Plaosan Temples (Candi Plaosan)

The Plaosan temple complex is typically visited with the Prambanan temple complex, around 2 miles (3 kilometers) away; there is a small additional “donation” to visit Plaosan. Like Prambanan tours, Plaosan tours most often leave from Yogyakarta as day trips, either combined with Prambanan itself or as part of a more in-depth visit that also takes in sites such as the Kraton Ratu Boko palace complex. The traditional Javanese farming villages around Plaosan are especially charming.
