 12, 2015|publisher=jalansolo.com|title=Cantiknya Kawasan Wisata Selo di Boyolali, Solo - JalanSolo|accessdate=20 October 2016}}
