Why this trip
Standing on the steps of Borobudur before sunrise demands an early alarm and a little fitness. Yogyakarta is the starting point for this temple, which lies above the mist in the morning light. The climb over steps is short, but the route across the grounds adds up. Already early in the morning the air is humid and warm, so light clothing and a water bottle are important.
Prambanan with its tall towers and Keraton Ratu Boko on a hill are further destinations where you walk a lot on foot. In the Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, the Sultan's palace, and in the Taman Sari the pace changes: here you walk slowly through courtyards and water gardens. April to October is the best time to travel. Jakarta, Bali and Lombok lie close as neighbours, and Lombok suits everyone who wants to head into the mountains afterwards.
The journey takes about 14 to 17 hours with a change, a visa is required, which you check before booking. How much heat and how many steps you feel up to is something you discuss with Adventure in the video call.
