Java Grand Tour JAVAA Pre-tour of GRAND the 53rd AGA in Bali TOUR 11-18 October 2020 Yogyakarta - Borobudur- Prambanan - Bromo - Ijen - Kalibaru - Bayuwangi - West Bali National Park Cultural Historical Adventure Landcapes Beach and Sun TheJava heart of the nation of Indonesia, Java is a complex island of great antiquity: this, after all, is where ancient Java Man stood upright and walked abroad. As such the island, home today to 140 million people and the most popu- lated island on earth, is defined primarily by people. Human ingenuity has left the island sprinkled with ancient treasures, such as the temples of Borobudur and Pram- banan. It has also shaped a culture that resonates in modern life, as expressed through the artistic traditions of Yogyakarta and Solo, and contributes to the modern dynamism of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. Java’s megacities may be crowded and gridlocked but they have a restless energy that is magnetic. People have shaped the natural landscape too, giving it an urban texture that runs in slithers through the pea-green paddy fields. Add in nature’s splendours – smoking volcanoes, rainforest and polished white beaches – and Java becomes irresistible. The Grand Java Tour begins in Yogyakarta in Central Java to witness the great temples of Prambanan and Boro- budur; from Yogyarkarta, journey to the iconic landscape of Bromo in East Java, with an astounding view of volca- noes; walk in giant underground caverns and see the “Blue Lava” of Ijen. The trip will be capped off with a stay at the West Bali National Park where there is excellent snorkelling and you will have time to relax before being driven to the Melia Hotel in Nusa Dua in Bali. “The spectacular temples of Pram- banan, set in the plains of Central Java, are the best surviving examples of Java’s extended period of Hindu culture. With nearby Borobudur, they are one of the top highlights of South- east Asia.” The Grand Java Tour Programme 11 Oct (Day 1) Arrival in Yogyakarta Arrive in Yogyakarta at your own leisure and check into the Phoenix Hotel. 12 Oct (Day 2) Yogyakarta Tour (B, L, D) After breakfast, First, visit Sultan Palace Keraton, a reflection of Javanese Cosmos or the Palace of Yogyakarta. It is a must-see site in Yogyakarta, and it is also an elegant complex of pavilions. After proceed to Taman Sari Palace, the site of a former royal garden of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta. The next stop is one of the world’s largest Hindu temples and a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Prambanan Temple. A place where tourists can expe- The Taman Sari Palace rience how the Javanese culture lives. Overnight at the Phoenix Hotel. The spectacular temples ofPrambanan , set in the plains of Cen- tral Java, are the best surviving examples of Java’s extended pe- riod of Hindu culture. With nearby Borobudur, they are one of the top highlights of Southeast Asia. All the temples in the Pram- banan area were built between the 8th and 10th centuries AD, when Java was ruled by the Buddhist Sailendras in the south and the Hindu Sanjayas of Old Mataram in the north. The two dynasties were united by the marriage of Hindu Rakai Pi- katan and the Buddhist Sailendra princess, Pramodhavardhani. This may explain why a number of temples, including those of the Prambanan temple complex and the smaller Plaosan group, Prambanan Temple reveal both Shivaite and Buddhist elements in architecture and sculpture. But Prambanan is a Hindu site first and foremost, and the wealth of sculptural detail on the great Shiva temple here is the nation’s most outstanding example of Hindu art. As the only Indonesian royal city still ruled by a monarchy, Yogyakarta is regarded as an important centre for classical Javanese fine arts and culture such as ballet, batik textiles, drama, literature, music, poetry, silversmithing, visual arts, and wayang puppetry. Yogyakarta is the capital of the Yog- yakarta Sultanate and served as the Indonesian capital from 1946 to 1948 during the Indonesian National Revolution The Phoenix Hotel 13 Oct (Day 3) Yogyakarta - Borobudur & the Dieng Plateau (B,L,D) Head out early in the morning to watch the sunrise at the famous Borobudur Temple. After our tour at Borobodur, we will visit the beautiful Dieng Plateau. The scenic volcanic landscape, the sulfur springs and the colored lakes make this place a real natural wonder. Then visit of Sikidang Crater where you are surrounded by steaming vents and bubbling mud ponds. With a facemask on, you can walk around the crater. From Sikidang Crater, drive to Arjuna Temple Complex, which con- sists of 5 temples and amongst some of the the oldest temples in Java. Transfer to Hotel for dinner after tour. Overnight at the Phoenix Hotel. A world heritage site, Borobudur is one of the most famous Buddhist temples in the world. Built in the 9th century during the reign of the Syailendra dynasty, the temple’s design in Gupta architecture reflects India’s influence on the region, yet there are enough indigenous scenes and elements incorporated to make Borobudur uniquely Indonesian. It is located near Yogyakarta in central Java. The world’s largest Buddhist temple, it was built in three tiers: a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms and at the top, a monumental stupa. The walls and balustrades are decorated with fine low reliefs, covering a total surface area of 2,500 meters square. Around the circular platforms are 72 openwork stupas, each containing a statue of the Buddha. The monument was restored with UNESCO’s help in the 1970s. The Dieng Plateau is a marshy plateau that forms the floor of a volcanic caldera complex and consists of two or more strato volcanoes and more than 20 small craters and cones of Pleistocene-to-Holocene age near Wonosobo, Central Java, Indonesia. Referred to as “Dieng” by Indonesians, it sits at 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) above sea level, far from major population centres. The name “Dieng” comes from Di Hyang which means “Abode of the Gods”. The Plateau is the location of theArjuna Hindu temple complex which consists of eight small Hindu temples from the Kalingga Kingdom. The Sikidang crater is an active crater surrounded by beautiful scenery.

