2. Borobudur Temple

🗓️ Best Time to Visit

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

Best months

  • •Dry season, April to October, is the most comfortable. Go at opening time or sunrise to avoid heat and crowds.
  • •The busiest days are national holidays, long weekends and Waisak (usually May or June).
  • •In the rainy season the stone steps are slippery, so take care.

🎒 What to Bring

  • ✓Modest clothes that cover shoulders and knees
  • ✓Hat and sunscreen: there is almost no shade on the terraces
  • ✓Water bottle, the stone gets very hot by midday
  • ✓Comfortable shoes with grip (special footwear may be required for the upper terraces)

⚠️ Safety Notes

  • !Follow the rangers' instructions and the daily visitor quota for the upper terraces

  • !Drink water often and rest in the shade; heat exhaustion is the most common problem
  • !Watch your step on the steep, worn stone stairs
3. Mount Bromo

🗓️ Best Time to Visit

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

Best months

  • •Dry season, roughly April to October, gives the clearest sunrise. June to August is usually the most reliable.
  • •January to March is the rainy season: expect cloud, mud and fewer clear mornings.
  • •Weekends and school holidays bring the biggest crowds at the viewpoint.

🎒 What to Bring

  • ✓Mask or buff for dust and sulfur smoke
  • ✓Sturdy closed shoes for loose sand and steep crater stairs
  • ✓Small flashlight or headlamp for the early start
  • ✓Water, a snack and a power bank (cold drains batteries fast)

⚠️ Safety Notes

  • !Stay behind the railings and away from the crater edge, especially when it is dark or windy
  • !Sulfur fumes can be strong: cover your nose and mouth and move away if it becomes hard to breathe
  • !Layer your clothes; the temperature swings a lot between dawn and midday
  • !Stay with your group and guide on the sand sea, visibility can drop quickly in fog

🗓️ Best Time to Visit

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

Best months
