Explore the ancient wonders of Indonesia with a visit to Borobudur, often referred to as the "stone lotus," one of the oldest Buddhist shrines dating back to the 9th century. Rediscovered in the 19th century after centuries of obscurity, Borobudur now stands as a remarkable UNESCO World Heritage site and a magnet for tourists and Buddhist pilgrims alike. Marvel at its mandala-like structure from above and delve into its intricate bas-reliefs and serene Buddha statues housed within stupa alcoves. 

Adjacent to Borobudur lies the mystical Hindu complex of Prambanan, featuring the towering Shiva temple alongside temples dedicated to Vishnu, Brahma, and the sacred animal gods. Each structure is a testament to Indonesia's rich cultural and religious diversity.

Step into history at the Kraton Palace, where you can glimpse into the lives of Javanese sultans from the 19th century. Although some parts of the palace were damaged over the years, a portion has been meticulously restored, offering a glimpse into its former splendor with pavilions and canals that reflect its regal past.

Embark on a captivating journey through Java's ancient temples and palaces, uncovering their unique stories, legends, and mysteries that have shaped Indonesia's cultural tapestry over the centuries. Experience the heritage of a bygone era firsthand and immerse yourself in the allure of these timeless architectural marvels.

    We really enjoyed the tour! We had a private car with a driver and a guide. The guide shared interesting stories about all the locations and even agreed to take us to a place that wasn't on the itinerary. He made sure we had a great meal and took us to a fantastic hotel in the evening. The whole day went smoothly, and we felt completely at ease.

    A huge thanks to our guide Yusuf for an insightful and relaxing tour of the ancient temples, and for organizing the whole trip. Java is stunning with its volcanoes, friendly locals, and rich culture—it's a place that will stay in our hearts and memories forever! We highly recommend the two-day tour with a hotel stay; it gives you time to unwind and explore the city in the evening without rushing.
