What's inside
Specifics, not inspiration. Route, prices and times tested on the ground.
- 01
Before you go
Visa, SIM card, money and the airport transfer. No first-day surprises.
- 02
The 5-day route
Borobudur at sunrise, Jomblang, Prambanan, Solo — hour by hour, with Grab and ticket prices.
- 03
What to eat in Yogya
Nasi goreng for ~$1.50, where on Malioboro not to overpay, what to try.
- 04
What it costs
Daily budget in three styles, IDR + USD. Jomblang 500k IDR — the single biggest spend.
- 05
5 mistakes that cost you
Jomblang runs one session a day, 80-person cap. That trap and four others, avoided.
- 06
What's next
East Java: Bromo at sunrise and Ijen's blue fire. Where to head after Yogyakarta.
Sample — Day 1
Borobudur at sunrise, then Yogyakarta
- 6:30 — Grab to Borobudur, 40 min, 80–120k IDR (~$5–8).
- 8:00 — go in before the crowds: 2,672 reliefs, 504 Buddhas, volcano views.
- 14:00 — Kraton, still home to the Sultan's family.
- 18:30 — Malioboro at night; eat in the side lanes, not the storefronts.
Who it's for
- First time on Java and you want a ready plan, not 20 tabs of blogs from 2019.
- You prefer specifics — times, prices, names — over a mood board.
- Travelling solo or as a couple, targeting ~$185 for five days on the ground — and you want to know where every dollar goes before you land.
Who's behind it
followthewiatr is me, Klaudia. I test the route, prices and times on the ground — I don't copy them off the web. The photos inside are mine.
