Take a tour of Prambanan Temples in Yogyakarta, Indonesia — part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. The large, carved stone towers of the Prambanan Temples look like miniature mountains dotting the landscape. These old Hindu holy places can be found in the countryside outside of Yogykarta city in Indonesia. The sides of these temples are carved with images of the epic legends of heroes and gods. This large compound was built in the ninth century, although it was abandoned not long after this. The countryside surrounding the Prambanan Temples is lush, green and very scenic as a backdrop for the tall buildings. The temple is dedicated to the three aspects of the Hindu god, Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu.

On the bus trip to Ubud I met Lucie and Stephanie, two French girls backpacking around Bali for 2 weeks. Stephanie worked in Jakarta and had a strong grasp of the Indonesian language. They seemed to know a lot about Bali, so I decided to let them host the Ubud video. Lucie takes on shopping and Stephanie discusses cuisine.
