Step into the heart of East Java’s legendary past with this immersive 1-day cultural tour to Kidal Temple, Jago Temple, and the Museum Panji.

Your journey begins at Candi Kidal, a majestic 13th-century temple built to honour King Anusapati of the Singhasari Kingdom. Known for its elegant stone carvings and sacred Garuda reliefs, Candi Kidal reflects the spiritual depth and architectural mastery of early Javanese civilisation.

Next, continue to Candi Jago, another 13th-century Hindu-Buddhist temple, famous for its intricate bas-reliefs. These carvings narrate epic tales from the Panji cycle, Kunjarakarna, and Parthayajna, embodying the syncretic traditions of ancient Java. Your guide will help bring these stories to life, connecting myth, history, and culture.

Midday, enjoy an optional local lunch at a traditional East Javanese eatery, featuring regional specialities with vegetarian-friendly options.

In the afternoon, conclude your cultural journey at the Museum Panji in Tumpang. Here, the epic romance of Panji Asmarabangun and Sekartaji unfolds through captivating dioramas, handcrafted masks, and traditional puppets. Recognised by UNESCO as part of Southeast Asia’s intangible cultural heritage, these stories highlight enduring values of love, resilience, and wisdom. Guests may also join a hands-on activity such as mask painting or storytelling for a deeper cultural immersion.

This day tour offers an unforgettable exploration of East Java’s artistic and spiritual heritage—perfect for history lovers, students, and curious travellers seeking to uncover the legacies of the Singhasari Kingdom in just one day.
