Giorno 2 — Yogyakarta → Prambanan → Borobudur → Yogyakarta
Breakfast. Breakfast at the hotel. Morning dedicated to the visit of the city of Yogyakarta. Visit the Sultan’s Palace, Kraton (closed on Mondays), a splendid example of traditional Javanese court architecture. Continue with a visit to the Prambanan Temple (main area closed on Mondays), a Hindu temple considered the most elegant temple in Java. Lunch at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, visit the Buddhist Temple of Borobudur** (closed on Mondays), located about 40 km from Yogyakarta. The massive stone stupa of Borobudur is one of the greatest ancient architectural monuments linked to the Mahayana tradition. Built between 750 and 850 AD, Borobudur predates Cambodia’s Angkor Wat by three centuries. Buried under volcanic ash and tropical vegetation, it was rediscovered only in 1815. It has recently been completely restored through an international effort under the auspices of UNESCO. Borobudur is truly a Mandala, a map of the cosmic universe and the human mind: a point of integration, union, and connection; and according to Buddhist philosophy, by making the pilgrimage upward, we will reach the precious “Nirvana.” Return to the hotel. Dinner at leisure and overnight stay in Yogyakarta.
Borobudur Note: access to the top of the temple is included; however, entry is subject to limited availability and may be denied at any time without prior notice or refund. I will return to the hotel in the late afternoon. Dinner free.

Walking tour in the Kota Gede neighborhood where we will also visit a local house where a family handcrafts typical local sweets. We continue with a visit to the Prambanan temple, an Hindu temple considered the most elegant temple in Java. Lunch at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, we enter a real house of a local craftsman, an authentic master who creates handmade Javanese masks used in traditional performances. With the master craftsman, we will learn the secrets of this centuries-old art. I will return to the hotel in the late afternoon. Dinner free.

Giorno 4 — Yogyakarta → Bali Beaches → SeminYak
Breakfast. Airport transfer. Flight to Bali. Welcome upon arrival and transfer to Seminyak. The rest of the day available. Dinner free.
Auto
Giorno 5 — SeminYak → Lovina
Breakfast. Departure to Lovina. Beginning of visits. Tanah Lot, on the west coast of Bali, is probably the most famous and photographed temple on the island, and it is dedicated to the deity of the sea. Tanah Lot means land (Tanah) and sea (Lot), a name that is more than appropriate considering its spectacular location on top of an imposing rock overlooking the sea. The myths and legends associated with this sacred place are as fascinating as the temple itself. After the holy priest Danghyang Nirarta spent a night there, the population of Bali decided to build the temple in this location. It is said that there used to be a bridge connecting the temple to the mainland that was destroyed by the rough sea. Another interesting curiosity is that beneath Tanah Lot there is a cave with a magical spring. It is curious how the water from the spring is fresh despite the temple being surrounded by the salty water of the ocean. The journey continues towards Jatiluwih, where you can admire the beautiful terraced rice fields typical of the island's interior. Lunch at a restaurant. In the afternoon, the visit is completed. Ulun Danu Bratan is the most important Shivaite temple in Bali. It is located in the village of Bedugul on Lake Bratan, inside the caldera of an extinct volcano and at an altitude of about 1200 meters above sea level. The temple is dedicated to the water goddess Dewi Danu and, for this reason, it is located on the most important water reserve in the entire area. The beauty and great charm of this sacred place are two of the reasons why it is a must-visit destination in Bali. Lake Bratan is the water reserve that feeds the complex irrigation system of all the rice fields in the area; this system is called subak and, since 2012, it has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Continue to Lovina. Stop at Munduk per vedere le cascate nel mezzo della foresta tropicale. Visit the sacred hot springs of Air Panas Banjar located in the middle of the jungle in a beautiful tropical garden. The locals come here to enjoy a bath in the hot and sulphurous water. Upon arrival, accommodation in a hotel will be arranged. Dinner free.
Auto
Giorno 6 — Lovina → Candidasa
Breakfast. From Lovina, on the northern coast, today’s journey continues towards the southeastern coast. The first stop is the traditional market of Buleleng, rich in vegetables, fruits, and spices. Afterwards, continue to the temples of Pura Beji and Pura Meduwe Karang, dedicated to the gods who protect the rice plantations and the countryside from the dryness of the dry season. Proceeding southward into the mountainous region, arrival at the village of Kintamani (1,300 meters above sea level), where you can admire spectacular views of Mount Batur and the lake of the same name below. Lunch at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, visit Bali’s largest and most sacred temple complex, the Mother Temple of Besakih. Dating back to the 11th century, the temple is located at an altitude of 1,000 meters on the slopes of the majestic Mount Agung (3,142 meters). The island’s most important religious ceremonies are always held at Besakih and may sometimes last for several days, attracting thousands of pilgrims from across Bali. On the way to Candidasa, pass through Putung, an area offering beautiful panoramic views. I will arrive at the hotel in the late afternoon. Dinner free.
Auto
Giorno 7 — Candidasa → Ubud
Breakfast. This morning, departure from Candidasa to visit the bat cave temple of Goa Lawah. This small and distinctive temple is built around a deep cave inhabited by thousands of bats. Literally, Goa Lawah means “bat cave.” Continue to a beach to observe the traditional salt-making process. Afterwards, take a short walk in Tebola with views over the rice fields, and proceed to Rendang to admire beautiful natural landscapes. Lunch at a local restaurant. Continue eastward to the sacred springs of Tampaksiring, where at the “Tirta Empul” temple, dating back to the year 1000, you can experience an unmissable ritual by bathing in the holy springs as a form of purification.
Visit included up to 31/10/2026: Heading south, arrival in Ubud, where you will visit the famous Monkey Forest. This site is rich in beautiful tropical vegetation, with well-maintained paved paths, and is home to more than 340 long-tailed macaques. I will arrive at the hotel in the late afternoon. Dinner free.
Giorno 8 — Ubud
Breakfast. In the morning, departure north of Ubud to visit a Balinese village, an unmissable opportunity to connect with the local community. You will visit a local school (closed on Sundays and public holidays) and a traditional house to learn about its architecture and the aspects of daily Balinese life.
