Top Central Java Classes & Workshops

Batik, textiles dyed using wax, is a signature of Yogyakarta. Learn the art and bring home a beautiful souvenir at this batik-making class near the Prambanan Temple Complex. You’ll trace a pattern, outline it in melted wax using traditional “canting” tools, then dye it in sequence to bring out the brilliant colors. As soon as it’s dry, the work is yours to take home.

Begin your culinary journey at a local fresh food market in Yogyakarta, selecting vibrant vegetables, fragrant herbs, and spices for your cooking class. Create a delightful menu featuring one starter, four main courses, and an authentic dessert, all while immersing yourself in the flavors of the region. After relishing your homemade lunch, embark on a cycling adventure through the picturesque countryside. Ride a vintage bicycle along rural roads, breathe in the fresh air, and soak in the scenic views of rice terraces and plantations. Visit a rice plantation to discover the cultivation process, and experience the warm hospitality of the village of Bantul.

This activity is interesting and authentic because this is done by local artisan (silversmith) that becomes their daily job. Further more, you do it at their work space with authentic condition. All the process done by hand and finally bring home your work.