Sulphur miners walking down to Ijen Volcano Iconic view of Mount Bromo Mount Bromo is the most iconic volcano in Indonesia and is an active volcano and part of the Tengger massif, in East Java, Indonesia. At 2,329 meters (7,641 ft) it is not the highest peak of the massif, but is the most well known. The massif area is one of the most visited tourist attractions in East Java, Indonesia. The volcano belongs to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The name of Bromo is derived from the Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu creator god. The phenomenon of Blue Fire at Ijen Mount Ijen (aka Ijen volcano) is a quiet but active volcano. It is set amidst a stunning landscape of volcanic cones. The beautiful turquoise coloured sulphur lake that resides at the heart of Ijen volcano is the largest acidic lake in the world and the result of a volcanic crater.

All that invigorates Bali is the ‘Chinese circus’. Certain resort lobbies, Ricky Utomo of the Bvlgari Resort chuckles, “are like a midnight sale” pulsating with Chinese tourists in voluble haberdashery, high-heeled, almost reeling into lotus ponds they hazard selfies on. The Bvlgari, whose imperious walls and august prices discourage the Chinese, say they had to terminate afternoon tea packages (another Balinese phenomenon) — can’t have Chinese tourists assail their precipiced parapets for selfies. The Chinese wed in Bali. Indians honeymoon there. That said, the isle inspires little romance. In the Viceroy’s gazebo, overlooking Ubud’s verdure, a honeymooning Indian girl, exuding from her décolleté, contuses her anatomy à la Bollywood starlet, but her husband keeps romancing his iPhone while a Chinese man bandies a soft toy to entertain his wife who shuts tight her eyes in disdain as Mum watches on in wonderment.

There are also Abstract: This study aims to determine the relationship of manifestations of hot springs in the Cangar area in Batu City, heat reservoirs in the Kelud, Kasinan-Songgoriti, and and Padusan in the Mojokerto Regency [5]. Arjuno-Welirang geothermal systems based on gravity data analysis. Gravity data are obtained from Geodetic Satellite (GEOSAT) and European Remote Sensing-1 (ERS-1) Satellite which have been corrected to free air correction. The result of gravity data analysis is in the form of a complete Bouguer anomaly which represents the gravity anomaly below the surface. The results of the complete Bouguer anomaly value obtained were -15,238 mGal to 86,087 mGal. Based on these results, regional anomalies and residual anomalies will be separated to determine the depth of the two anomalies. 3D modeling was carried out based on the complete Bouguer anomaly data to determine the reservoir relationships in the Kelud, Kasinan-Songgoriti, and Arjuno-Welirang geothermal systems. Keywords : gravity data, complete Bouguer anomaly, Fig. 1. Research area map reservoir, geothermal, GEOSAT and ERS-1 Satellite. I. INTRODUCTION Indonesia is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire region, where there is an active plate meeting. The resulting effect is the emergence of volcanic activity along the path through the ring of fire. The magnitude of volcanic activity gives rise to considerable geothermal potential [1].

Read Full License Page 1/24 Abstract Indonesia is one of the most interesting targets for seismic tomographic studies due to its tectonic complexity. The subduction zone was formed when the Indian oceanic plate was subducted beneath the Eurasian continental plate. This activity caused the formation of volcanoes along the Sunda Arc, including the area of East Java. In this study, we aim to identify the inuence of volcanic activities which extends from the west to the east of East Java. We used the data of 1,383 earthquakes, recorded by the 22 stations of the Indonesia Tsunami Early Warning System (InaTEWS) seismic network. We relocated the earthquakes and conducted a tomographic study using SIMULPS12. We then explored the anomalies of P- and S-wave velocities and Vp/Vs ratio. The low-velocity zone was observed in the volcanic area related to the partial melting zone or magma chamber with high Vp/Vs.

