I'm an American living in Solo Indonesia 🇮🇩and have been to Borobudor and Prambanan twice. Love Indonesia its our paradise
Indonesia is so wonderfully diverse and beautiful and we had no idea, until we got here!
@Edward Schieler I also live in solo
terimakasih maturnuwun
@@Nobody-fb5gu it's paradise
What re u doing in solo...i originaly from solo
I was just in Borobudur last February 2020 literally right before the world lockdown. I started my adventure in Jakarta, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Labuanbajo Komodo, Lombok and Bali. Thank you for bringing back lots of memories. I highly suggest Labuanbajo next with a tour to the Komodo islands and one of the only pink sand beaches in world near Padar island.
Amazing! We can't wait to come back and explore the country further :)
There's another pink beach in Lombok island.
Don't forget raja ampat islands
Oh yeah, i have list vacation in Indonesia besides Bali, Yogyakarta, Labuan bajo. You please go to lake toba, Derawan Island, Sumba Island and Wakatobi.
Love this! The first thing I ever learned about Indonesia was not Bali, but actually the Buddhist temple in an art history class. I've always wanted to see it!
that's amazing, such a lasting impression, I'm sure :)
Prambanan is not buddhist it us Hindu trinity temple
NAIVE
I guess this is Hindu temple
You narrated it beautifully with thoughtful diction, I’m sorry for what happened it was indeed a bummer, as Indonesian myself I thanked you guys for showing that our country is not only Bali ❤️
thank you for the kind words :) we can't wait to come back and stay a bit longer in Indonesia
I have wanted to see Jogjakarta ever since reading the Buru Quartet, 4 novels by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. Highly recommended reading! Happy Travels
Jogja is one of best tourist destinations in Indonesia. its where javanese culture meets the dynamism of young people all from across Indonesia. you can also find beautiful beaches there.
thank you for the recommendation!!
Thank you for reading our literary masterpiece
I have been up Borobudur and Prambanan 4 times. I prefer the Prambanan as it is less crowded and the small candis to the north are very cool.
I recommend travel throughout Java by train, it is very efficient and you see so much.
Also check out Jakarta - many people miss it but definitely worth it.
Just love Jakarta. It is fun to be there. food. traffic and night life
we were sad to miss Jakarta this time--but would love to come back and visit!!
@@LisaAndJosh Exciting place to visit August is the best month weather is cooler and more festivities/.a month long. Indonesian independence celebration thru out the city
Why do I love Indonesia? Every information I describe has data, statistics and documents that have been recorded internationally. I'm talking about 100% nature in Indonesia, not 1 city or 1 island. Let's dive deeper, then you will know the real Indonesia.
You know? Mother Nature in this country is the mastermind behind major natural disasters that can hit many countries and cause many fatalities, not just 1 or 100 times, but more than that. One Example : Tsunami 2004 (Boxing Day) start from Indonesia (Aceh Sumatera) impact 20 countries (To Africa).
When I was a teenager, at the high school level I always studied and read books about nature in a library located in Europe. I found a book that said :
>Tambora A Killer From Indonesia.
>Krakatoa The Day The World Exploded.
Both of these books tell about nature and its brutality at the same time. Not only that, in the book it is explained that the incident is located in 1 country but in different regions. Was it the only tragedy that was written by the International? No, there is a lot of history of major natural disasters in Indonesia that are written internationally.
Without many people realizing that nature in Indonesia is also very cruel, often raging, abnormal and brutal. Total natural disasters in Indonesia (8 Years Calculation) :
>Year 2022 = 1.421 (Period Jan - Jun).
>Year 2021 = 3,058
>Year 2020 = 2,925
>Year 2019 = 9,375 (Super insane).
>Year 2018 = 3,397
>Year 2017 = 2,341
>Year 2016 = 2,342
>Year 2015 = 1,682
Total natural disasters for 8 years = 26.541
I became very interested in the history recorded by the International and finally I bought a textbook on natural disasters in Indonesia written by European researchers, scientists and historians. It turned out to be much more amazing, that's when I fell in love with nature in Indonesia. This is not only about beauty but also about history which has a huge impact on many countries in the world. Nature in Indonesia is not only beautiful, but also very unique, different, diverse, strange and great. But on the other hand it is also deadly, brutal, often occurs, many casualties and is written in European history.
