Itinerary Borobudur Sunrise and Merapi Lava Tour
Here’s the full itinerary of your Borobudur Sunrise and Merapi Lava Tour:
03:30 AM – Hotel Pick-Up from Yogyakarta
Your driver arrives early at your hotel in Yogyakarta. The city remains quiet, with the air cool and calm. As you head toward Borobudur, the road feels peaceful, passing through small villages and sleepy streets. There’s a sense of excitement in the stillness; you’re on your way to witness one of the most beautiful sunrises in Indonesia.
04:00 AM – Arrival and Registration at Manohara Borobudur
You arrive at the Manohara entrance, where you’ll register for special early access to Borobudur Temple. With a small flashlight in hand, you begin walking toward the temple. The ancient stones rise slowly before you in the soft morning darkness, each step leading you closer to the top.
05:00 AM – Sunrise at Borobudur Temple
At the top, you find your spot among the stone stupas. The horizon begins to brighten, revealing layers of mist over the Kedu Valley. Then, the first rays of sunlight break through, turning the sky gold and painting the temple in warm light.
The scene is breathtaking. As the sun climbs higher, the carvings on the walls glow softly, revealing centuries of stories about life, faith, and enlightenment. It’s a peaceful moment, one that stays with you long after you’ve left.
06:30 AM – Breakfast at Manohara Resort
After exploring the temple with your local guide, you head back to Manohara Resort for breakfast. The view of Borobudur from the restaurant terrace is serene, surrounded by palm trees and green fields. With a cup of coffee in hand, you take a quiet moment to enjoy the calm before the next adventure begins.
07:30 AM – Depart for Mount Merapi
You leave Borobudur and drive toward the northern slopes of Mount Merapi. The transition from the temple’s stillness to the rugged beauty of volcanic terrain feels like stepping into another world.
The drive takes about an hour. Along the way, you pass traditional villages, farmland, and glimpses of the majestic volcano in the distance.
09:00 AM – Start the Merapi Lava Tour by Jeep
At the Jeep Basecamp, rows of colorful 4×4 Jeeps wait against the mountain backdrop. You hop in, ready for an exciting ride through the remains of Merapi’s eruptions.
The trail takes you across rocky paths, dry riverbeds, and areas once covered by lava. The landscape tells stories of destruction and renewal, how nature reshapes itself after every eruption.
09:30 AM – Visit Iconic Merapi Stops
Your first stop is Alien Stone, a large rock formation said to resemble a human face. It’s a symbol of how the eruption transformed the land.
Next, the Sisa Hartaku Museum offers a glimpse into the lives affected by Merapi’s power. Burned household items, melted glass, and twisted metal remain as silent witnesses to that tragic event.
Finally, you visit Kaliadem Bunker, a shelter built during earlier eruptions. From here, you get stunning views of Mount Merapi’s summit. The air is cool; the mountain is massive and powerful, both humbling and awe-inspiring.
11:00 AM – Return to Yogyakarta
After the adventure, your Jeep takes you back to basecamp, and you begin your journey back to the city. The drive feels peaceful now, giving you time to reflect on everything you’ve seen, from the calm sunrise at Borobudur to the raw force of Merapi.
By noon, you’re back at your hotel, ending a full day of discovery and connection with Central Java’s heart and spirit.
