Your journey begins with a morning hotel pickup in Yogyakarta. Sit back and enjoy the scenic drive through the countryside as we head towards Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist temple and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Upon arrival, you’ll have time to explore the magnificent temple complex, admire its detailed stone reliefs, and climb to the top for stunning sunrise or morning views over the surrounding mountains and rice fields.
After your temple visit, get ready for the Borobudur Cycling Adventure. Led by a local guide, you will ride through peaceful village roads, lush rice fields, and traditional neighborhoods while learning about Javanese culture. Along the way, you will make several stops to visit local home industries:
Palm Sugar Home Industry – Discover how locals produce traditional palm sugar using age-old techniques and taste the freshly made product.
Pottery Home Industry – Watch local artisans shape and fire clay into beautiful pottery pieces and even try your hand at making one yourself.
Batik Home Industry – Learn the process of creating batik, Indonesia’s famous hand-drawn fabric art, and see how patterns are carefully made by skilled artisans.
This cycling tour is perfect for those who want to experience Borobudur beyond the temple, interact with local communities, and enjoy a fun and healthy activity while traveling.
Next, recharge with a delicious local lunch before continuing to the Elo River for your rafting adventure. After a safety briefing and gear fitting, you’ll begin your rafting journey. The Elo River is perfect for beginners and families, offering a mix of gentle rapids and calm stretches where you can relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. Professional rafting guides will ensure your safety and make the experience fun, with plenty of splashes along the way!
At the end of the rafting session, you can freshen up and change into dry clothes before the relaxing drive back to Yogyakarta. Your driver will drop you off at your hotel or chosen accommodation, ensuring you end the day feeling satisfied, safe, and full of unforgettable memories.
