We went there by bus~ There's a bus station located at Jln Malioboro~
Take the 1A TransJogja Bus where it will take you straight to the Prambanan bus station~


When we reach the Prambanan bus station, we take the beca to the temple~
If you're planning on walking there, its quite a distance but a bit time consuming~

There's 2 entrance ticket area - 1 for the local and 1 for the tourist~
This is the entrance ticket hall for the tourist~
There's washroom inside, fully air conditioned, free drink, television and other~


The ticket price~ USD13 per pax~


Here's some pic of Prambanan Temple~

DAY5~

Today will be a whole day trip at Solo~
Places to visit will be Candi Sukuh, Candi Ceto and Tawangmangu Waterfall~
Before starting our journey, here's our breakfast~


The journey to Solo will be a long one just like the Dieng Plateau trip~
Plus we will going up and down the mountain and the view is superb~
Our first stop is Candi Sukuh~ My driver called it the "Erotic Temple"~
The air is cooling and refreshing~


U can also climb up the temple~
But becareful of the narrow steps~


View from the temple top~


After spending our time there, we head off to the next stop - Candi Ceto~
The surrounding around Candi Ceto~


We have to walk up in order to reach the candi~




Saw a monk came out from this wooden hut~ Must be praying or meditating inside~




After visiting both candi, we went for lunch~

I am going to there from 25th -30th April mean 6 days 5 nights.

Is it posibble to stay at town for all nights OR need to stay at few those towns that you suggested of your itternary.

thanks

Yeah luckily i managed to book under the previous rate yeahhhh...next week fly to yogja lu.. hopefully can visit the top of borobudur

If you're planning to visit Borobuddur for the sunrise trip, its advisable to stay a night in Manohara hotel~
If u stay at Malioboro street, the journey to Borobuddur is around 45minute to an hour~
then u have to wake up very early for the sunrise trip but i still not sure whether the Borobuddur sunrise trip is applicable for outside guest~

If u are planning to Dieng Plateau, u can plan a day trip there and then back to Malioboro street~
Same goes to the day trip to Solo~

However for the Kaliurang Mount Merapi sunrise trekking trip advisable to stay there coz u need to wake up early~
Unless you're not planning to trek there, then u can plan a day trip to Kaliurang, and/or Kaliadem~

So in other word, if you're not planning any sunrise trip its possible to stay at the town for all nights~

wish u have a safe and enjoyable trip~
i'm missing Jogja dy~

Which is more worth to go ?? Kaliurang or Kaliadem ??? ... Mount Terapi need to trekking very far ? little bit lazy

Hmmm~ Kaliurang is a small town nearby Mount Merapi~
There's a national park there and foods stall there~




Trekking a bit far but turun bukit faster~
If u dont want to trek, u can just talk a walk around the park and makan makan a bit~

However, Kaliadem is a destroyed village caused by the previous volcano eruption~
If u went there at the right timing with no cloud at the sky, u can the the mount merapi at wide angle~

The day we went there have big cloud covering Mount Merapi~

Standard Twin 580rb
Standard Double 540rb
Standard Triple 755rb

Our driver brought us here to eat~

Too bad outside seat full so we seat inside~

Next stop - Tawangmangu Waterfall~

Any driver to recommend ? we got 6 people

u can check here~
try nego with them about the price~
pm u the price and detail of my previous driver rate~

Day5 - Continued~

After having our lunch, we head off to our final destination - Tawangmangu Waterfall~
When we reached there, our driver told us that there will be a "few" steps down the stairs to reach the waterfall~
There will be a total of 1,250 steps to achieve for back and forth~
So there will be a bit of "jungle trekking" while you can enjoy the green scenery~






Finally after a "few" walks down the stairs, we have reached the waterfall~




There's also a swimming pool for the kids to play but of course have to pay for it~


After enjoying the green scenery, and the waterfall its time to climb the stairs back up to see our driver~
Our effort of climbing the stairs are recognized by the board~


Day is getting dark and its dinner time~
Dine at a restaurant~ Not many people that time~ Maybe pass the local dinner time~


These is what we had most of the time in Jogja - Bakso and Ayam Goreng haha~




After dinner we head back to 1001 Malam, Malioboro street~
Thats the last day the driver served us and we gave him some tips for his service~
Another day end filled with adventure and tiring leg haha~
