Your Experience

Experience Yogyakarta's Dawn & Javanese Heritage

Begin your day at the break of dawn with pick-up from your hotel in Yogyakarta accompanied by an expert driver and guide. Head to the serene Setumbu Hill, known as the gods' favorite retreat among locals where you'll witness a mesmerizing sunrise framing the iconic Borobudur temple nestled within the lush valley. Following this ethereal spectacle, visit the world's largest Buddhist temple, Borobudur. This UNESCO site constructed in the 8th and 9th centuries, lost under volcanic ash until rediscovered in the 19th century, is a testament to the grandeur of ancient Javanese civilization.

Visit Indonesia's Largest Temple & Volcanic Wonder

Post the historic dive, embark on a jeep tour at Mount Merapi, Indonesia's most active volcano. Brimming with tales of Mbah Marijan, the volcano's spiritual guardian, the fire mountain never fails to ignite awe. The final stop is at the largest Hindu temple complex in Indonesia, Prambanan. Each stone in this complex narrates the tale of the Trimurti - Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, a cornerstone of Hindu mythology. Immersed in a legend of love and impossible feats, it is said to have been built overnight!
