Java is an island of extremes, from the frenetic pace of the country’s capital of Jakarta to the luscious rice fields of the east and the remote beauty of the northern Karimunjawa Islands. Discover the cultural heart of the island at Yogyakarta, or Yogya for short, and stroll through the architectural marvel that is the walled complex of the kraton, which houses many cottage industries, markets and mosques. Journey to spectacular World-heritage Borobudur, an ancient religious site on an epic scale and board a scenic train to Mount Bromo: rise early for a wonderful panoramic sunrise.