If you know all the volcanoes, rivers, lakes, caves, waterfalls, beaches, mountains, rice fields, forests, wastelands and others in Indonesia (Nature), the nature is very insane. For me personally, a visit to Indonesia is the most memorable for me because I have visited 51 natural tourist attractions.

Indonesia is a complete and very diverse tour package in large quantities. Even on trains, buses, airplanes, and ships, you can see different views from one country. It's really crazy, like going to another country but still in the same country. Imagine in 1 city and even then there are many tourist attractions. What about Indonesia as a whole? Millions of tourist attractions. Therefore, many people misunderstand tourism in Indonesia because it is too much and varied. Then you will find something unique and strange, at least go on 30 different trips to tourist attractions in Indonesia and I am sure you will have a much more extraordinary experience.
List of places I want to visit in 2024 in Indonesia :
1). Mature Kaladan.
2). Kikik Waterfall.
3). Haratai Loksado Waterfall.
4). Liang Tapah.

(And the remaining 109 natural attractions I have not applied, because I am still looking for information on which tourist attractions I will visit in 2024). You can check the photos of the places I mentioned on Google, the natural attractions in Indonesia are crazy.
Did you know if we look at the map of the Indonesia territory, it's like a person / Jinn who sleeps on his back.
Sumatra : Feet.
Kalimantan : Stomach.
Jawa, Bali, Nusa Tenggara : Spine.
Sulawesi : Bosom.
Maluku : Neck.
Papua : Head.
Other small islands : Acne.
Not only that, Indonesia has more than 500 volcanoes = Active, inactive and underwater.
Nature in Indonesia is really insane very different class categories, there is a saying that says :
(Indonesia is the throne Queen Mother Nature).
There is even a study that has visited 400 tourist attractions in Indonesia and it is only 10% for him. From Sabang Sumatera to Merauke Papua (in 1 country) is expensive and long distance. It costs the same as you flying from Egypt to Dubai or Jakarta to South Korea or Spain to Belarus.
Indonesia was originally not an archipelago but a mainland called SUNDALAND (Western side of Indonesia) and SAHULLAND (Eastern side of Indonesia). However, 70% of the land was sunk into the ocean.
The territory of Indonesia is 60% sea, 30% (Forests, Volcanoes, Caves, Waterfalls, Rivers, Lakes, Mountains, Forests, Deserts, Cliffs and Canyons) and 10% Man-made.
The total area of Indonesia is 8.5 million km² (Including land, sea and EEZ). The coastline of Indonesia is more than 98.000 km².
In fact, in Indonesia, a lot tourist attractions (100% overall) is more than 4.800.000 - 6.100.000 (This is a total of the craziest nature in the world, that's why Indonesia has been named the MOST BEAUTIFUL NATURE IN THE WORLD AND ALSO THE MOST BRUTAL) Imagine how crazy nature is in Indonesia that is not Humanity can fully explain it. Imagine that from the past until now, nature in Indonesia has been studied by many countries. Therefore, Indonesia is called prehistoric land by the International. In one country, there are things that are different, varied, many strange and whatever.
Indonesia is HEAVEN and HELL which collide with each other simultaneously, has 2 different sides. Traveling to Indonesia is not just about a relaxing and exciting travel experience, it is much deeper and more than that. You can even feel disappointed, emotional, confused, sad, tired, give up, smile, laugh, afraid, goosebumps, satisfied and others at the same time.
The number of victims of natural disasters in Indonesia in 1 year :
>(2022) is 1.4 million people.
>(2021) is 8.4 million people.
>(2020) is 945 people.
>(2019) is 3.721 people.
>(2018) is 10.32 million people.
>(2017) is 52.930 people.
>(2016) is 6 million people.
>(2015) is 22.773 people.
Total victims of natural disasters in Indonesia for 7 years = 25.200.369
(The power of nature in Indonesia is really no joke, even to the point of having an impact on other countries).
Another informations :
>Dutch band Within Temptation made the title song "Mother Earth" which describes nature in Indonesia. Even Sharon Den Adel, vocalist of Within Temptation, has lived in Bali Indonesia since childhood.
