Yogyakarta: A Journey Through Royal Heritage and Cultural Arts
Embark on an unforgettable exploration into the heart of Javanese civilisation, where history and creativity intertwine seamlessly. This journey takes you through the hallowed halls of the Sultan Palace (Kraton), the living centre of Javanese power and tradition that remains meticulously preserved to this day.

After that, We will also visit Silver Workshop in the historic district of Kotagede. Witness first-hand the incredible precision of master silversmiths as they forge intricate filigree jewellery by hand. The journey concludes at a Tamansari Watercastle in the afternoon to avoiding the heat for better time visit and experiences.
