Exploring Yogyakarta's Hidden Gem: The Quirky Charm of Bukit Rhema
#indonesiatrip #yogjakarta#church #bukitrhema #indonesia
During our visit to Bukit Rhema, also known as the Chicken Church, we were captivated by its unique structure resembling a giant chicken perched on a hill.
The panoramic views from the top were absolutely stunning, offering a sweeping view of the lush green forests and surrounding mountains. Inside, the peaceful prayer rooms added a serene contrast to the quirky exterior.
Climbing up to the crown of the chicken’s head gave us an even better view. The whole experience was both quirky and spiritual, and it’s definitely one of the most memorable stops on our Yogyakarta trip.
💰Average Price per Person:IDR 25,000 per person.
🕰️Business Hours:8:00 AM - 5:00 PM daily.
📌The fee includes access to the rooftop of the "chicken's head," which offers panoramic views of the surrounding jungles and mountains.
Borobudur Sunrise: A Sacred Experience Worth Every Snapshot
#indonesiatrip #100waysoftravel #borobudur #yogjakarta #sunrise
I would say that a Borobudur sunrise trip is an absolute must. While taking photos during sunrise at the world-famous Borobudur may be nearly impossible without capturing other people in your shots, the experience is still unparalleled. The view is so sacred and awe-inspiring that it transcends any minor inconveniences, making it truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

NALENDRO GARDEN | CAFE WITH PLANTS
The scenery in Magelang and its surroundings is quite unique. At that time, I honestly just chose nalendro borobudur to fill my stomach and to have a place to pray when passing through Magelang. Nalendro is also close to Borobudur Temple, less than 3 km away.
It turns out that Nalendro looks even more beautiful in person than it does on social media--including in this Reel. It's really ideal to visit in the afternoon, although we had to miss the sunset because we didn't want to arrive too late in Yogyakarta. The afternoon is very pleasant sitting in the outdoor area, which is a cactus garden. They say it’s similar to a desert in Arizona, but I’ve never been there so I don’t want to make a mistake.
Nalendro's cactus garden is well-maintained, providing a beautiful view facing the hills. An hour doesn’t feel enough to do everything--eating, enjoying the view, praying, and taking content. We didn’t even have time to take a video of the shaded area protected by trees, an ideal seating area if you visit during the day.
The prices of food and drinks are quite cheap for such a beautiful place. Fried rice costs around 40 thousand rupiahs and comes in a large portion. Additionally, we ordered wedang, which is only priced in the tens of thousands.

Yogyakarta | One of the four great wonders of the East, one must see it with their own eyes
One of the four great wonders of the East, one must see it with their own eyes. In the heart of Java Island lies an ancient and mysterious temple, silently telling stories of a thousand years, hailed as one of the seven wonders of the world. Borobudur, this is not just a stupa, but also a guardian of time, waiting for every traveler to unveil its veil and experience a spiritual journey through time and space.
📍【Detailed Address】📍
Borobudur is located near the city of Yogyakarta in Central Java Province, Indonesia.
🚗【Transportation Tips】🚗
• From Yogyakarta: The most convenient way is to rent a car or book a charter service from a travel agency, which takes about 1.5 hours by car. If you want to experience the local atmosphere, you can choose to take public transportation, first taking a bus from Yogyakarta to Magelang, then transferring to local transportation to Borobudur.
• Tip: It is recommended to depart in the early morning to avoid the peak of the crowd and to witness the most stunning light and shadow show of Borobudur at sunrise.
🏛️【Must-Visit Attractions】🏛️
• Sunrise Viewing: Book a 'sunrise ticket' in advance, climb to the top of Borobudur at dawn, and watch the first rays of sunlight gently awaken the sleeping stupa, an incomparable experience.
• Explore the Stupa: Borobudur has ten levels, each carved with exquisite reliefs and Buddha statues. Savor these artistic masterpieces and feel the accumulation of a thousand years of culture.
• Guided Tour: It is recommended to hire an English-speaking guide to gain an in-depth understanding of the stories behind each stone, making the trip more profound and meaningful.
🍲【Food Recommendations】🍲
• Gudeg Yu Djum: When in Yogyakarta, don't miss the local specialty 'Gudeg', a dish of tender bamboo shoots and jackfruit slowly stewed in coconut milk, and Yu Djum is one of the most famous old brands locally.
• Sate Kambing Pawon: A grilled mutton skewer shop near Borobudur, with delicious meat and a special chili sauce, is a good choice to replenish energy.
🏞️【Recommended Surrounding Attractions】🏞️
• Prambanan Temple Complex: Not far from Borobudur, it is another important Hindu site, also worth spending half a day exploring.
• Merapi Volcano: For adventure-loving travelers, participating in a Merapi Volcano trek to feel the power of nature up close is definitely an unforgettable experience.
• Yogyakarta Palace: Back in the city of Yogyakarta, consider visiting the historic Yogyakarta Palace to experience the culture and traditions of the Javanese royal family.
🔍
Borobudur is not just a visual shock, but also a spiritual cleansing. Here, every step echoes history, and every gaze seems to travel through a thousand years. Plan your Yogyakarta trip, and let Borobudur become the most dazzling chapter in your travel memories.
9th Century Architectural Marvel
My visit to Borobudur Temple in Central Java, Indonesia was eye opening. Located about 1 hours drive to Yogyakarta, it was akin to stepping into a world of ancient wonders. If you have been there, you would agree that this massive temple, built over 1,000 years ago, is truly a breathtaking architectural marvel. And beyond just being a pretty sight, the rich cultural heritage and history makes this a must see for anyone visiting the Yogyakarta region.
Currently (as of March 2024), we can now have full access to the temple structure but there is a daily limit of 1,200 visitors. I highly recommend getting the Temple Guided Tour ticket from Trip.com, as opposed to the Borobudur Temple Tickets, as having a guide that explains a brief history of the temple, the carvings on the wall, the religious context etc makes a world of difference. Having made you way there, wouldn’t you want to also go up the temple structure (up the the 9th level)? Also, you get a free pair of sandals when you join the full tour!

