Day 1: Jakarta – Historical & Political Landmarks

Your journey begins in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital and largest city. You’ll explore Kota Tua (Old Batavia), where Dutch colonial buildings stand as a reminder of the city's rich past. Stroll through Fatahillah Square, visit the historic Jakarta History Museum, and enjoy the vibrant street life.

Later, stop by Monas (Monumen Nasional) — Indonesia’s National Monument, symbolizing the country's independence. Climb to the observation deck for panoramic views of Jakarta’s skyline

Day 2: Bandung – Kawah Putih & Tea Plantations

Next, travel to the cool highlands of Bandung, West Java’s creative capital. Visit the stunning Kawah Putih, a surreal crater lake known for its milky turquoise water and mystical atmosphere. Surrounded by volcanic cliffs and mist, it's one of the most photogenic spots in Java.

Continue the day with a scenic visit to one of Bandung’s famous tea plantations, where rolling green hills stretch as far as the eye can see. Learn about the traditional tea-making process and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

Day 3: Yogyakarta – Royal Culture and Ancient Temples

Travel overland or by train to Yogyakarta, Java’s cultural soul. This city is known for its rich traditions, warm hospitality, and thriving arts scene.visit Borobudur and Pramabanan a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest Buddhist temple in the world.

Built in the 9th century, Borobudur is an architectural masterpiece, with over 2,600 relief panels and 500 Buddha statues spread across nine stacked platforms. As you ascend the temple in a clockwise direction, you symbolically move through stages of enlightenment — just as Buddhist pilgrims have done for centuries.

The temple is surrounded by misty mountains and lush green landscapes, making it not only a place of deep spiritual meaning but also one of incredible natural beauty. 

Prambanan Temple – A Hindu Legacy in the Heart of Java

Also located near Yogyakarta is the majestic Prambanan Temple, another UNESCO-listed heritage site and the largest Hindu temple complex in Indonesia.

Built in the same era as Borobudur, Prambanan is dedicated to the Hindu trinity: Shiva the Destroyer, Vishnu the Preserver, and Brahma the Creator. Its central tower rises over 47 meters, surrounded by smaller shrines and stone carvings that depict scenes from the Ramayana epic.

As you walk through the temple grounds, you'll feel the powerful contrast between Java's Buddhist and Hindu legacies, beautifully preserved in stone.
