Pick Up from Hotel / Other Places

Your unforgettable journey begins with a friendly pick-up service from your hotel or other designated location within Yogyakarta city center. Our professional driver and guide will warmly welcome you and ensure that you travel comfortably throughout the tour. From the moment you are picked up, you can simply relax and enjoy the day without worrying about transportation or logistics.

Visit Borobudur Temple

The first highlight of the tour is a visit to the majestic Borobudur Temple, one of the world’s greatest wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This massive Buddhist monument, built in the 9th century, is decorated with thousands of intricate relief panels and over 500 Buddha statues. As you walk through the temple’s terraces, you will not only admire its extraordinary architecture but also learn about the rich cultural and spiritual stories carved into its walls. The serene atmosphere and breathtaking views make Borobudur a truly unforgettable experience.

Visit Pawon Temple

The journey then continues to Pawon Temple, a smaller but equally fascinating structure. Although modest in size, Pawon is believed to serve as a spiritual link between Borobudur and Mendut, forming an important part of the sacred Buddhist pilgrimage route. Surrounded by lush greenery and village life, this temple provides a peaceful stop where you can appreciate its elegance and symbolic meaning.

Visit Mendut Temple

Next, you will explore Mendut Temple, which stands gracefully with its distinctive shape and artistic details. Inside the temple, visitors will be amazed by the towering Buddha statues and finely carved stone reliefs that reflect Buddhist teachings and values. Mendut holds great significance in the history of Javanese Buddhism, making it an essential stop for those who wish to understand the cultural depth of the region.

Visit Candirejo Horse Carriage Village

To complete the cultural journey, the tour will take you to Candirejo Village, a traditional Javanese village located near Borobudur. Here, you can immerse yourself in the authentic rural lifestyle by taking a leisurely ride on a horse-drawn carriage (locally called andong or dokar). As you pass through the charming village streets, rice fields, and local houses, you will gain a closer look at the daily life, traditions, and warm hospitality of the local community. This activity offers a truly unique way to experience the countryside and connect with the essence of Java.

Back to Hotel

After a day filled with exploration, history, and cultural encounters, you will be comfortably transferred back to your hotel in Yogyakarta city center. This marks the end of a memorable journey, leaving you with lasting impressions of Central Java’s heritage and local charm.
