Java: Volcanoes, Vibes & Vibrant Nights

• Trip code: 429X054
• Dauer: 12
• Stil: 18-to-Thirtysomethings

This is Java: backpacker energy, built-in crew. This trip kicks off in laid-back Bandung, where tea plantations, hot springs, and hidden waterfalls steal the show. Then lace up for the Ancestor Trail hike straight up Mt. Bromo for a sunrise that actually lives up to the hype. Swap hiking boots for dancing shoes and party the night away in Kuta. Indonesia's calling, you coming?

There's more to discover in Yogyakarta today! See some Javanese temples, bike to rice paddies on the outskirts of the city, try street food like gudeg (curry made from unripe jackfruit), or soak in the last rays of sun at the stunning Buddhist Borobudur temple complex — and make sure you don't forget your camera

Day 6 Yogyakarta

Another free day in Yogyakarta means another day to connect with it's perfect blend of rich heritage and vibrant street life. Spend today seeing whats left on your "Yogyakarta bucket list."
