Cycling to Prambanan
The terrain between Yogyakarta and the ancient temple complex is relatively flat, and thus ideal for tackling by bike (rather than getting stuck in suburban traffic!). We recommend heading out in the late afternoon as heat of the day subsides. Starting from Sambisari temple, the trail leads along tarmac paths through villages and through fields, giving a glimpse of the daily life of local farmers. You will are welcome to stop and learn how they still cultivate and irrigate the land in the traditional way, and if travelling in season we you may well see locals busy planting, tending and harvesting - all by hand. The route will also take in Boko temple - visible amongst the green cluster of coconut trees high on a hill. A typical ride will take around 2.5 hours, at which point you will reach the Hindu temple of Prambanan. After exploring the temples you will be transferred back to the city by private car.