>Groove Coverage from Germany has a song called "Indonesia" and "When Love Lives In Heaven" (These 2 songs are related). Some think that the female singer of Groove Coverage likes nature in Indonesia, you can see who the female singer of Groove Coverage is by typing "God Is A Girl". Of all the names of countries in the world, Groove Coverage chose the name "Indonesia" to be the title of a song (Album : 21st Century).
>Maria Amanda/Sabrina Nielsen, a Gothic Europe model (Denmark), has visited several places in Indonesia (Bali and Yogyakarta) and wrote an extraordinary assessment on Instagram.
>The name Indonesia is taken from a word in Ancient Greek and is related to the history of Ancient Greek mythology. The Indonesian name is referred to as "GAIA".
>Celine Dion from Canada has a song inspired by the music "Keroncong Indonesia" entitled "To Love You More" and in 2018 came to Indonesia.
>A rock band called Fransoa from France made a song called "Aku Masih Lapar" in Indonesian languages, the lyrics mention the names of Indonesian food.
>The European Gothic genre band "Xandria" from Germany made a video in Indonesia in 2015.
>The title songs from Europe, namely "Straitjackets And Wards" and "Eternal Waking" became the soundtrack of a horror game from Indonesia called "Pulang Insanity".
>And others.
I highly recommend to Indonesia.
109 + 51 = 160 tourist attractions in Indonesia (That's only 3%).
Thank you so much for your explanation sir, i'm Indonesian & not much know about my country better than you. I hope 2024 you can comeback to Indonesia, Wonderland country in the world.
This is wonderful
@@serophineearl847 Yes "Wonderful", but my slogan for Indonesia :
(Indonesia is the throne Queen of all the Queens of Mother Nature).
@@fitriahthoyib1911 Definitely, I'll be back in 2024 and research elsewhere. Because Indonesia is a country that I have loved since childhood.
Indeed... Even i as local Indonesian still amaze sometimes..
If u said Indonesia is Queen mother nature, i agree 💯 percent!
Maybe, Indonesia is the lost Atlantic as Plato said..
I'm as the researcher, who attracted to how the land are so fertile, i think Indonesia has the most complete and complex indigenous bacteria in the world.. a lot better than terra preta in amazon..
Another thing is about the culture that related to nature. If you want to try to learn about various of local culture, you will found "extraordinary" things. The philosophy, "the another dimension", strange nature anomaly, etc.
It's sounds pseudoscience, but that's the reality.
There too much words to describe about my lovely county.
And it's made me awake in the bedtime coz in my mind keep busy keep thinking of "who we are in past time", "who are our predecessor that has capabilities to struggle live in a land of heaven and hell", "what kind of creature than ever lived in this land", etc.
Btw, nice to read your wonderful opinions.
Warm hug from Indonesia 🙏🏿
I have been in Prambanan temple and when i stand at the center of the temples, i feel the place was so majestic, mystical, and also there are kind of unexplainable strange feelings.
Jogjakarta is also known as a student's city,jogja houses one of the best university in indonesia,which is gadjah mada university,and it is one of the easiest place for students to live in.
If you're planning to go visit other places in indonesia that are not often visited by tourist,it's best to learn indonesian because you might not be able to communicate otherwise.
FYI,another temple that is famous in indonesia is candi muara takus,it's built by the srivijaya empire about 1000 years ago,it's located in kampar,riau province,which is on sumatra island.
I have been to Indonesia twice having been to Jakarta, Bali, Lombok, Flores Island and Komodo Island but I didn't like Bali much but loved Lombok but I always wanted to see Yogyakarta and Surabaya as well as parts of Sumatra and Sulawesi
Bytheway... Jogyakarta and surabaya is not part of sumatra and sulawesi. That cities in java island. Jogyakarta in central java and surabaya in east java
@@dewiholifandarie1386 Yes I'm fully aware
the last time I went to Jogja was 2019, just a month before the pandemic started. FYI, Borobudur often closed whenever the volcano, Merapi, acting out. because the volcano is in close proximity with Borobudur and in the past, it was buried under volcanic ash from the same volcano's past eruption, the management usually not allowing tourist to go up to the top of the temple after an eruption (which was very frequent but it mostly its just spewing ash). if you see the top of the temple is covered with tarp, it's to protect it from the ash. and usually it's closed until cleaning. I think when you came here, they were cleaning the temple from volcanic ash that's why you werent allowed go up. You can also visit Mendut next time, Mendut is another Buddhist temple near Borobudur and I think it's built at the same era as Borobudur. June to September are the best time to visit Java ( from Jogja to Ijen, you can do it in one trip for a week minimum) or any other tourism spots in Indonesia as during those months, Indonesia is in the middle of Dry Season so you wont get stuck in a rain so much.
