Highlights
  • Borobudur Temple - Our carefully curated one-day tour kicks off with a visit to the iconic Borobudur Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Central Java, Indonesia.

The Borobudur complex features an awe-inspiring array of intricately carved stone reliefs and a multitude of Buddha statues, set amidst a verdant landscape with volcanic mountains as a backdrop.

There are two types of tickets available for tourists interested in exploring Borobudur.

The first type provides access to the temple yard only, without the opportunity to ascend the temple monument itself. This is for those who want to appreciate the overall temple complex and soak in its grandeur from the ground level.

The second ticket type, however, offers full access to the temple, including the privilege to climb the monument, allowing visitors to enjoy panoramic views from the top levels.

The cost for the temple yard-only ticket is IDR 375K IDR (25 USD) while the full access ticket is priced at IDR 455k.

  • Prambanan Temples - After your enriching experience at Borobudur, we’ll journey on to the splendid Prambanan Temple, the second destination in our one-day tour. Prambanan is another UNESCO World Heritage site, situated a short distance away from Yogyakarta. This 9th-century Hindu temple compound, the largest in Indonesia, offers another extraordinary peek into the country’s rich cultural and religious heritage.

Visitors to Prambanan can enjoy a stroll around the expansive temple compound, appreciating the grandeur of the pointed, towering structures and the intricate stone carvings. Each stone relief in Prambanan tells a story, with the most famous being the epic tale of Ramayana.

The temple complex is equally captivating at sunset when the golden rays cast an enchanting glow on the ancient stone structures.

The entrance ticket to Prambanan Temple is IDR 375K IDR or approximately 25 USD, providing you with access to explore this historical marvel at your own pace.

Amazing - The driver was very kind and funny. The picked us up on time and took us to Prambanan and then Borubudur. He was in constant contact with us and even he texted me to send me a closer location at Borubudur Temple because it was raining

Great day visiting temples - Spent the entire day with Nanda who was prompt and very helpful throughout the day. Walked with us Into both Borobodor and Prambanaham temples securing our tickets and making sure we had everything we needed. The cost seems high at first but it includes admission to both complexes and they will do it all for you before you arrive. His car was spacious, clean and we really appreciated the AirCon after all the walking. We had a good time talking to him and he offered to stop for anything we needed along the way. We highly recommend Nanda and are sorry we only had one day with him.

Borobudur and Merapi jeep trip - Excellent trip. Indra was a great driver with excellent English. He organised temple entrance ticket in advance and accompanied me thru the entrance process to Boroburdur. The guide at the temple was excellent, explaining history and spiritual meaning. At my drivers suggestion I went to Merapi Lava jeep trip which was interesting for me as I was last in Yogya just after the Merapi eruption and earthquake in 2006.

Perfect one day trip!! - It was an excellent one-day trip in Jogyakarta. My guide, Indra-san was the best guide/driver I've ever had. He was caring, flexible, and very intelligent. Since I was a solo traveler, I really enjoyed conversation with him. I learned many things about Indonesia and Jogyakarta from him. His suggestion for the trip schedule was perfect, I could enjoy Borobudur, Mount. Merapi, and Pranbanan in a day. The trip was full of satisfaction. Highly recommended.
