BOROBUDUR SUNRISE (FROM THE TEMPLE), SULTAN PALACE, TAMANSARI WATER CASTLE, AND PRAMBANAN TEMPLE IN YOGYAKARTA

Experience the enchanting wonders of Yogyakarta with our exclusive full-day cultural tour! Begin your day with a magical moment: watching the sunrise from the top of Borobudur Temple, the world’s largest Buddhist monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With special pre-dawn access, you’ll enter the temple grounds before the general public, walking quietly through morning mist as the ancient stone stupas are bathed in golden light.

This is more than just a view—it’s a soul-stirring moment of serenity and wonder, best enjoyed with the guidance of a local expert who will share the temple’s deep historical and spiritual significance.

After the sunrise, unwind with a peaceful breakfast at Manohara Resort, where you can savor your meal while gazing at Borobudur from a scenic garden terrace.

The journey continues as we explore Yogyakarta’s royal heritage. Visit the Sultan’s Palace (Keraton)—the cultural heart of the city and home to Yogyakarta’s royal family—then stroll through the mystical Tamansari Water Castle, a former royal bathing complex that showcases elegant Javanese architecture.

In the afternoon, marvel at the majestic Prambanan Temple, the largest Hindu temple complex in Indonesia, famous for its towering spires and intricate reliefs depicting ancient legends.
