Exploring Central Java A Hidden Gem in the Bali Tour Package 🌟

When planning a trip to Indonesia, Bali often steals the spotlight. But if you're looking to dive deeper into the heart of Javanese culture and explore stunning attractions beyond the beaches, Central Java is the perfect addition to the Bali tour package.

🌸 Yogyakarta The Cultural Soul of Java

Yogyakarta, or Jogja, is the beating heart of Central Java's rich cultural heritage. From the regal Sultan's Palace (Kraton) to the vibrant arts scene, Jogja offers a unique blend of tradition and creativity. Wander through the bustling streets of Malioboro, where you can shop for handcrafted batik and enjoy traditional performances. Adding Jogja to your Bali tour package? Absolutely worth it.

🕌 Borobudur: The Majestic Buddhist Monument

Imagine standing before the world’s largest Buddhist temple as the first rays of the sun touch its ancient stone carvings. Borobudur, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is not just a sight to behold—it's an experience that transports you back to the 9th century. Pairing this spiritual journey with the serene beaches of Bali creates the ultimate Indonesian itinerary.

🌋 Mount Merapi: The Thrill of Adventure

If you're an adventure seeker, Mount Merapi should be on your list. This active volcano offers thrilling treks with breathtaking views. Picture yourself watching the sunrise from the summit, surrounded by clouds and a sense of awe. Want to mix in some adventure with your Bali relaxation? Mount Merapi is calling.

🏛️ Prambanan: A Masterpiece of Hindu Architecture

Prambanan is another UNESCO-listed wonder, known for its towering spires and intricate reliefs. This Hindu temple complex is dedicated to the Trimurti gods—Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva—and offers a fascinating look into Indonesia's ancient history. Including Prambanan in your Bali tour package is like stepping into a different world.

🌿 Dieng Plateau: A Mystical Highland Retreat

Escape to the cool highlands of the Dieng Plateau, where ancient temples, volcanic craters, and lush landscapes await. The misty atmosphere and tranquil environment make it a perfect retreat from the tropical heat. The Dieng Plateau is an off-the-beaten-path destination that adds a mystical touch to your Bali tour experience.

🌊 Karimunjawa Islands: Paradise Found

For those who can't get enough of island life, the Karimunjawa Islands are a dream come true. These pristine islands, with their white sandy beaches and vibrant coral reefs, offer a quieter alternative to Bali's bustling shores. Include Karimunjawa in the Bali tour package for a slice of paradise that’s truly off the radar.

Why Choose Central Java as Part of Your Bali Tour Package?

Central Java offers a rich tapestry of culture, history, and natural beauty that perfectly complements the more well-known attractions of Bali. By exploring both regions, you’ll experience the full spectrum of Indonesia's charm—making your trip truly unforgettable.

Volcano trip!

averill_lowell The Dieng Plateau is a huge volcanic complex near the pleasant town of Wonosobo. The highest mountain in the Dieng area is called Mount Prau. Mt. Prau is long and quite flat on the top (2.565msl). We can almost see all top mountains in Central Java from this level, like Mt. Sumbing, Mt. Sindoro, Mt. Slamet, Mt. Merapi, Mt. Merbabu and many more.

Day 13: On excitement

There have been many excitements in my lifetime. They range from (as one of my friends think of me) superficial things to perhaps philosophical ones. Here we go.

1. Entering the bookstore

While one of my earliest excitement going to the bookstore was in Gramedia Sudirman, Yogyakarta, there is no less joy when I have to spend money in a bookstore. I remembered my aunt bought me an illustrative book of volcanoes while my cousin got the earthquake one, and we ate Dunkin’ Donuts afterwards. There was also a new bookstore opening, called Social Agency Bookstore, when upon its opening, they have many discounts, particularly on manga. I prefer Gramedia to Gunung Agung, as I think the latter’s collection is less. But the favourite retail bookstore in Indonesia has to be Togamas. Not only does it give you discounts, they also provide free plastic cover for the books you’ve just bought. I developed admiration for mas mbak penyampul since they work so fast and neatly. I tried to cover my books several times but they don’t come as perfect as ones done by mas mbak Togamas.

During my undergrad, I might have not immersed myself with books. I can only remember reading Murakami’s Norwegian Woods and 1Q84 (which is arguably one of the best romantic novels ever). And, of course, Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google. These books might motivate me to read books again after high school, and sure, I tried several Goodreads Challenges every year.

In the UK, I have Waterstones just in the corner of my campus. It is a four-storey building. All floors are carpeted so you will hear people trying not to stomp and walk quietly. Books related to my field are located on the third floor, where there is no lift. But there is a small spot when you could read there and even work on assignments. It is a quiet corner where you can see people taking a smoke outside the Faculty of Engineering. There is also a cafe with delicious cinnamon rolls on the first floor.

Second bookstore that captivates me is Cambridge University Press Bookshop. I was roaming on the streets when it started raining and accidentally I was just on the outside of this gem. The building is three-storey, and it is quite small for what is one of the prominent press bookshops in the world. It is also no wonder to not see a rack dedicated to urban planning, though surely it contains the geography section.

I was definitely left in awe when I visited Blackwell’s in Oxford. Another friend told me that I should go there since the collection is humongous. And when finally I went there, I thought it’s the biggest bookshop that I ever visited and it contains a specific floor for social science. The Oxford University Press Bookshop is even smaller than that of Cambridge, and I remember I was questioning how come this university does not have what I am looking for. Yet in Blackwell’s, even two bookshelves are dedicated to urban planning and Southeast Asia. I also found Pisani’s Indonesia Etc., along with workpieces of Sir Batty. I spent almost £120 along with a tote bag that shouts for “Yes, I’ve been to Oxford but no I’m not a student at Oxford Uni”. Maria and I spent a solid 2.5 hours wandering in silence looking for what we like; she even spent £200 on five books which cover all the possible materials for her dissertation. All hails Blackwell’s.

