Volcanoes of East Java
Explore the World Heritage Site of Borobudur Temple & trek through the striking landscapes of East Java where rugged volcanoes soar above the surrounding jungle. Java is an island of forested volcanoes rising between the Indian Ocean and the Java Sea. This adventure reveals both its beauty and depth, from the serene grandeur of Borobudur Temple, the world’s largest Buddhist monument, to the misty peaks of Mount Arjuna and Mount Bromo.
Begin in Yogyakarta, Java’s cultural capital, where royal palaces and artist workshops preserve centuries of Javanese tradition. Here, explore Borobudur, a UNESCO World Heritage site built in the 9th century. Carved from volcanic stone, its nine terraces are designed to represent the path to enlightenment.

From here, spend three days trekking through mountain forests of pine, acacia and casuarina, and farmland where villagers cultivate vegetables, potatoes and corn on the fertile slopes. Climb the twin volcanoes of Mount Arjuna (3,339m/10,955 ft) and Mount Welirang (3,185m/10,449 ft) on consecutive days, with nights spent camping beneath the stars.
Continue to Lawang, with it's tea filled hillsides, before your final hike up Mount Penanjaken (2,770m/9,088 ft), to take in the glorious vistas of Mount Bromo and the surrounding volcanoes at sunrise. Concluding in Denpasar, you can easily extend your time to relax in tropical Bali.
