Any good unique must try Indonesia food in jogja?

Nasi gudeg
Also can try cheap pecal lele at sambel layah

i cant book any accomodation in dieng ... i believe it is because most are home stay and not partner with agoda ect ...

will it be safe to book when i in jogya town ?

anyone experience before ? for 1 night stay in dieng

When you going? Unless it's during a major holiday, no need to prebook cos most visitors to dieng come for daytrip only. Only some opt to stay a night. If you arrive just before check-out time, no problem if you walk in.

For further reference, you can refer to day 5 & 6 of this iti: http://gaeria84.blogspot.my/2015/07/java-i...-days.html#day5

is it enough 2 days stay at jogja?

Hi..nice blog!!

Do u or anyone familiar with the Merapi Lava Tour(those wit jeep wan)?
Lets say enter borobudur @ 6am, then proceed Merapi tour, then go Prambanan (watch Ramayana after).

Is this possible in one day?
Should go for sunrise package (expensive.dono worth it o not) in case not possible?

Hi, may i ask, is it recommended to rent motorcycle to travel around in yogyakarta?

It's doable, but it'll be tiring. And Expensive. Morning in borobudur, skip mendut go to merapi, afternoon go to prambanan. Ask the tour agents there, they will have a better idea. Or if you want to DIY, rent vehicle and go

Sunrise more expensive than morning entry for borobudur, and sunrise not guaranteed.

Yes, if you good with the motorcycle, definitely recommended

We got two free days actually and want to see these three places. We plan rent car or hire driver so we thought can save a bit if go in one day because renting one day only Plus iinm if combine both temple tix in one day will get discount.
Then one more day jalan2 nearby no need car anymore.

Is it super tiring the borobudur and prambanan?

Hi all,

Do I need Int. driving license for driving around Jogja? Can I get away with Malaysia driving license?

Honestly, 1-2 hours sightseeing in each temple is more than enough

Yes, possible to get away if you don't look like farang
Anyways, I got IDL and I never had to use it in indo...

I see..thanks for the tips!

ASEAN countries signed an agreement back in 1985 on the "recognition of domestic driving licenses issued by ASEAN countries".

So holders of M'sian driving license don't need an IDL to drive in Indonesia.

Thanks for the replies. Cheers
