Day 2: Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta - Prambanan - Borobudur (Breakfast, Lunch)
Morning dedicated to exploring the city of Yogyakarta. The tour includes a visit to the Sultan's Palace, Kraton (closed on Mondays), a splendid example of traditional Javanese court architecture. The itinerary continues with a visit to the Prambanan Temple (closed on Mondays), a Hindu temple considered the most elegant in Java. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, we visit the Borobudur Buddhist Temple (closed on Mondays), located about 40 km from Yogyakarta. The massive stone stupa of Borobudur is one of the largest ancient architectural monuments linked to the Mahayana tradition. Built between 750 and 850 AD, Borobudur predates Cambodia's Angkor Wat by three centuries.
Buried under volcanic ash and tropical vegetation, it was rediscovered only in 1815. Recently, it has been fully restored through an international effort under UNESCO's guidance. Borobudur is truly a Mandala, a map of the cosmic universe and the human mind—a point of integration, unity, and connection. According to Buddhist philosophy, as we ascend on this pilgrimage, we symbolically reach the precious "Nirvana." Return to the hotel and overnight.
Note: Most of the attractions & museums in Yogya are closed on Monday. Please be aware of this to avoid any closure.
