Yogyakarta - The Cultural Soul of Java
Step into Yogyakarta, a city where history, tradition, and warm hospitality meet.
Once a colonial Dutch stronghold, today it’s a vibrant cultural hub. Wander along Malioboro Street, bustling with local crafts and street food. Visit the Kraton, the Sultan’s Palace, to experience Javanese royal heritage. Explore the magnificent Borobudur and Prambanan temples, timeless reminders of Indonesia’s Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms.
Just outside the city, discover one of the oldest women’s empowerment projects in Indonesia. In a charming village surrounded by rice fields, women artisans design exquisite batik in a centuries-old cooperative. Together, they also run a homestay in traditional Javanese houses, with beautifully designed rooms, private bathrooms, and lush gardens. You can share dinner with your hosts, hearing stories about village life while tasting authentic home cooking. Stroll or cycle through the rice paddies, visit royal burial hills, and immerse yourself in a community where tradition thrives.
We proudly collaborate with local tour guides, community experts, and Gadjah Mada University to ensure your visit supports and uplifts the people who make this region special.
From the green hills known as the "Nepal of Java" to the southern beaches, we are ready to welcome you to an unforgettable Yogyakarta experience.
