Yogyakarta – Borobodur – City Tour (Breakfast/Lunch/-)
Breakfast at the hotel
07:00 hrs We will bring you to the most spectacular and world’s biggest Buddhist monument complex. It was built around 800 A.D. Pick up from the hotel and drive about one hour to visit Borobodur. Looming out of a patchwork of bottle-green paddies and swaying palm tops, this colossal Buddhist relic is one of the continent’s marvels. After the decline of Buddhism and the shift of power to East Java, the monument was abandoned soon after its completion. For centuries the complex lay forgotten, buried under layers of volcanic ash. Climb up to the top and enjoy a wonderful view on the Menoreh mountains. Enough time is given to stroll around the complex and to discover its beauty. Afterwards continue to visit the nearby located temples such as Candi Pawon, Mendut. We proceed to have lunch a local restaurant. After lunch, you will visit the Kraton Palace, located in the heart of the old city; the huge palace of the sultans of Yogyakarta is effectively the centre of a small walled city within the city. Over 25,000 people live within the greater Kraton compound, which contains its own market, shops, batik and silver cottage industries, schools and mosques. Just at the edge of the Water Castle, visit of the Pasar Ngasem (Bird Market). Afterwards, continue to Kota Gede. Kota Gede has been famed as the hub of Yogyakarta’s silver industry since the 1930’s. But this quiet old town, which is now a suburb of Yogya, was the first capital of the Mataram Kingdom, found by Panembahan Senopati in 1582. Visit the busy silver workshops. Late afternoon return to your hotel. *** Dinner at own arrangement *** Accommodation at the Santika hotel / Melia Purosani / Hyatt Regency
