Fancy climbing volcanoes, visiting temples and relaxing on dream beaches? Then it's high time to hit up Java and Bali! Kick off your multi-stop trip through Indonesia with Yogyakarta's thundering waterfalls and mystical temples, followed up by a panoramic train journey to Surabaya. And the biggest highlight is yet to come: a volcano hike at sunrise! Climb up to the turquoise crater lake on the summit of Mt Ijen, then make another dream come true with a second sunrise hike to Mt Bromo. All hiked out, it's time for Ubud's enchanting jungle scenery in the island paradise of Bali. Discover the legendary island's highlights, stand at the famous Gate of Heaven and balance on the stone slabs of the most beautiful water temple. And last but not least, round off your trip with some well-deserved R&R on Sanur's stunning white sand beaches. Sound good? It really is!
Your plane shoots into the sky and Jakarta gets smaller and smaller beneath you until it disappears completely under the clouds. You close your eyes briefly and dream of all the experiences to come. And before long, you're approaching the runway. Welcome to Java's cultural heart; welcome to Yogyakarta! You drop your bags in your room then stroll along the lively main street, Malioboro, marvelling at its galleries and markets and taking it all in. Fun fact: Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world, is only about 25 miles outside the city and is considered one of Java's biggest highlights. So don't miss out! Hire a motor scooter (optional, payable on site) and admire the beautiful bell-shaped stupas. It's particularly beautiful here at sunset, when the impressive complex is bathed in golden light – a once-in-a-lifetime moment! Then end the evening comfortably at ViaVia Jogja for some sustainable, delicious and healthy scran – yum!
New day, new temple! Besides Borobudur, Prambanan is the second major highlight near Yogyakarta. The best way to get there is by hiring a motor scooter (optional, payable on site) and heading east. Even from a distance, you'll be able to spot the impressive main temple of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, which rises almost 165 feet into the sky! Prepare to be amazed as soon as you enter the temple (optional, entrance fee payable on site) – it's huge! Stroll through the lush, green park and past mighty shrines and the remains of over 200 temples. And if you feel like Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, it's normal – the similarities to Angkor Wat are obvious! Back in Yogyakarta and hungry after all your adventures, it's time to explore the street food markets of Jalan Wongsodirjan. Do the famous saté skewers live up to their reputation? Go on, find out!