Your vid reminded me of my time in Indonesia. The second temple is HUGH but very well preserved. You're very respect of the rules in every country you visit. 👏 I admire that greatly. Also love how you told the story in this vid and all your thoughts.
Amazing! where did you spend your time in Indonesia? Thanks for always watching and the thoughtful comments :)
Hello Lisa and Josh. I'm from Central Java, Indonesia. I have been to YIA Airport many times. Fyi, the reason why the announcements there are non-stop all the time is because they use 3 different languages in each announcement, namely Javanese, Indonesian, and English. In Yogyakarta, the local use Javanese language so yeah. Enjoy
hey Jonathan! thank you for the info! we thought it was great that no one would miss their flight updates!
SOOO CLEAN... THE LOCALS ARE DEFINITELY WELL-DISCIPLINED.
Wow, you guys got so much rain! We were told that a lot too, in Yogya - that we were the first tourists in 2-3 years. It's too bad because that city is soooo pretty. Loved the commentary. ❤️😊
hoping more and more people visit Jogja soon :)
I'm really glad that you guys are willing to travel outside of Bali really appreciate it,really loving your trips specially along with your parents 👏🤗
The people that you saw in Borobudur were Puteri Indonesia which is pageant winners in Indonesia, they took a film for opening show for this year competition which was officially from the government. They were also the Ambassador for Indonesia's Tourism. That's why they were allowed to enter the Borobudur.
we had no idea--thank you for sharing!
Sad that the first temple was closed. I feel like making RUclips videos would add an extra dimension to adventures. I enjoy your videos but would love to see more of your interactions with the locals. Maybe ask them about the history, etc. Stay safe and have fun.
In !976, My Father and I visited the Sultan's 'kraton ' (palace) where we listened to ethereal Gamelan Music from the" kraton ngayogyakarta handiningrat" ensemble outdoors. The exquisite sounds stayed in my Soul, still!!!❤
Actually climbing up to Borobudur is now limited because of conservation matter. The stones erode by nature and people walking on it adding to the erotion. So they have to do it to preserve the temple structure
So sorrry Lisa :( That's the worst!! It's so much different to experience the top of the temple in person! And holy crap you can tell from your footage how big the second temple is holy crap! I would walk miles in the rain to see that!
I recommend you to visit Bandung, where the city is famous for its creative arts and fashion city for Indonesia, surrounded by mountains making the weather quite cool .... hope you see my comments and consider visiting Bandung
Jangan bang, malu 😂
Bandung sekarang berantakan dan kotor gak ada yang seru untuk dikunjungi 😂
@@riannoviarsani komen lu yg bikin malu
Thx for sharing More than just bali. u will need to spend a life time to travel and discover Indonesia. Try to look these up, Bunaken if u like to dive, Mentawai for incredible surfing spots, Toraja, and Raja Ampat for stunning islands hopping and snorkling and many more. 😊
We love diving and snorkeling, thank you for these recommendations!
@@LisaAndJosh Heads up, they are all on different islands 😅. Enjoy your stay folks 👍
@@LisaAndJosh Komodo National Park in Flores is one of the most beautiful place for hiking, snorkeling and diving. It just one hour flight from Bali and has beautiful beaches and the only one Komodo Dragon
@@LisaAndJosh Komodo National Park is one of the destinations that should not be missed when visiting Indonesia. You will feel the sensation of meeting a very rare animal, namely the Komodo Dragon which only exists in one place in the world! Amazing place, as if you are in the world of Jurassic Park! In addition, the underwater charm is extraordinary. If you are lucky, you can swim with Turtles and Manta Fish there. Also don't forget about Pink Beach, a beach with pink sand that you probably won't find anywhere else in the world! Immediately contact your trusted travel agent to be able to visit these places. Usually people will use a special boat to get there, and they will stay on the boat for approximately 4 days 3 nights which of course will be accompanied by an unforgettable travel experience to those places! All the places, it just really looks unreal!
