Borobudur Temple – Climb to the Top of the World’s Largest Buddhist Monument

Begin your journey at dawn or in the morning with a drive to the legendary Borobudur Temple. Upon arrival, your local guide will assist with the special Climb-Up access to the upper terraces — a rare opportunity to stand among the ancient stupas and admire the panoramic view of Mount Merapi and the lush Kedu Valley.
Learn about the intricate carvings that tell the story of Siddhartha’s path to enlightenment, and discover the spiritual harmony that makes Borobudur one of the greatest wonders of Southeast Asia.

After Borobudur, enjoy a relaxing drive back toward Yogyakarta for a local lunch break before continuing to the majestic Prambanan Temple Complex. Your professional guide will lead you through the towering spires of this 9th-century Hindu temple, dedicated to the Trimurti — Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
Hear the romantic legend of Roro Jonggrang and learn how ancient Javanese art and architecture flourished under Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms. With its detailed stone reliefs and dramatic background of Mount Merapi, Prambanan is one of Indonesia’s most breathtaking cultural treasures.
