Borobudur Sunrise and Dieng Plateau Tour
- Hotel pick up
Watch a breath-taking sunrise over the incredible Borobudur Temple, considered one of the wonders of the world, and explore the mysterious volcanic area of the Dieng Plateau.
Itinerary
After an early pick up from your hotel in Yogyakarta, you'll head on your journey of around an hour to Borobudur Temple. Climb up to the monument's highest terrace, from which you'll have spectacular panoramic views of the sunrise.
Exploring the largest Buddhist temple in the world, you'll also learn all about the history of this fascinating 9th century sacred site.
Having made the most of Borobudur, you'll head back on the road around 8 am, making the three hour journey to the Dieng Plateau. Dieng, meaning Abode of the Gods, is part of a volcanic complex located 2000 metres above sea level. The plateau is home to a number of small Hindu shrines; you'll visit the Arjuna candi, the oldest Hindu temple complex in Java, and a testament to Indonesia's rich cultural heritage.
While in this area, you'll have the opportunity to explore the still-active volcanic complex, comprising more than twenty craters and volcanic cones, as well as the beautiful colour-changing waters of Telaga Warna - sometimes bright turquoise, other times white or green, depending on the sulfur deposits in the lake.
Your final stop will be the city of Wonosobo, where you'll have free time to eat (not included) before returning to your hotel in Yogyakarta.
