I'm going to yogya at the end of next month.

Assuming i stay at malioboro street, how far is it from Prambanan and Borobudur?

Also, if i were able to go to one place only, is it better to go to Solo or Dieng Plateau?

Thanks!

See Dieng Plateau photo http://www.fotopedia.com/wiki/Dieng_Plateau, maybe it helps to decide where to go.

Very nice photos. biggrin.gif I think most probably i'll choose Dieng Plateau coz Solo seems abit too boring and normal. I like sceneries.

Does it require any extensive climbing by foot or most scenic places are accessible by car?

rp100K, Just got back from jogja this morning...Not my cheapest back[packing due to lack of research & disregards / sturborn & dunwan to book car earlier from yogyes  cry.gif

Also itineraries got mess by my agent telling me possible of doing Borobudor-Prambanan & Splo (Sukuh & Chetto) within 1 day..charged me Rp550K for that 3 locations but ended up only managed Borobudor & Prambanan bcos I visited almost all the temples surrounding borobudor & Prambanan!!  cry.gif

Visted the followings:

Day1 (1/2 day) - Kraton, Benteng Belanda, Pulau Cemeti ruin, Taman Sari, Merapi mountain (ruin of local houses), parantitis beach ( Rp300K)

Day2: Dieng Plateau - 3.5hrs each way..super long journey. Stop at the destroyed lava mud flow b4 Muntilan town 9A MUST now - Very nice view of Merapi & Sumbing volcanoes)

Day3: Borobudor-Prambanan (Almost all the temples - Pawon, Mengdut, Ptrambanan, Lombonh, Bruhbah, Sewu, Plaosan, Ratu Boko..

Day4: Shoppings at Marioboro (actually- Chinatown of jogja or pancinang) & also short trip to the largest Ambri... Mall (Carrefour)

so basically if i want my driver to be a guide as well, i have to pay for all his entrance tickets... correct?

also, your estimate for the entrance tickets + illegal tolls include the fees for mandatory temple guides?
