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 visit, you will be driven to the Prambanan Temple. This ancient masterpiece requires a two-hour exploration in order to immerse yourself in its history. This fascinating temple dates back to the tenth century and stands as Indonesia’s most extensive temple complex dedicated to Lord Shiva. The three temples in the complex have been adorned with Ramayana reliefs, honouring the Hindu deities Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma. Additionally, you will also discover the three temples paying homage to their devoted animal companions.

After you are finished with the Prambanan tour, you will be dropped off hotel in Yogyakarta. And tour ends.
