Yogyakarta, Solo and the great temples
Five days on the classical side of Java: two royal cities, two World Heritage temple complexes, and the workshops that still supply them.
Day 1
Kraton grounds and the Taman Sari water castle.
Day 2
Sunrise on the upper terraces, then the Mendut and Pawon temples.
Day 3
The Shiva complex at dusk, with the Ramayana ballet in season.
Day 4
A second court city, its markets and its keris smiths.
Day 5
Silver and batik workshops before the afternoon transfer.
Temples, volcanoes and the sea, end to end
Our most complete route: the cultural heart of Yogyakarta, sunrise on Bromo, the blue fire of Ijen, and three unhurried days on the Karimunjawa reef.
Bromo, Ijen and the Dieng plateau
Seven days and three very different volcanic landscapes: a sand sea, an acid lake burning blue, and a cold plateau of thousand-year-old temples.
