Yogyakarta Indonesia and surrounding area
8 videos • 268 views • by Travel with Simon Yogyakarta or Jogja on the Indonesian island of Java has so many amazing things to see both within the city itself but also with a days drive there are two unique experiences not to be missed. The first is visiting the famous Borobudur Temple, if possible plan to overnight at the temple so you can enjoy watching the sunrise from the temple, or if not perhaps try to get an evening ticket so you can enjoy the sunset from Borobudur. The second thing is the Prambanan Temple along with numerous other smaller temple complexes in the area, I spent a day exploring them all and could easily have spent another day if time had allowed. Also nearby is Mount Merapi, and active volcano, in fact the most active volcano in Indonesia. If you have a hankering to visit a beach then head to Pantai Paragtritis. One of the best ways to get to Yogyakarta (or Jogjakarta) is by train from Jakarta or Surabaya depending on where you are flying in to Indonesia.
