Village life around the ancient monument, how social life related to the past history
Begin your day at the breathtaking Borobudur Temple, where ancient Buddhist art and architecture tell stories of enlightenment and spiritual wisdom. After soaking in the monumental beauty and history,
head to Candirejo Village for a refreshing contrast—here, peaceful rural life unfolds with its simple rhythms and rich traditions. Explore the village’s scenic landscape by bicycle or traditional horse cart, enjoying the lush environment and warm local hospitality. In Candirejo, immerse yourself in Javanese culture with hands-on experiences: listen to live gamelan music, savor traditional local drinks and snacks, and visit small home industries where villagers craft everyday essentials. This dual-experience tour not only reveals the iconic temple’s spiritual legacy but also offers a genuine glimpse into the everyday lives and crafts of the local community. If your schedule allows, take a break at one of the nearby local restaurants for lunch between visits, making the day even more enjoyable. The program includes English-speaking local guides and flexible timing tailored to your preferred itinerary
