Description
Discover the Prambanan Temple and the slopes of Mount Merapi on a guided tour from Yogyakarta. Enjoy the sunset over the temple complex and admire the volcanic landscape.
Start your journey in the afternoon with pickup from your accommodation in Yogyakarta. Travel comfortably toward the majestic Prambanan Temple, the largest Hindu temple complex in Indonesia, built in the 9th century.
Walk through the ancient temples dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma while listening to fascinating stories about Javanese kingdoms, Hindu mythology, and the legendary tale of Roro Jonggrang. As the afternoon light softens, enjoy the magical atmosphere of Prambanan during sunset — one of the most beautiful times to visit the temple.
After exploring Prambanan, continue your adventure to the slopes of Mount Merapi. Stop at a Lava View point where you can admire the dramatic volcanic landscape shaped by past eruptions. Your guide will share stories about Merapi’s powerful eruptions and how local communities live alongside one of the world’s most active volcanoes.
