Java Island, Indonesia

Cetho and Sukuh temples

Tucked away on slopes of Lawu Mountain, Cetho and Sukuh temples are famous attractions for a day tour from Yogyakarta. Though both sites are fifteenth-century Javanese-Hindu temples, their architecture is quite different. While Cetho temple is split into sections connecting by some flights of steps and Balinese-style gateways, Sukuh temple has a simple stone pyramid in the center surrounded by meticulously carved figures. Beside exploring the history and hidden stories of the temples, you can also enjoy an amazing view of the valley spread out below and the countryside between two places.
