4D3N Yogyakarta Tour Package

Built in 1758 by Sultan Hamengkubuwono I. Just west of the kraton, part of this pleasure garden and castle is at present no more than an intriguing collection of ruins, pools, arches and underground passages enclosed by massive walls, however, the central courtyard with the nymph-baths has been restored.

Kotagede, about five kilometers southeast of Yogyakarta, is a neat little town which was once the seat of the mighty Mataram empire. In this old palace town with its walled-in houses, the graves of the first rulers of Mataram are still to be found. Since the 1930s, however, Kotagede has become famous for being the center of the Yogya silverwork industry. Kotagede is easily reached by "andong", the four wheeled horse-drawn cart, by taxi, bus, or car. There are a number of workshops where visitors are welcome to watch silver being transformed into beautiful works of art known as "Yogya Silver".

Prambanan temple is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia. It is located 17 KM at northeast Jogjakarta and dedicated to the Trimurti, the expression of God, as the creator (Brahma), the preserver (Vishnu) and the destroyer (Shiva). Prambanan compound built by Rakai Pikatan from Sanjaya Dynasty around 850 CE and expanded by other Mataram Kings. It rediscovered by a surveyor named Collin Mackenzie, under British Occupation Sir Thomas Stanford Raffles. This temple is popular with “Roro Jonggrang and Bandung Bondowoso” legend and become a spectacular open-air stage for Ramayana Ballet performance every full moon night.

The magical temple of Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in Indonesia that was built in 9th century. Located north west of Yogyakarta, Borobudur was completed in the second half of the ninth century. Borobudur was unknown and neglected for almost a thousand years, covered under thick layers of volcanic ash. From a far Borobudur looks like a huge but ordinary stone construction. But from nearby we can see that it consists of hundreds of wonderfully detailed statues and sculptures, representing Buddhist teachings mixed with images of Javanese life of a thousand years ago.

It’s common to visit Borobudur Temple on the day time. But if you want to witness amazing scenery of Borobudur and its surrounding, better to visit it in the dawn. You can set your alarm to ring earlier since sunrise tour usually starts around 04.30 am. During the tour, you can breathe fresh air, witness amazing sunrise, and enjoy beautiful scenery of Borobudur surroundings. If the sky is clear, you can see Mount Merapi with its volcano smoke from the distance.
