NGAYOGYAKARTA HADININGRAT PALACE

The palace court with its grand and elegant Javanese architecture lies in the center of the city.
It was founded by Prince Mangkubumi in 1755. The Prince was then called Sri Sultan
Hamengkubuwono I. He chose the right location of the compound between the Winongo
River and the Code River.The palace stretches out from north to south.The front yard is
called alun-alun Utara (the North Square), and the back yard is called Alun-alun Selatan (the

5
South Square). The layout of the buildings shows that the Palace, the commemorative column
and Mount Merapi lie in one line. The palace meeting hall is called the Pagelaran, where
formal meetings of palace officials are held, while the "Manguntur Tingkil" hall is the place
where the Sultan is seated. The palace visitors can enjoy the atmosphere of the kraton in
former times by visiting the life-size diorama of wedding ceremonies on the palace meeting
hall, performed by puppets which are intentionally arranged to create such an atmosphere.
Sets of Javanese musical instruments, antiques and heirlooms have made the palace of
Yogyakarta worth to visit.

YOGYAKARTA WATER CASTLE

Built in 1758 by Sultan Hamengkubuwono I. Just west of the kraton, part of this pleasure
garden and castle is at present no more than an intriguing collection of ruins, pools, arches
and underground passages enclosed by massive walls, however, the central courtyard with the
nymph-baths has been restored. The Water Castle is located in the older part of the city
within walking distance from the Bird Market. A number of batik workshops line the avenue
leading to the pleasure garden's entrance.

KOTA GEDE
Kotagede, about five kilometers southeast of Yogyakarta, is a neat little town which was once
the seat of the mighty Mataram empire. In this old palace town with its walled-in houses, the
graves of the first rulers of Mataram are still to be found. Since the 1930s, however,
Kotagede has become famous for being the center of the Yogya silverwork industry.
Kotagede is easily reached by "andong", the four wheeled horse-drawn cart, by taxi, bus, or
car. There are a number of workshops where visitors are welcome to watch silver
being transformed into beautiful works of art known as "Yogya Silver".

BATIK RESEARCH CENTER

Situated on the eastern outskirts of the city, it has an interesting permanent exhibition of
batiks in classic and modern designs. The process of batik can also be seen here, both the
hand drawn and hand stamped.

BOROBUDUR & PRAMBANAN

*Enjoy traveling as per your desires - you can customize your tour, where you want to go,
and how you want to do it !

yogyakarta tourThe 300 year old city of Jogyakarta is the cultural heart of Java. Here also is
Indonesia's oldest palace 'The Kraton,' still the domicile of Jogya's royalty. Even now the
current Sultan of Jogyakarta retains remarkable political prestige. Jogyakarta offers an
abundance of Javanese art, painting, silverwork, batik handcraft, traditional Javanese dances,
as well as contemporary art. The city is the cultural centre not only of Java, but of the whole
of Indonesia.

From Jogyakarta one can travel easily to the Borobudur and Prambanan temples, which are
half-day trips from the city. Jogyakarta is situated between the foot of the still-active Merapi
volcano and the mystical Indian Ocean, home of 'Loro Kidul,' Queen of the South Seas.

BOROBUDUR TEMPLE

The most famous of Indonesia's temples is this huge Buddhist pyramid. This is a Buddhism's
largest shrine in Indonesia, built in the 9th century. Located north west of Jogyakarta,
Borobudur was completed in the second half of the ninth century. Like the Hindu temple
complexes Prambanan and the Dieng plateau, Borobudur was unknown and neglected for
almost a thousand years, covered under thick layers of volcanic ash.

From a far Borobudur looks like a huge but ordinary stone construction. But from nearby we
can see that it consists of hundreds of wonderfully detailed statues and sculptures,
representing Buddhist teachings mixed with images of Javanese life of a thousand years ago.

PRAMBANAN TEMPLE

Prambanan is a ten-century old Hindu temple. This temple is dedicated to the Hindu God
Shiva, locally called Candi Loro Jonggrang, which means 'slender virgin.' From an
architectural point of view this beautifully sculptured spire, fifty meters high, indeed

7
resembles a 'slender virgin.' Like the Buddhist stupa in Borobudur Temple, Prambanan was
abandoned when the Buddhist and Hindu Javanese inhabitants moved to East Java.

ramayana danceSeventeen kilometers east of Yogyakarta, it is believed to have been built by

King Balitung Maha Sambu in the middle of the ninth century. Its parapets are adorned with
a bas-reliefs depicting the famous Ramayana story.

The first open-air theater on the southern side of the temple was built in 1960 and the new
theater on the western side of the temple in 1988. During full moon evenings in the month
from May to October, the Ramayana ballet is performed right here. The temple complex of
Prambanan lies among green fields and villages. It has eight shrines, of which the three main
ones are dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma. The main temple of Shiva rises to a height
of 130 feet and houses the magnificent statue of Shiva's consort, Durga.

MOUNT SEMERU TREKKING - BROMO

PRIVATE TRIP

mount bromo, mount semeru trekkingThe still-active Bromo volcano is a day's drive from
Surabaya. Standing on top of this almost 2400 metre high mountain is an unforgettable
experience. The Bromo crater suddenly rises up in the middle of a sea of sand 'lautan passir'.
Looking down from the top of the Bromo into the smoking crater, combined with the view
over the 10 km long Tengger massif is, we would guess, like standing on the moon.

Although one must get started by three o'clock in the morning and walk for an hour through
the sea of sand to get the best sunrise view, it is worth your effort. During the rainy season it
is better wait until after sunrise for climbing Bromo, which then can be cloudy at dawn. The
Bromo highlands are also an important centre for traditional Hindu Javanese beliefs. In the
15th century many Hindu believers fled to the mountains for a safe haven for the upcoming
Moslem rulers.
