The actual PDF cover

A proper guide, not a one-page checklist.

The PDF is 23 A4 pages. It tells you what to book first, how to group the days and what each leg costs.

  • A day-by-day route from Yogyakarta
  • Borobudur, Prambanan, Jomblang Cave and Solo
  • Food, transport and entry prices in IDR + USD
  • Five expensive mistakes and what to do instead

Jomblang Cave + Prambanan

  1. Morning: 60m rope descent into Jomblang Cave — book 3+ days ahead (500k IDR / ~$32).
  2. Afternoon: Prambanan at golden hour, 47m towers, crowds thin after 4pm.
  3. Evening: dinner at Prawirotaman quarter from 30k IDR.
  • You have 4–5 days around Yogyakarta and don't want to lose one to logistics.
  • You want the route before you start booking tours.
  • You check prices in IDR, not phrases like 'budget-friendly'.
  • You'd rather take the 16k IDR train to Solo than buy a packaged day trip.

I've made five trips to Indonesia and travelled Java twice, in 2019 and 2025. This guide comes from the routes, tickets and notes I kept. I don't use affiliate links or sponsored stays, so nothing inside is trying to sell you a hotel. More about me: the about page.
