Days 1–3: Jakarta – Old Town & Botanical Garden
Historic Old Batavia and Glodok Chinatown
Bogor Botanical Gardens
3 nights at The Dharmawangsa (5‑star superior)
Explore the vibrant capital of Jakarta, a dynamic centre of politics, commerce and culture. From historic landmarks to modern shopping districts and culinary gems, the city reflects Indonesia’s rich diversity and resilience.
Step back in time in the Old Batavia district and the historic Sunda Kelapa harbour, where colonial architecture, canals and Fort Batavia evoke the city’s past. Nearby in Glodok, Jakarta’s Chinatown, you can wander through lively markets and quiet temples tucked into narrow alleyways.
Just beyond the city, Bogor offers a refreshing change of pace with its renowned Botanical Garden, established during the Dutch era. Home to thousands of plant species, serene walking paths and a historic palace, it is one of Indonesia’s most treasured green sanctuaries.

Arriving in Yogyakarta, you step straight into Javanese heritage at the Kraton, where ceremonial halls and cultural performances reveal the world of the sultans.

Discover the art of batik at the historic Danar Hadi manor, home to a working studio.

Enjoy a blissful day at sea aboard a private yacht and visit the tropical island of Nusa Penida. Explore the artistic heart of Ubud and the breathtaking rice terraces that surround it.
A visit to a temple with sacred springs — where a priest performs a traditional purification ritual — offers a profound connection to Balinese spirituality.
