Yogyakarta boasts stunning architecture and a truly spiritual sensibility. The ancient Hindu temples of Prambanan look like hand-drizzled sand castles, while the Sultan's palace is reminiscent of a gilded music box filled with jewels. Known for its arts and handicrafts, Yogyakarta is a cultural hub, a nerve center for traditional and modern puppetry.

This is undoubtedly the best experience I had in Indonesia... I reached while it was pitch dark and the moon was just rising above the stupa... that view was so mesmerising that I was happy even if I don’t see any sunrise due to clouds... but I was lucky and the clouds were just enough to make it a perfect sunrise... the foggy morning also added the charm in the view... it was quite and a beautiful morning with less people around... and not to mention that the stupa made in speechless once I explored it while returning from the top to the bottom of it... I then finished the exploration since the general public admission started and then there was a lot of crowd... I was glad to make a sunrise plan to avoid the crowd and to enjoy moments of peace! PS. The breakfast at Manohara restaurant is included in the entry ticket and was surely not to be missed ????

I looked hard for this specific tour as it included the Borobudur sunrise along with Prambanan temple, but it also included Candi Mendut. We were picked up at 3:30 AM by Anang. Anang was a courteous, careful driver who spoke passable English and I was immediately comfortable with him. Anang was the main reason I really enjoyed this trip. We arrived at the Manohara restaurant where he offered us an English speaking guide. My daughter and I wanted a very quiet experience so I hesitated Unfortunately there were no guides left when I decided to get one, but Anang saved us a great deal of time by walking us to the temple entrance and showing us a great place to sit at the top. The sunrise was stunning. The way the sun glowed off the structures within the temple and through the fog surrounding the temple made the experience unforgettable, and well worth the 3:30 AM pickup. We then toured the ship museum and saw the full size Samudraraska ship (well with the small amount of extra money). We then ate a nice breakfast in the restaurant. We drove to two smaller temples including Candi Mendut. Though smaller, this temple was quite pretty. As a bonus, we met a puppet maker (one of the true local skilled craftsmen) and visited a Kopi Luwak coffee producer where we had a quite delightful cup of coffee and met an actual civit. We then visited the Prambanan temples complex. Our English speaking guide was Harris. Harris was amazing, both in his enthusiasm and in his knowledge of the temples. Harris was definitely the second reason I enjoyed the trip as much as I did. He was able to tell us about each of the statues inside the temples and even related the story of Rama and the monkey king carved into the stone of the Main temple. Prambanan was an amazing sight and an important part of the Javan heritage. We returned to the hotel (in Yogyakarta) around 2 PM. It was a very pleasant day and I felt like all my expectations had been fully realized. Thank you Anang and Harris

This was a beautiful tour except for the fact that it rained the whole time. The temples were beautiful, our guides friendly and attentive, and it was just too bad that it tipped it down the whole time and that put a dampener on the experience.
