This was a beautiful tour except for the fact that it rained the whole time. The temples were beautiful, our guides friendly and attentive, and it was just too bad that it tipped it down the whole time and that put a dampener on the experience.

This is undoubtedly the best experience I had in Indonesia... I reached while it was pitch dark and the moon was just rising above the stupa... that view was so mesmerising that I was happy even if I don’t see any sunrise due to clouds... but I was lucky and the clouds were just enough to make it a perfect sunrise... the foggy morning also added the charm in the view... it was quite and a beautiful morning with less people around... and not to mention that the stupa made in speechless once I explored it while returning from the top to the bottom of it... I then finished the exploration since the general public admission started and then there was a lot of crowd... I was glad to make a sunrise plan to avoid the crowd and to enjoy moments of peace! PS. The breakfast at Manohara restaurant is included in the entry ticket and was surely not to be missed ????
