Highlights

Itinerary

1. Our carefully curated one-day tour kicks off with a visit to the iconic Borobudur Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Central Java, Indonesia. The Borobudur complex features an awe-inspiring array of intricately carved stone reliefs and a multitude of Buddha statues, set amidst a verdant landscape with volcanic mountains as a backdrop. There are two types of tickets available for tourists interested in exploring Borobudur. The first type provides access to the temple yard only, without the opportunity to ascend the temple monument itself. This is for those who want to appreciate the overall temple complex and soak in its grandeur from the ground level. The second ticket type, however, offers full access to the temple, including the privilege to climb the monument, allowing visitors to enjoy panoramic views from the top levels. The cost for the temple yard-only ticket is IDR 375K IDR (25 USD) while the full access ticket is priced at IDR 455k.

2. After your enriching experience at Borobudur, we'll journey on to the splendid Prambanan Temple, the second destination in our one-day tour. Prambanan is another UNESCO World Heritage site, situated a short distance away from Yogyakarta. This 9th-century Hindu temple compound, the largest in Indonesia, offers another extraordinary peek into the country's rich cultural and religious heritage. Visitors to Prambanan can enjoy a stroll around the expansive temple compound, appreciating the grandeur of the pointed, towering structures and the intricate stone carvings. Each stone relief in Prambanan tells a story, with the most famous being the epic tale of Ramayana. The temple complex is equally captivating at sunset when the golden rays cast an enchanting glow on the ancient stone structures. The entrance ticket to Prambanan Temple is IDR 375K IDR or approximately 25 USD, providing you with access to explore this historical marvel at your own pace.

• 5Excellent trip to Borobudur & Prambanan

  We booked a group tour but were pleasantly surprised to end up on a private tour with our guide Ekko. The company had put careful thought into reducing travel time by splitting the group up depending on hotel location. Ekko was an excellent guide who took great care of us. The car was clean and in good condition and Ekko had a good choice of music playing to keep us entertained when driving. He also told us about himself and information about Java’s history and culture. He was also interested in us, our country and cultural differences. The temples were beautiful sites and worth a visit. We also stopped for lunch in a lovely local restaurant suggested by Ekko. We had a wonderful day which was in no small part down to Ekko being fantastic.

• 5Temple tour

  Ridwan was my guide and he did a great job. He showed up at the hotel right on time and drove through the heavy and chaotic traffic of Yogyakarta like a pro. He answered any questions I had but also let me go on my own. The temples were really worth the price of getting there and walking around in the heat and humidity. It was a good tour.
