Highlights
  • Borobudur Temple - Our driver cum guide will pick up you around 3:45 am from your hotel lobby centrally located Yogyakarta. Head to first stop Borobudur temple. Enjoy sunrise at Borobudur well worth of time and money. This is one of world’s truly great ancient monuments, the single largest Buddhist structure anywhere on earth, and few who visit fail to be taken by both the scale of place, and the remarkable attention to detail that went into the construction. Set as it is in the heart of the verdant Kedu Plain, the backdrop of mighty active volcanoes only enhances the sense of awe and drama

  • Pawon Luwak - Visit Pawon temple, Pawon from the word Per-awu-an (place that contains dust), a temple that houses the dust of cremated king. However who was the personage that entombed here is still unknown. Local people name this temple as “Bajranalan” based on the name of the village.

  • Candi Mendut (Temple) - Then pay a visit to Mendut Temple. It was built by King Indra of Syailendra Dynasty. Rectangular temple with multistoried roofs decorated small stupas were built earlier than Pawon Temple and Borobudur Temple which are located in on straight line. Different from Borobudur Temple that facing the rising sun, Mendut Temple entrance faces westward.

  • Merapi Volcano - Continue your tour by visiting to Merapi Volcano by a jeep. It is one of the world’s most active and dangerous volcanoes.

Tulus is king of guides - This is a magnificent 10+ trip. Tulus our guide is a rockstar. He knows everything and everybody. We were treated like a VIP by him and wherever we went. One of the very best guides we ever experienced. The temples, jeep tour and sunrise breakfast were unique. Travel with Tulus!!

Classy way to see Borobudur, Prambanan, and Merapi - The morning far exceeded expectations. On arriving to the spot we would watch sunrise over Borobudur, we were surprised to see that we had a nice breakfast prepared for us and a man playing music for us while we ate. Our guide Tulus did a great job showing us around the temples and by request even brought us to a Batik school on the way back to town where we could buy Batik art without getting ripped off. The Jeep tour company that they work with was also great. Our Jeep guide basically did a photo shoot of us in an old US Army Jeep (apparently from WWII) overlooking the volcano.

Amazing trip with amazing guide, Tulus! - Had such an amazing trip to see the Buddhist and Hindu Temples as well as a super fun jeep trip to see the volcano. Luckily there wasn't a ton of people at the sights, there of course was a handful but not an overwhelming amount. Maybe it's because of how hot it was! Also the jeep trip is super fun and the guide, Deny, was amazing! We were a little disappointed that we didn't go to the actual volcano, but nonetheless it was still a great time. But we had the most amazing guide for the whole trip, Tulus! He is so helpful and kind and we made a lot of pit stops with him that made the whole trip that much more amazing and unforgettable. We got to see smaller temples, stop at a local outside market, a chocolate factory and even a coffee shop that had the mongooses that produce their coffee. We couldn't have a had better guide for our first trip to Indonesia!
