Silancur Highland, Kedung Kayang Waterfall and Borobudur Temple Tour from Yogyakarta

Highly recommended: If you plan to visit the top of Borobudur, make sure you yourself book structure tickets online IN ADVANCE, as early as possible. That is because the day tour only includes ground tickets. A total of 1200 structure tickets only sell ONLINE, and each time slot only allows 150 visitors. ———— A breathtaking trip with both natural and cultural wonders. The sunrise in Sliancur is clear, beautiful and tranquil without crowds. Standing tall on the highland, we watch the sky changing in different shades, from cold colors to warm ones. Our next stop is Kedung Kayang Waterfall, where we get to enjoy a clear view of Merapi, too. The photographer there is so professional that he well captures both the waterfall and volcano.(We pay IDR5000 for standing on the observatory and IDR7500 for taking pictures.) Our final stop is Borobudur. With structure tickets, we have a private guide introducing us the history of the world’s largest Buddhist temple. And because of the limited number of visitors per hour, we fully appreciate how peaceful a religion can bring to our mind. To sum up, the natural and cultural wonders take our breath away. And Mr. Teguh, our considerate and humble tour guide, is simply happy because we are happy.

The best experience in Yogyakarta. Unfortunately I could not see sunrise Silancur Highland, please be advised that it's too cold before sunrise. Any food excluded to the tour. however I enjoyed beautiful sceneries in Kedung Kayang Waterfall. The tour guide arranged plans and time in order to join a tour to enter the top part of the temple in Borobudur Temple. If you buy the ticket that is not included this tour, the guide will refund the additional cost.

A wonderful day spent in the company of Lingga, who is not only an excellent driver, but also easy to talk to. The sunrise is totally worth getting up so early for. Very few foreigners go there, but it's a magical place. The waterfall is very impressive in its lush landscape. This activity only allows you to walk around the temple, not climb it. You'll need to pay for an additional ticket, and what you've already paid for the temple tour is non-refundable. Rather than wasting money, it would be a good idea to offer this option, or to tell visitors directly to buy a ticket the day before and select what they want and the hour. I had to wait 2.5 hours to do the ascent, whereas if I'd taken the ticket the day before, the day could have been organized differently. I'd like to thank Lingga for his patience and the long hours on the road. I recommend this amazing trip !

I recently had the opportunity to embark on an incredible journey through Yogyakarta's Silancur Highland, Kedung Kayang Waterfall, and Borobudur Temple, and I must say it was a truly unforgettable experience. From the stunning natural landscapes to the awe-inspiring cultural heritage, this tour had it all. Let's start with Silancur Highland. This place is an absolute paradise for anyone looking to capture picture-perfect moments for their Instagram feed. Every corner seemed to offer a new and breathtaking photo spot, perfect for creating memories that will last a lifetime. The place is well-known to locals and not to foreigners, making this place a less-travelled spot if you want to escape from the tourist packed places. However, it's worth noting that the weather can get quite chilly up there, so it's advisable to bring a jacket or windbreaker to keep yourself warm and comfortable while you explore the area. Next on the itinerary was Kedung Kayang Waterfall and it was worth every step of the 1-kilometer trek to reach its base. The journey itself was an adventure surrounded by lush greenery and river crossings. It's recommended to bring sturdy sandals or slippers to ensure a comfortable and safe crossing. Last but not least, the tour took us to the world-renowned Borobudur Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most iconic landmarks in Indonesia. The intricate carvings, the towering stupas, and the serene atmosphere all combined to create a sense of awe and wonder. Exploring the temple grounds and learning about its rich history from our knowledgeable guide was an enlightening experience. Overall, the Silancur Highland, Kedung Kayang Waterfall, and Borobudur Temple Tour provided an incredible mix of natural beauty and cultural heritage. Every moment was filled with joy and discovery. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Yogyakarta who wants to immerse themselves in the wonders of nature and ancient history.

Our guide was very friendly. He offered to take photos for us and made us comfortable throughout the long day. The three spots that we were brought to were impressive. Although we did not manage to catch the sunrise at Silancur Highlands due to the fog, the view of the volcano after the fog cleared was impressive. The temperature up there was cooling as well. Kedung Kayang Waterfall is an instagrammable spot as well. The lush greenery and waterfall are very pretty backgrounds for any photos. It can be a bit challenging to get to the waterfall as the walk in the water can be slippery. We got there with the help of a local who was in the area. Not recommended for an elderly person to trek to the waterfall. My parents stayed up there to wait for us. Borobodur Temple was impressive. The temple grounds are so big that I need to find the shortest route so that my parents don't need to walk so much.

The whole trip was very smooth, the attractions were beautiful, and the time was sufficient. Our driver and guide, Hotma, provided excellent service. He proactively reminded us of the recommended time at each attraction, the best photo spots, and things to watch out for. He was very considerate and responsible. I felt safe and relaxed throughout the trip, and overall, it's a tour I would recommend to friends.

nice, friendly, funny, talkactive, laugh driver, on time, safe driving, helpful guide sharing location

These kind of tours are highly recommended if you are tourist and currently in Yogakarta finding some new adventures. I also want to extend my appreciation to my driver Hotma for being so accomodating and kind throughout the trip. We shared some stories about our culture and it was really fascinating learning new things while travelling. Will surely go back to these places soon, especially Mt. Sumbing!

Everything was perfect, Satria was really kind and provided much useful information! The pictures I took speak for themselves, it was one of the highlight of my trip!

Nice view of multiple locations within a quick day trip. Friendly driver.
