Beschrijving
Discover the spiritual heart of Central Java on a tour of Borobudur, Prambanan, and Alun-Alun Kidul. Experience a magical sunset and the local tradition of "Masangin."
Begin your day at the majestic Borobudur Temple, the world's largest Buddhist monument. Walk the sacred path of enlightenment, ascending its terraces adorned with thousands of intricate reliefs and hundreds of serene Buddha statues. From the summit, breathe in panoramic views of emerald hills and distant volcanoes—a moment of profound peace.
Next, journey to the magnificent Prambanan Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest Hindu temple complex in Indonesia. Marvel at its towering spires (shikharas) that pierce the sky, dedicated to the Trimurti gods. Explore the exquisitely carved stone panels that narrate the epic Ramayana, a testament to the artistic and spiritual grandeur of the ancient Mataram Kingdom.
As the afternoon mellows, head to the legendary Alun-Alun Kidul (South Square), the mystical southern courtyard of the Yogyakarta Sultanate. As the sun begins its descent, the square transforms. The twin Beringin Kurung (caged banyan trees) cast long shadows, and the warm golden light bathes the historic mosque and the palace walls in a soft glow.
Experience the local tradition of "Masangin" – walking blindfolded between the two sacred banyan trees, a test of heart and spirit believed to bring good fortune. As twilight deepens, the square comes alive with a gentle, carnival-like atmosphere. The air fills with the scent of sizzling street food from lesehan mats, the colorful glow of LED-lit vintage bicycles (sepeda hias), and the soft chatter of families and friends gathering.
