Patu is a town in Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia, serving as a gateway to Borobudur and Prambanan Temple compounds. It blends Hindu-Buddhist heritage with Javanese traditions, surrounded by volcanic landscapes and rice terraces. Ideal for cultural explorers and nature lovers.
Borobudur, the world's largest Buddhist temple, dazzles at sunrise. Prambanan's Hindu spires feature intricate carvings, with night shows adding drama. Ratu Boko Palace ruins offer panoramic views. Don't miss wayang kulit (shadow puppetry) sessions and batik workshops for authentic cultural immersion.
Must-try Gudeg (jackfruit stew in coconut milk), Yogyakarta's signature dish. Bakpia Pathuk (mung bean cookies) and Wedang Ronde (ginger dessert soup) are iconic snacks. Street vendors serve Sate Klathak (skewered goat grilled on iron rods) with distinctive flavors.
Taxis and ride-hailing apps (Gojek/Grab) are primary options. For temples, rent cars with drivers (1hr to Borobudur). Trans Jogja buses are budget-friendly but infrequent. Note: Narrow roads require caution if self-driving.
May-October dry season offers sunny days for exploration. Avoid December-March rains that may close attractions. July-August sees peak crowds—visit major sites at dawn.
