 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. Then you will have breakfast at Manohara Resort, nestled within the Borobudur grounds, offering scenic views and a tranquil atmosphere.

 Next visit, you will be taken to visit Kraton or called Sultan Palace. It is a grand complex that was meticulously planned to reflect the Javanese cosmos. This elegant complex of pavilions was constructed based on ancient beliefs, of the connection between the God, human and the natural realms. Each feature holds a special symbolic meaning related to the Javanese worldview, who considers the importance of Mount Merapi and The Indian Ocean. In Sultan Palace you will be explained the history of Kraton in detail by a local guide.

Afterwards, you will explore the exquisite Prambanan, Indonesia’s largest temple complex, dedicated to Shiva, where you will admire three temples adorned with intricate reliefs depicting the epic Ramayana and honoring the three Hindu divinities: Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma, along with their corresponding animal.

And once your inspiring tour is finished you may reflect upon the natural and spiritual beauty of Indonesia as you’re driven back to your hotel.
