Sunrise to sunset
Q2479KCjohnm, October 2026
A very long but rewarding day visiting Borobudur for the sunrise, the temple itself, the Merapi volcano and Prambanan temple. Bami my guide and driver was excellent, knew how to look after me, help me out and make sure I had a great time. Borobudur is incredible despite the heat, the jeep ride near mount Merapi was a lot of fun and something different. I got a lot out of the day and enjoyed it immensely, thank you Bami
