The experience

Your driver leads you to the ticket booth at the entrance of Borobudur, then an experienced local guide takes you up through each level of the temple. The stone walls are carved with relief stories, and the guide stops to explain them along with the history of the temple as you climb, so every level has something to look at and something to hear.

Then Prambanan opens into a wide, landscaped park. You can wander it alone at your own pace or walk it with a local guide, and the view of the great Hindu temples dedicated to Shiva, Brahma and Wisnu builds as you go, with the 47-meter peak rising above the ruins of the other temples around it.

Last comes Sewu Temple, where you can walk among the ancient ruin or ride a bicycle to it. Bottled water is part of the day, and the air-conditioned vehicle carries you between the sites, so you can give your attention to the stone rather than the route.