@@LisaAndJosh please brother Josh and sister Lisa next trip to vacation place in Indonesia. Like Jakarta, Lombok (West Nusa Tenggara), Flores (East Nusa Tenggara), Yogyakarta, Bunaken (North Celebes), raja ampat (West New Guinea), Wakatobi (South East Celebes), Mentawai ( West Sumatera) lake toba ( North Sumatera) and many more. Indonesia have many hidden places like paradise.
I salute you, many other tourists only know Bali and some don't even know that Bali is part of Indonesia. Even though Indonesia is bigger than Bali and there are so many things you can visit in Indonesia, such as Komodo Island, Labuhan Bajo, Raja Ampat, Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, etc. I like your video, so I'll give it a Like 🥰
Thank you so much for watching! So much left of Indonesia that we would love to visit :)
This is the first time I enjoyed watching travel vlog about Indonesia out of so many travel vloggers on youtube, Indonesia are more than just Bali and Yogyakarta, 3 days in Yogyakarta wasn't enough to explore what Java can offer. See you again in other part of Indonesia, you will have the most "travelgasm" of your life. LOL
Thank you! We believe it-we had no idea Indonesia has so many beautiful places to explore, we can’t wait to come back!
Seriously loving ur vlogs! You two are so humble, don't be so disheartened Lisa was still beautiful to see!
Still such a beautiful day and experience, for sure! And reasons to come back :) thank you for watching!
So glad you've discovered another of Indonesia's islands. I am married to an Indonesian and have fallen in love with the many destinations. You must try getting to Lake Toba and exploring Sumatra. Whilst up there go across to Bintan and Batam islands.
thank you for sharing, we can't wait to explore more of Indonesia, there's so much to discover.
Jakarta.semarang .surabaya .medan .its some beautiful city of indonesia.hopefully you could explore it soon
Great video! You're right, there is so much more to Indonesia. I had no idea those temples existed.
Crazy to see the growth of your channel over the past few months. Not just views but also subs. Been subbed since 5k. Love the videos guys, keep up the good work!
thanks so much for being a part of it all!! :)
And even thru the pouring rain , their radiance , their positivity shines thru and lifted up the ambience , their outlook towards everything totally awesome ,
Salam dari Yogyakarta, semoga Anda & keluarga sehat, sukses, bahagia dan bisa kembali lagi ke Indonesia. Banyak tempat yang indah di banyak wilayah Indonesia, beragam budaya, kuliner dan itu berbeda2 Anda akan merasakan pergi wisata ke berbagai Negara. Thanks sudah ke Indonesia👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
terima kasih!!
I'm from East Java, I''ve been in Jogja for couple times, but..... There's something make me wanna back there to enjoy environment, ppl, culture, idk... Just love it being there. Btw, thanks guys for visiting 🤗🤗
There are so many holidays in Indonesia, each region has different cultures, customs and foods
Jakarta has a thousand islands.
Yogyakarta has Prambanan temples and Borobudur temples,
NTT there is a komodo island,
Papua has Raja Ampat
If you go to Riau or the Riau Islands near Singapore and the regional language is Malay, like Malaysia and Singapore
Borneo has an animal called the orangutan, Bunaken, Karimunjawa, Wakatobi, Toraja,
so many places we want to explore in Indonesia--can't wait to come back :) thank you for the recommendations!
Dude, Toraja is not an animal. What are you talking about?!
Looks wonderful!
Love this ! Thanks so much for sharing and offering your insights :)
thank you or watching!!
Every region in Indonesia has its own unique culture
so true!!
I'm from Indonesia. Thank you for coming to Indonesia. I have been your RUclips subscriber for a long time, you know.
thank you for joining us in our travels!! we have loved our time in Indonesia :)
Quality vlog. Thanks guys. Pleased to see the family is having a great time. Disappointed for you all, especially Lisa not being able to go to the top of that first temple/monument. You guys had enough disappointments here in Oz. Even a rainy day there I feel for you all. You really deserve everything to go well for you . Take care all :)
thanks for the nice message, Steven! We are still so glad we were able to visit Yogya and hope to come back :)
Dont miss all beautiful beaches in Gunungkidul which can be reach in 1 hour from Jogja using a car rental,everything is so special and amazing .I just had vacation there at South Shore beach cafe and other beach cafes ....so wonderful!