I want to travel to Hong Kong to experience its vibrant city life, delicious cuisine, and breathtaking skyline. From bustling markets to the multitude of shopping malls, Hong Kong offers a perfect blend of culture, history, and modernity that I can't wait to explore.
Dawn's Embrace @ Punthuk Setumbu
Watching the sunrise at Punthuk Setumbu near Yogyakarta was an awesome adventure! We woke up super early, starting our journey from Yogyakarta City at 3:45 am. It took us about 15 minutes to climb up the hill.
When we reached the top, we waited for about 30 mins before the sky started to turn pink and orange. The the sun peeked over the horizon at 5:45 am. It was so beautiful! We could see the whole area around us lighting up with the morning sun. Even though we were tired from waking up early, seeing the sunrise made it all worth it. It was like watching a magical painting come to life right before our eyes!

I'm drawn to Hong Kong for its dynamic blend of cultures, bustling street markets, and stunning skyline. From bustling markets to tranquil temples, there's so much to explore. Plus, the fusion of Eastern and Western influences creates a unique and dynamic atmosphere that's truly captivating.
I am meditating at Borobudur

It is the largest Buddhist architectural relic in the world
It is known as one of the four ancient wonders of the East, along with the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal in India, and Angkor Wat in Cambodia

Today, I set off from the hotel in Yogyakarta to Borobudur
The journey takes about an hour
Upon arrival, I got a number plate and waited in the waiting area
When entering, they will check your backpack
You can't bring food, but you can store it
You can retrieve it with your number plate when you finish
After entering, you will first change shoes and get a bottle of water
Soft-soled straw shoes, quite comfortable, and you can take them away (probably to protect the relics
In the waiting area, they will call numbers to assign different tour guides
The guide will take you in, with explanations in English about the history (it's really hard to understand the rolled tongue English, just follow the group
After a while, you can go up and do whatever you want, take pictures, check in, etc.
From the highest point on the top of the mountain, you can see the mountains, it feels like you are at the center of the world
You need to buy a separate ticket to reach the top
But I directly joined a day tour group of Borobudur + Prambanan, which included it
I stayed there for about an hour, and my arms were sunburned
Everyone remember to do sun protection (it's a must, directly exposed to the sun, there is no shade

Discovering Borobudur's Ancient Charm
Borobudur stands majestically at the centre of an attractive assembly of traditional rice-growing village, surrounded by volcanic peaks in Kedu Valley in Central Java.
The temple compund spans an area of about 2500 square metres, which makes it one if not the largest in the world. Despite being intimated by its sheer size, we had to start the adventure.
At the entrance of the temple, we were welcomed by a great challenge. The steps required to climb to the first level, not to mention the number of other sightseers clambering up the steps, feels daunting. Tackling the steep steps requires commitment, thoigh I had to occasionally stop to catch my breath.
The temple usuallu opens at 6 AM. However, you can be in the area at around 5 AM to witness the mesmerising transformation of the temple’s stupas and reliefs, as they bathe in the golden rays of the morning sun.
While this trip might already fulfill my wishlist to visit and experience ancient and historical places, this just made me wish is to see more. I still wish to see similar structures on the other side of the continent. I wish conquer the Mayas and the Incas and see similarities and differences.

Very Good Hotel close to Borobudur Temple
One of the best premium hotels in Central Java. The place is cool and comfortable, close to world tourist destinations, namely the Borobudur temple. The villa is comfortable clean and there is no haunted impression at all. The bathroom is spacious and the room uses a fairly modern and not too old fashioned interior. If you want a villa facing Borobudur, you can take the Borobudur Pool Villa because not all of them face Borobudur.
All staff are very friendly and helpful. During a pandemic like this, all of the employees really implement health protocols and really pamper guests. Suitable for vacation with family or partner.

