About this experience
Borobudur the UNESCO site, Pawon and Mendut Temples are Buddhist Temples built by King Samaratungga of the Syailendra dynasty in the 8th century. The three Buddhist temples have interesting beliefs or embossed images depicting the life of the Buddha and his reincarnation in the form of Jataka and Lalitavistara stories.
Doing exploration on the slopes of Mount Merapi by a Jeep 4WD is quite exciting to do in Java. Mount Merapi is the most active volcano on the island of Java. Last erupted in 2010, tourists will see the atmosphere of the natural beauty of the slopes of Mount Merapi which looks stunning. Excited to explore on a jeep drive.
A combination of wonderful heritage places and a nature atmosphere.
Followed by a visit to the Prambanan temple complex. Can visit Bubrah, Lumbung, and Sewu temples to the north of Prambanan Temple. A romantic story will be impressed to enjoy the relics of the past.