Thanks for sharing!
If u still in indonesia u can explore east java bromo, tumpak sewu waterfalls or bandung west java for architctural building, history, food and nature
East Java looks so beautiful!
Love love love your narration! Really touching! Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Thank you for watching :)
Wow..! such a great traveling 😊
Glad you try the salak pondoh. 😃😃😃
Thanks for visiting my hometown. My husband and I watched this video with huge smile as we miss our hometown so much.
I think you travel during ramadhan, so many people fasting and not travel, which was good. Because after eid mubarak, all places were packed. Your timing was great. Borobudur and Prambanan looked so dreamy.
thank you for sharing your hometown with us :) yes! we are glad we came when we did, it was so special. and had to pick up some salad pondoh--I miss it!
Thanks Lisa and Josh for dressing appropriately in Indonesia by wearing tops that cover your shoulders (like all the indonesians do). It is an absolute No-Go in Indonesia to walk around with bare shoulders, but unfortunately not many tourists are aware of this. By their choice of clothes, though unintentionally, they show total disrespect and are frowned upon by the locals (although they would never admit it and will still smile at you)
thank you for sharing this :)
Hello Lisa and Josh, Good call by Lisa to visit Java. It's great to relive the memories. GWK was a quarry when I 1st saw it. Borobadur was in an open field. Prambinam restoration wasn't so far advanced. Such a shame you couldn't climb the temple. Thankyou so much for this video
wow, what a difference! thank you for watching :)
indonesia is arguably the richest country in natural things , diverse in culture, diverse in people , religion , landscape , animal species , underwater life ,islands , diverse in food , can u imagine 17500++ islands with diferent culture and languages... i'm not exagerating there is no country like indonesia . megadiverse country in the world , indonesia have everything ...but unfortunately the rest of the world still didnt know what is Indonesia... thanks for sharing.
America, canada, brazil and china defeats indonesia in all of fields unfortunately.
@@davidivory3234 fields what ? language? culture? underwater life? the only nation can beat natural things is brazil because they have amazon . china , america , and canada only have big size.
@@runforlife2323 Most of the fields accept animal biodiversity, but not ethnicity, religion to amount of island and so on.
@@davidivory3234 how about underwater life? u think those country can beat raja ampat in indonesia?
@@runforlife2323 I said animals, under water mostly animals australia defeats Indonesia.
Prambanan, borobudur, ratu boko, candi gedong songo, candi plausan, all worth visiting. Indonesia full of history heritage..
Love it to see its soo quiet there! Not too crowded like lebaran
Ive been there both at lebaran day, its soo crowded 😭
I felt it also, the magical of Prambanan when I was there. Miss it so much.
Walking while raining at prambanan with less people is something 👍👍
Ilove that you travel not just to sightseeing but also willing to learn about the culture of our country.... I wish you and your parents well and healthy always... and able to travel more island and cities in Indonesia
thank you for your kind words! we can't wait to explore Indonesia more someday :)
(English)
hey, its beautiful, looking at the temple when it rains. more beautiful than usual, that's also my favorite moment, visiting the temple when it rains, seeing the very beautiful nature when it rains.
(Bahasa Indonesia)
hei, indahnya, melihat candi saat hujan. lebih indah dari biasanya, itu juga momen favoritku, mengunjungi candi saat hujan, melihat alam yang sangat indah saat hujan.
we agree :)
Doing a little research and to see what's the latest updates from Yogyakarta and you guys popped up..... Yeah, one of the bucket list of places that I was planning to visit until COVID-19 came into the picture.... And yes, Borobudur & Prambanan is the agenda.. coz i have seen Angkor Wat n Cambodia so these 2 places are a must visit for me.... Pretty quiet... probably as you mentioned.... The month of Ramadan...What a bummer in Borobudur..... and a heck of experience..... but no way ,the rain is going to dampen your spirits..... Thanks for sharing this.... Stay safe out there..
