Jogja Borobudur Tour & Travel · Yogyakarta
Four fixed plans under one listing, from a 5-hour sunrise on the temple to an 11-hour day with Setumbu Hill, the climb and Prambanan. Climb-up access comes with every plan; the temple entry fees are paid on the day.
Same company as the hill-or-temple tour, with a different deal. Here you choose from four set plans: 5 hours with sunrise inside Borobudur; 8 hours with sunrise on Setumbu Hill and the climb; 10 hours with the temple sunrise and Prambanan; 11 hours with Setumbu, the climb and Prambanan. The name promises the climb, and the listing backs it up: climb-up access is included on all four.
The catch is the entry fees. The listing says the temple fees are paid separately on the day, and the amount depends on your plan. The temple-sunrise plans use the official sunrise slot, which costs roughly twice a regular climbing ticket, so budget for it. If you'd rather pay once and forget it, the hill-or-temple tour includes entry.
Prambanan is the reason to pick the long plans. The listing describes it as a 10th-century Hindu compound with Ramayana reliefs, dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma. It's a 1.5-hour van ride from Borobudur, and a guide takes you round for about two hours. The 11-hour day is long, but it's both of Java's great temples and a sunrise in one go.
Van from your Yogyakarta hotel, about an hour to Borobudur.
On Setumbu Hill on the 8- and 11-hour plans, or on the temple itself on the 5- and 10-hour plans.
Hill plans only: free time until the climbing session opens.
A local guide takes you through the galleries to the stupas at the top.
Long plans: about 1.5 hours in the van, then a guided visit of about two hours.
Back at your hotel; the 5-hour plan has you home by mid-morning.