2. Going places with close friends

The memory started in 2014, when my undergrad friends went to my hometown and tried Dieng for the first time. It was in January, so we didn’t catch the sunrise at Sikunir. Though Wonosobo has a scenic view, it’s not much to do around here except eating and talking. 

I also consider the trip going back to Bandung with Bohokism after failing to say goodbye to Mira before she embarked for Stuttgart back in 2017. We had a really deep conversation where I finally did acknowledge my darkest times. It was also a start of something great because thanks to them, I also got motivated to be where I am today.

In the UK, I’m blessed to be surrounded by kind people. The one of trip memories started with a Bristol-Bath trip during the reading week in the first term. I happened to get acquainted with Hana and Aska, with Maria and Gineng also joined in. I remember the Cornish pasty that was so good I brought one to go. We wandered around Bristol and noticed the unicorn lightning rod on top of a building, and bought some Indomie and eggs to eat at our oh-so-comfy AirBnB. Afterwards we strolled on the dock and enjoyed the night breeze. The following day we went to an all-you-can-eat restaurant that gives a student discount so we could eat only for £10. We also had a photo session down in Bath Spa, as Hana is good with her camera. I also remember the bus going back to London when we sat by ourselves and did some Netflix and reading (clearly not me).

The next trip would be the Scotland trip. Some said that enjoying the highlands is better in winter (as in going to Morocco), and indeed it was true. We arrived in Edinburgh and climbed the hills and stopped by the Department of Theology of Edinburgh University and realised that every university in London doesn’t have a similar ambience. We also checked in to every Christmas market or Winter Wonderland in every city we’ve been to, as Marwa really loves mulled wine. Our mandatory photo was taken at a photobooth but we just didn’t print it.

We then proceeded to Glasgow and headed to the highlands. Like whoa. I have been seeing the mountainous scenery as I always live in the highlands but that doesn’t compare to what Scotsman see everyday. I also lived my childhood dream as finally I saw the mighty Loch Ness. It’s a sad thing that I couldn’t go to Isle of Skye, but that's alright since I remember having a really deep talk with Agita, Marwa, and Punyu at a hostel near Dundee city square. I couldn’t find Indomie so I had to eat local instant noodles which tasted horrible. We basically just read the Book of Questions and yeah I think that is what is making us closer afterwards. 

There were a lot of trips in between, but I have to emphasise my Cornwall trip with Albert, Maria, and Hana in September 2019. We were dying to enjoy the beach in the southwestern part of England. We rented a car with no insurance, where only Hana and Maria were able to drive the car smoothly. We packed lots of snacks and cooked in our small but comfy AirBnB. We went to St. Ives and enjoyed the beach and the drizzle. And the famous fish and chips. I always asked to stop for a chocolate twist and Maria and Hana would just sighed. Albert is always that curious guy who would end up falling but he didn’t. We also hung out at a beach bar where it was a family night, where the three of us had cider or beer while I stuck on soda and lime. We cooked every time and had only all-you-can-eat when we stopped by Portsmouth on the way back to London. We realised that we were so lavish that during the 3 days trip we spent almost 200 quids each.

In the end, I agree that it’s not about the destinations as they will be just them. It’s always about the journey, the talk, the snack, the “e e awas awas!”, the “pake duit lo dulu dong”, and the memories, particularly with these chaps.

3. Getting called upon the stage

One thing I just realised that I will have to lower my expectations if I want to get an award or something alike. I remember seeing my seniors getting called and put in front of all students and their parents during the national exam results in junior high. Ten students were called along with their parents. I thought, at that time, like whoa they are smart. In high schools, only the top three students from natural science and social science class got called to the stage. Along with opening the result of SNMPTN and Chevening. I was thinking that I’d just be having a real good time along with my friends during the graduation when suddenly I heard my test number getting declared. I remembered that I couldn’t believe that fact and saw Eriska just congratulate me. I thought I was done after delivering a speech as I was an ex-OSIS guy, but I have to say that that day was quite specially wrapped.

Another case is when I went to Shah Alam by myself, presenting the research findings back in November 2017. I was the only Indonesian presenter there. The faculty members of the university holding the conference said that they knew some of my lecturers. As the conference was about research methods, I wondered why several presenters didn’t emphasise the novelty of their methods. But among six key tracks of the conference, I was awarded The Best Paper in Urban Planning and Development track, where I also just couldn’t believe it yet I couldn’t contain my excitement of getting my work noticed. I remember Maria putting it simply “Gue tau lo pengen karya lo yang diliat orang, bukan nama lo. Like let your works speak for yourself”. And yes, she was obviously right.

In a few weeks, when Indonesia’s president Joko Widodo is inaugurated for a second five-year term, Samsul Muhdi will be harvesting his potato crop. Samsul belongs to a small community of Javanese farmers living at 2000 meters above sea level on the Dieng Plateau, a series of ancient volcano craters with the perfect climate for growing subtropical-highland vegetables such as cabbage, tobacco and potatoes. “I like my president, but the harvest price is down,” Samsul says, peering at misty land that has been in his family for three generations. #indonesia #Dieng #Java #Jokowidodo #reconsider#farmworkers#changeyourmind#workersunite#photography#humanstories#history#travel#streetphotography#photooftheday#makeportraits#street#photographer#travelphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/B2F7FqlBYp3/?igshid=47e42sect1b4