Hey JT, thanks for watching! yes, it was such an interesting and special time to visit, during the month of Ramadan. We hope to get back to Indonesia soon--there's so much to see! even in the rain :)
I recommend :
Java islands:
- Dieng
- Tumpak sewu waterfall
- Ijen crater
- Mount bromo
- pacitan
- Geopark ciletuh
- Grand canyon pangandaran
- White crater
- Tangkuban perahu
Jakarta ( Indonesia capital city )
thank you for these recommendations!
Welcome to my hometown, my house is just 500 meters from Sultan Palace. Actually you should visit Ratu Boko temple in the top of hill, and traveling around so many beautiful beaches in Gunungkidul.
Yes, of you have enough time and resource you must travel around Indonesia from Aceh to Papua. My country (sure because I am Indonesian) is a superpower in cultural and natural diversity. You should visit lake Toba, lake Kelimutu, mount Tengger, Raja Ampat, Toraja, Manado Sumba, Borneo and many others wonders of Indonesia! Thank you!
thank you for these recommendations!! We love your country and are very excited to return :)

Thank you for watching!!!
Amazing Yogyakarta,, I love..
Welcome to Yogyakarta from Kulonprogo
Oh Lisa, I’m really sorry that you couldn’t see more of Borobudur. And even for Prambanan, pre-Covid visitors could go up and see the statues of the main deities, their shaktis (wives), and their vahanas (vehicles). But please don’t let that deter you guys from exploring more of Indonesia. Cheers from South Kalimantan in Indonesian Borneo!
thank you for watching and for sharing! we can't wait to see more of Indonesia--if anything, this trip makes us want to come back and explore more :)
Wow, both of you are being in Yogyakarta and surrounding, nice 👍👍👍
Cool
Wowwwwwww, cool
Happy travelling
WOW LISA! Girrrrllll, you’re amazing! Beautifully narrated ✨
thank you for the kind words!! :)
Tempat wisata yang anda kunjungi terasa sepi kemungkinan karena anda datang saat ramadhan, kebanyakan orang Indonesia adalah muslim dan mereka puasa saat Ramadan
what i love the most about Indonesia and it's people that most of people follow islam now in the country but still they haven't forget their history and rituals and they respect it.
love from Hindu of India ❤❤❤
Actually, the word 'Indonesia' came from Greek phrases, Indus and Nesos, which means 'The Hindu Islands', and also our founding father use The Sacred Garuda, as our Country Symbol.🙏
@@kenarok886 yes i know ❤️❤️❤️
@@kenarok886 Indo comes from the colonial term "Indies"...an old region between modern-day Pakistan and Indonesia. So Indonesia means "islands of Indies region". It's not associated with any religion.
@@intriguingfacts5434 that's right. But, in a accidental circumtances, majority of our ancestor also the worship of The Shiva. They even believe that The King Rahwana (character in Ramayana) came from Sumatera island (Swarna Dwipa).
Borobudur is older than Angkor Wat by 2 centuries I believe.
Moment when the condition of temple is quiet is amazing💛
we feel the same!
Very clean and green nice video
New friend
hi friend, thank you for watching!!
10:09 The reason why Borobudur was closed is not only because of pandemic, but also because UNESCO has sent their concerns about Borobudur, and you can see some spots is under repair.
UNESCO sent their concerns about some broken parts because inappropriate actions (like jumping from one statue to another statues, hanging on statue, etc.) by "some" local and foreign visitor just in order to get better angle for their own social media. Those inappropriate actions from "some" visitors that already spreads in many social media also considered as disrespecting the Buddhists around the world.
Repairing Borobudur indeed need lot of money, rare expertise artist, high accuracy, and lot of time. But still, repairing will give consequences that some parts that will be repair/replaced will not original anymore.
So, two weeks ago Indonesian Tourism Official announced that Borobudur ticket will be raised to 750k IDR for local tourist, and 100 USD for foreigners. However it was later cancelled about one week ago because of many public objections ("too expensive") on social media.
Since the ticket raise was canceled, the Indonesian government still on progress with UNESCO to solve the future fate of Borobudur.
Sorry for the inconveniences, I hope you understand. Thank you for visiting Borobudur. 🙏
Thank you for respect local cultures and rules. Thank you very much. 🙏🙏🙏
we will always try, especially when visiting others' homes :) thank you for watching
Thankyou for visited my hometown jogkakarta 🫶💫
