Açıklama

Explore coffee plantation in the morning at Magelang - central Java. Try to taste of local coffee in Java homeland coffee. Explore Borobudur afternoon to learn about Buddhism in beautiful temple.
Your day begins in the cool, misty highlands of Central Java (typically around the slopes of Mount Merbabu or the Menoreh Hills near Magelang). You arrive at a historic coffee surrounded by terraced volcanic slopes. You are greeted with a warm cup of freshly brewed Javanese coffee or a traditional jamu (herbal tonic drink) paired with fried bananas (pisang goreng). You set out on an easy walk through lush, shaded groves of Arabica and Robusta trees. You will learn:
How volcanic soil and altitude influence the beans' flavor profile.
The difference between Arabica and Robusta plants.
How to identify ripe, bright red "coffee cherries."
During harvest season (May to September), you get hands-on experience picking mature cherries directly from the branches alongside local farmers.
Follow the journey of the bean from field to cup. You'll see the traditional depulping, sun-drying, and sorting steps. At the roasting hut, you’ll observe—and participate in—traditional Javanese coffee roasting using a clay skillet (wajan) over an open wood fire. You can even try your hand at grinding the roasted beans with a heavy stone mortar and pestle.
Next trip Relax on a scenic 45-minute drive down from the cool highlands toward the Magelang plain, where the UNESCO World Heritage site of Borobudur awaits.
Arrive at the Borobudur park complex. Change into mandatory special woven slippers (Upat-Upat), designed to protect the ancient stone steps, and meet your licensed temple guide. Begin at the base (Kamadhatu), representing the human realm of desires. Your guide walks you through the lower stone walls, pointing out intricate relief panels carved into grey volcanic tuff. You’ll hear stories of Javanese life, ancient ships, and Buddhist folklore depicted on the stone walls. Climb the steep stone steps to the middle terraces (Rupadhatu), representing the world of forms. As you reach the upper circular platforms (Arupadhatu), the dense carvings give way to a serene, open-air layout dominated by 72 bell-shaped perforated stupas.
Peer through the stone lattice of the stupas to see the seated Buddha statues inside.
Walk clockwise around the central main stupa while taking in panoramic 360-degree views of the surrounding palm groves, rice paddies, and the distant silhouettes of Mount Merapi and Mount Merbabu. As afternoon turns to late afternoon, the harsh sun softens into golden light—ideal for capturing photos of the stupas against the mountain backdrop. End the tour with a peaceful walk down through the lush temple gardens before heading back to your hotel
