On this road trip across the amazing island of Java, Indonesia I ride my Honda CB500x motorbike into the city of Jogjakarta (sometimes know as Jogja - or Yogya).
But first we stop off at the UNESCO world heritage site of Borobudur, which is the largest Buddhist temple IN THE WORLD!! And it is in absolutely fabulous condition and is 1600 years old (at least).
Also near Borobudur is Bukit Remah, also known as “Chicken Church” which is an oddly shaped house of worship that resembles a chicken. But it is actually a Dove, and it’s not even a church, it’s a place where anyone can go to meditate or pray. Regardless of religion.
Then it’s onto the city of Jogjakarta which is a special region that has a Sultan who lives in a Palace. Around the palace is the Kraton which is small streets with lots of character, in this area are old building such as the water palace and lots of other hidden and secret places. It was so much fun getting lost around here. One of the highlights of Jogjakarta for sure!
Then finally onto the amazing Prambanan temple complex which is very close to Jogjakarta! This is the largest Hindu temple complex in indonesia and it also has a section which is Buddhist. This site has also been wonderfully restored after it was found in ruins. Some of the most staggering artwork and cultural site I’ve ever been to!
I loved every minute of Central Java and the special region of Jogjakarta.
Anyway, enjoy the video and please dont forget to like and subscribe to me if you haven't already. I am exploring Indonesia on a Honda CB500X motorcycle and vlogging the journey. Stay tuned.
