🌅"The stone tower points to the sky, and the epic will be engraved for thousands of years."

#SeptemberDestinations2025 Located in the eastern suburbs of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Prambanan is Southeast Asia's most magnificent Hindu temple complex. Built in the 9th century, it is now a World Heritage Site. The complex is best represented by its three towering main temples: the Shiva Temple, the Vishnu Temple, and the Brahma Temple, representing the three main Hindu deities. The Shiva Temple stands a majestic 47 meters tall. The temple walls are decorated with vivid carvings depicting stories from the Indian epic Ramayana. During the day, admire the magnificent carvings, while at dusk, capture the stunning sunset shimmering over the towering spires. At night, enjoy the "Ramayana Dance Drama" near the complex, recreating the epic legend through music and dance. This fusion of religion and art adds an unforgettable experience to your visit. ⸻ Guidelines • Location: Approximately 17 kilometers east of Yogyakarta, Indonesia • Transportation: • Take TransJogja bus line 1A to Prambanan station • Alternatively, charter a bus or join a local tour group for a more convenient and time-saving experience • Opening hours: 6:00 AM–5:00 PM • Recommended activities: • Visit the three major temples and the rock carvings • Photograph sunset silhouettes • Watch the Ramayana dance performance at night (tickets must be booked in advance) • Tips: • Wear comfortable shoes, as the temple grounds are large and require walking. • Wear sunscreen and stay hydrated, as the weather can be hot during the day.
