WORLD Heritage Network - Borobudur Temple & Prambanan Temple, Yogyakarta 1.39

No visit to Indonesia could be considered complete if you miss out visiting some of the more interesting places including Borobudur in Magelang and Prambanan in the nearby regency of Yogyakarta. Borobudur is arguably the most spectacular Buddhist temple in the world, dating back to 8th or 9th century. Although it's located in the town of Magelang, the site is easily accessible from Yogyakarta. Located 57km apart and also well worth a visit is Prambanan, a Hindu temple complex. This temple is located not that far from Yogyakarta Adisucipto International Airport and is closer to the city of Yogyakarta. At the ground of Prambanan, visitors can also watch Ramayana Ballet Performance on certain evenings. Alternatively, one can catch a nightly performance at a theatre in the city of Yogyakarta. Staying at Yogyakarta enables you to visit each temple comfortably in either one or two days.

Further to the west, the Dieng Plateau is a caldera complex formed by the eruption of ancient Mountain Prau. The caldera was once filled up water and then dried up, but volcanic activity continues to this day, with sulphuric fumes and poisonous lakes. Located at an altitude of 2000m, it's also much cooler than the surrounding lowlands. Sight seeing here includes a hot spring, a multi-colored lake (a misnomer), candis and some impressive top-down scenery from the peaks. The different sights all require a small entrance fee which is collected before entry. The fresh air, beautiful greenery and quiet makes the plateau an enjoyable place to stay around. Dieng is an active volcanic region and can be regarded as a giant volcano. Plains formed from volcanic crater that has died. Crater shape can be seen obviously from the plain with mountains cluster surrounding. Yet despite this volcano has been dead for centuries, some volcanic craters are still active until now. Among these is Kawah Sikidang (Sikidang Crater), which is always on the move and jumping like a "kidang" or deer. The uniqueness of the formation process produced an exotic landscape. Telaga Warna (Colorful Lake) that reflects the color green, blue and purple and enchanting the beauty of sunrise from the summit of Gunung Sikunir (Mount Sikunir) is a place that should not be missed while travelling Central Java.

We specialise in arranging tours for tourists around the world to explore Yogyakarta, Central Java and also the must visit Dieng Plateau.
