Enchanting combo of nature and culture
Java is the most populous island of Indonesia with bustling cities like metropolis Jakarta and the spiritual capital Yogyakarta, but it also boasts spectacular nature such as a large number of volcanoes. The most famous active volcano is the Bromo volcano. Get up early to see the sun rise behind the volcano, an unforgettable experience. If you are feeling adventurous you can climb Ijen volcano.
Search for the endangered Javan rhinoceros in Ujung Klon National Park, hike past hot springs in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park and marvel at Tumpak Sewu, the overwhelming site where many waterfalls converge and cascade down a horseshoe-shaped ravine.
Java's temple complexes are also very impressive. From Yogyakarta, you can visit Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world, and Prambanan, Indonesia's largest Hindu temple complex, both listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
