Wonders of Yogya

Borobudur temple tour - Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta lies in the central part of Java, just an hour’s drive away is the largest Buddhist monument in the world, Borobudur. You should plan at least 2 hours for your Borobudur tour so you can take your time to explore this immense temple complex at your own pace. The temple has been listed as UNESCO a world heritage site and is one of the main highlights of any visit to Yogyakarta.

In Yogyakarta, you'll find more ancient temples, palaces, batik workshops and gamelan orchestras. One of the most interesting sights of the city is the Kraton, the palace where the sultan and his family resides. The Kraton once covered the entire area of buildings and the maze of narrow streets within the inner walls. A becak (taxi-bike) is the best way to explore the little streets.

Another highlight of a stay in Yogyakarta is a visit to Prambanan the mystical Hindu temple complex where you can wander among the ancient buildings and lose yourself in the legends of the goddess Shiva. You can easily combine the Prambanan and Borobudur tour into one impressive day trip, for more information on this option; please contact our Indonesia travel specialists.
