 Tour Description:

Departing from Yogyakarta at 3:30 AM, you’ll travel in comfort to Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist temple and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Arriving before the gates open to the public, you’ll enjoy special access to this sacred monument while it’s still wrapped in silence and mist. As you climb the ancient steps to the upper levels, a sense of wonder takes over—especially when the first rays of sunlight spill over the horizon, illuminating the stupas in a golden glow.

As you reach the highest platform, prepare for an unforgettable view. Slowly, the eastern sky begins to glow orange, pink, and gold. The thin mist that shrouds the plains and hills surrounding the temple will begin to lift, revealing the silhouettes of hundreds of stupas, including the iconic main stupa. The moment the sun rises, illuminating the hollow stupas that house the Buddha statues, is a deeply peaceful and spiritual experience. You’ll feel connected to the history and spirituality etched in the ancient reliefs. After enjoying sunrise, have breakfast at Manohara Resort, nestled within the Borobudur grounds, offering scenic views and a tranquil atmosphere.

Next trip, you will be driven direct to Selogriyo Temple. It is one of the historical relics from the Hindu era in Central Java, and despite its relatively small size, this temple has significant historical and architectural value. The temple is an ancient site located in Windusari District, Magelang Regency, Central Java. It offers a unique and immersive tourist experience with its typical Hindu architecture and tranquil location on a hillside, Selogriyo Temple was built in the 8th to 9th centuries AD, during the period of the Ancient Mataram Kingdom, which was one of the largest Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms in Java at that time. This period is known as the heyday of temple architecture in Central Java, where many large and small temples were erected, including the more famous Prambanan Temple and Borobudur Temple.

When you are finished with Selogriyo Temple, you will be dropped off hotel in Yogyakarta. End of service.