  • Challenge Your Adrenaline by Taking One of These Volcano Indonesia Tours
    Challenge Your Adrenaline by Taking One of These Volcano Indonesia Tours As an archipelago, Indonesia lays on the meeting of several tectonic plates. Geologically, it is the reason why Indonesia has many volcanoes stretched from the West to the East. Though it sounds worrying to remember how dangerous a volcano can be, the area can be the perfect place to explore instead. Volcanoes are known for its fertile land and scenic view. Apparently, volcano Indonesia tour can be found across the country and below are six of the best destinations. 1. Mount Rinjani, Lombok Lombok Island on the Eastern Indonesia has the magnificent Mount Rinjani and its craters. This active volcano has three craters from its past eruption called the Kelimutu Lake. Mount Rinjani is the second highest volcano in Indonesia after Mount Kerinci in Sumatera. The lake has a magical view because each crater has different colors throughout the day. From afar, each of the craters would be seen to have green, blue, and red color. The local people have their own legend of the color of the craters. However, the color change might potentially be the result of the change in oxidation and reduction of the fluid in the craters. It may take around two days and one night to climb the mountain seriously and professionally. However, there are Indonesia tour packages that will offer an easier hiking option for beginners. 2. Mount Batur, Bali Mount Batur in Bali might be the easiest volcano to climb in the Indonesia tour list. In just less than three hours, you can get to the top of this active volcano.

  • Climate Change Impacts on Bali Myna (Leucopsar Rothschildi) During the Last Decade (Case Study: West Bali National Park)
    SEMINAR NASIONAL PENDIDIKAN SAINS “Peningkatan Kualitas Pembelajaran Sains dan Kompetensi Guru melalui Penelitian & Pengembangan dalam Menghadapi Tantangan Abad-21” Surakarta, 22 Oktober 2016 CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ON BALI MYNA (LEUCOPSAR ROTHSCHILDI) DURING THE LAST DECADE (CASE STUDY: WEST BALI NATIONAL PARK) Jean Jacques Fanina Master in Environmental Science at Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta, 57126 Abstract Climate change is affecting birds worldwide. Such impacts have always been prevailing due to rising temperature or unpredictable rainfall that might be too abundant or little and which in turn bring about dire consequences upon the lives of the endemic bird known as Bali Myna (leucopsar rothschildi). In this paper we propose a framework analysis describing the possible patterns of change in the distribution of Bali Myna (leucopsar rothschildi) population based on climate parameters such as temperature, rainfall and humidity in hope to better have an improved quantitative methodology meant to identify and describe these patterns. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method recoursing to focus upon sites observation and a deep interviews to be carried out while using SPSS 16 in order to know the variables correlation in hope to determine the plausible significance between them that allow us to analyse the effects of environmental variables on bird species in this study. We tested the proposed methodology using data from the West Bali National Park and the existing data of climate variables over the last decade where climate variables are considered to be significant factors influencing the lives of Bali Myna (leucopsar rothschildi). This study discovers that increases in temperature and precipitation each year have adversely affected the number of Bali Myna (leucopsar rothschildi) population indicating that the bird’s survival capacity depends largely much on temperature.

Takashimaf a Geology Engineering Department of UPN Veteran Yogyakarta b Environmental Engineering Department of UPN Veteran Yogyakarta c Geology Agency d Pharmacy Study Program of PGRI Madiun University e Geology Engineering Department of ITB Bandung f Geological Department of Akita University Japan Abstract: The Ijen volcano has Pleistocene age (294.00 ± 0.03 Ma), and this stratovolcano was very acidic crater water with a pH of 0-1. The acidic crater water seeps into the Banyupait river flow. Asembagus is a research area located on the northern slope of the Ijen volcano, and the Banyupait River drains this. The acidic river water flows from the Ijen Crater Lake, so the pH of the water river was very acidic. This study used several different analytic methodologies with some previous researchers, namely using the method of geological mapping, pH measurement, spectrophotometry, IRMS (Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer), and the technique of Induced Coupled Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Besides, the petrographic analysis is used to determine the composition of rock minerals due to rocks interacting with acidic water. Banyupait River water in the Asembagus area has a pH of river water around 3-7.3, SO4 (220-683 ppm), and the type of water is meteoric water. Also, concentrations of Ca, K, Mg in the west Banyupait river irrigation water flow showed higher levels when compared to the eastern Banyupait River water flow.
