Using the guides
Open the guide where your planning gets stuck.
A week to spare, a list of saved places or just a flight to Jakarta? Here are three ways to use the chapters in the bundle.
01Volume 1 · choose a route
One week in Java. What makes the cut?
Bromo and waterfalls, or Dieng and the islands? Volume 1 gives you two versions of a week-long trip to compare.
- Yogyakarta
- Bromo / Ijen
- or Dieng / Karimunjawa
- Start with the 7-day plans and choose the direction of your trip.
- Go back to the destination chapters for the stops you want to keep.
- Fit the start and finish around your flights, and check current access to the sights you choose.
You have a starting point for your route before booking every overnight stay.
02Volume 1 · getting around
A train to Malang. Then what?
Getting to the city is one decision. Reaching a waterfall and your next overnight stop are separate steps worth planning.
- Arrival
- Overnight base
- Onward journey
- Read the transport chapter alongside the sections on Malang and Tumpak Sewu.
- Write down where your day starts and where you want it to end.
- Before booking, confirm the pickup location, luggage arrangements and whether you return to the same base.
You know which details to settle before paying for a transfer.
03Volume 2 · West Java
Landing in Jakarta? Explore the west.
Bandung, tea hills, Kawah Putih or the coast? Volume 2 helps you plan a trip through western Java.
- Jakarta / Bogor
- Bandung
- Pangandaran
- Start with a 7- or 14-day plan.
- Choose your stops from the chapters on cities, highlands and the coast.
- Map out transport and overnight stays, leaving room for a slower day.
You can make western Java a whole trip without squeezing the east into the same itinerary.
These examples show how to use the books. Current availability for each volume is shown below.

Two parts of the island. Two separate guides.

The books also cover preparation, transport and everyday decisions, so your plan goes beyond a collection of saved photos.
A taste of the writing
First, decide what to leave out.
The bad news: you won’t see everything. But don’t worry. Java rewards those who choose wisely, not those who try to tick off a list.

FAQ
Before you buy
What is included in the Whole Java bundle?
Two digital PDF guides: Volume 1 — East Java and Volume 2 — West Java. These are books for planning your own trip, not a tour or printed books.
When will I receive both guides?
You pay once for the whole bundle. Volume 1: download link by email after payment clears. Volume 2: pre-order, file on release. The release date has not been announced yet.
Do I need to visit the whole island in one trip?
No. Volume 1 includes 7- and 15-day plans; Volume 2 includes 7- and 14-day plans. Choose your region and trip length, and keep the other volume for another visit.
Can I read a sample before buying?
Yes. Explore a free Volume 1 excerpt with destination notes, photos, a map and a route planner. No newsletter signup is required. This page also describes the scope of both volumes.
What language are the files in, and can I read offline?
The guides are in English. Downloaded PDFs can be read offline. Links to maps, booking services and websites may need internet access.
