Itinerary
- The driver will pick you up to the hotel - Continue the journey to punthuk setumbu
- The sun fulfills a promise to give the beautiful panorama in Punthuk Setumbu Hill. Seeing the sunrise with Borobudur Temple as a landscape and many trees around it make us feel like on top of a cloud palace. - Punthuk setumbu is the name of the hill with a height of 40 meters above sea level that is located about 5 kilometers in the west of Borobudur temple. The hill that is located in Karangrejo village is one of the good spots to see the greatness of Borobudur Temple in the morning and see the beautiful sunrise. If you are lucky, you can see the sunrise appear and shine between Merapi and Merbabu Mountain. Why lucky? Because it depends on the weather. If the weather is cloudy, you can not see the sunrise but if the weather is sunny you can see the sunrise between Merapi and Merbabu Mountain with Borobudur Temple as a landscape. If there is still the fog that close some trees and residential, it is a very beautiful phenomenon.
Gereja Ayam is the common nickname for an unusually shaped church in the area of Magelang in Central Java, Indonesia. The nickname, which translates to "chicken church" in English, arose because the structure's shape resembles a hen to most onlookers, although the builder intended it to be the shape of a dove.
- Borobudur Temple Compounds This famous Buddhist temple, dating from the 8th and 9th centuries, is located in central Java. It was built in three tiers: a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms and, at the top, a monumental stupa. The walls and balustrades are decorated with fine low reliefs, covering a total surface area of 2,500 m2. Around the circular platforms are 72 openwork stupas, each containing a statue of the Buddha. The monument was restored with UNESCO's help in the 1970s. - Lunch at local restaurant (Exclude package)