It is one of the top UNESCO World Heritage sites, and is considered one of the greatest Buddhist sites in the world.
The massive temple was forgotten for centuries, when it is believed that much of the population moved to eastern Java due to volcanic eruptions. But it was rediscovered in the 1800s and, today, is one of the main draws in Java.
Visit at sunrise for a torch-light climb up the temple and for the breathtaking experience of watching as the complex is bathed in sunlight. Borobudur lies near Yogyakarta, an old Javanese city known for its rich cultural and historical offerings.

KEDUNG PEDUT WATERFALL : KULON PROGO
The name of Kedung Pedut Waterfall may still sound foreign, or it may not. If I remember correctly, this area was once the location of a television show titled traveling at a private station. Its beauty is indeed able to beat several famous waterfalls in Yogyakarta. The Kedung Pedut waterfall area is located in a hilly area. So, not only this waterfall. However, there are still many waterfalls around that have not yet risen to the surface. In fact, their beauty is extraordinary you know. The uniqueness of this waterfall lies in the color of the water which has two colors, namely turquoise green and white. For those of you who have never been here at all, you may not believe the colors presented. However, the color of this waterfall is original without any editing effects at all. Pedut comes from two words, namely kedung which means puddle, and pedut which means deep. So, Kedung Pedut means a fairly deep puddle. Judging from the depth it is quite deep, about 2 to 3 meters. In once isn't it? Even artificial swimming pools rarely use this depth. Actually, there are two pools, one of which is near the main waterfall. However, it is recommended for native friends not to swim, just enjoy it, because the area is quite dangerous. In addition to these two pools, there are still several small pools that are presented here. These small pools form like a ladder. To enjoy it, you can see it from above the viewing post. Here, the beauty of the Kedung Pedut waterfall lies before your eyes. The blue color of the water is really dazzling.

BOROBUDUR TEMPLE
Borobudur Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in the world. Built in the 9th century, Borobudur Temple is now a magnet that attracts millions of tourists every year. Find interesting facts, history, and pictures of Borobudur Temple here. Visited by millions of people every year, Borobudur Temple, which UNESCO calls the grandest and largest monument and stupa complex in the world, is indeed stunning. Take a look at the pictures of Borobudur Temple in its best moments, sunrise and Vesak, below. If on weekdays we have been asked to leave Borobudur before dusk, during Vesak we have the opportunity to see Borobudur Temple at night. This is very special because Borobudur looks so majestic when it is highlighted by lights. Based on the Karangtengah inscription, it is estimated that Borobudur Temple was built by King Samaratungga of the Syailendra dynasty and only completed by his daughter, Ratu Pramudawardhani, in the 9th century. Little is known about anything else, including who the architects of the 2 million blocks (55,000 m3) of andesite rock are that interlock like a giant puzzle. A Javanese legend tells of Gunadarma who lay looking at Borobudur Temple until he fell asleep and his body turned into the Menoreh hills. Gunadarma was then considered the architect of Borobudur Temple although there are no historical inscriptions about it. Borobudur Temple contains 2672 relief panels which if arranged in a row, the length reaches 6 km. The reliefs of Borobudur Temple are divided into 4 main stories, namely: Karmawibangga, Lalitawistara, Jataka/Awadana, and Gandawyuha. In addition to telling about the life journey of the Buddha and his teachings, the reliefs of Borobudur Temple also record the progress of the Javanese people at that time. To follow the story carved in Borobudur Temple, visitors must walk clockwise from the east door. After arriving at the starting point then move up to the next level.

Ada salah satu tempat menarik yang pernah saya kunjungi di daerah Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta, iya namanya air terjun Kedung Pedut. Dari perjalanan menuju tempat tersebut sudah bagus dikelilingin oleh sawah. Saat tiba di tempat tersebut kami tidak mengira kalau itu benar lokasinya. Untuk bisa sampai di air terjun tersebut butuh perjungan karena harus jalan kaki sekitar 500m untuk bisa sampai lokasi tersebut. Saat tiba di lokasi sangat takjub dengan keindahannya.

The Chicken Church
Very cool and unique landmark in jogja. Chicken church recently became famous because it was one of the place where one famous Indonesian movie was shot. An unusual visit, on the top of a small hill , with Borobudur in it's sight, this church is actually a modern structure in concrete, made in 1988, and that offers prayers rooms to any religion. It's also a nice coffee shop, and a good place to relax. Be careful, it can be crowded,. It's 1 hour and half from Yogja, and if you go early enough there seems to be a nice sunset view point. It's overlooking Borobudur temple, and with a good zoom, you can have some amazing pictures! 🐔 ⛪️🌿🌟☀️ #solstice #urbanexplorer #ancientlandmark #uniquearchitecture #summervacation #hikingtrails #oldchurch #beautifulnature
