Java
Whilst you can fly almost anywhere in the world from Singapore, we suggest Jakarta on the island of Java to begin the next stage of your adventure. From here, travel in style in Aman’s luxury train carriage up to the lush, mountainous region of Borobudur where the world’s largest temple dates back to the 9th century. Amanjiwo is the most luxurious base from which to explore the region, designed to emulate the temple itself and boasting magnificent views out to Borobudur temple in the distance.
Suggested activities:
• Marvel at the spectacle of the mist rising over Borobudur at sunrise
• Take a serene cycling trip through sleepy rural villages and observe a variety of traditional crafts
• Trek through the foothills of Sumbing Mountain to the remote Selogriyo temple
