For this week’s entry into Photo Friday here’s a collection of snaps taken from Losari Coffee Plantation, Central Java. This collection of photos reflect the charming nature of Java and the idyllic nature of vacationing at the heart of Java itself.

The resort itself occupies 22 hectares of an active coffee plantation, surrounded by mountains and within driving distance to the mystical Borobudur. The scenic view was remarkable, a perfect place to rejuvenate and refresh. It is the perfect place to experience Central Java and its rich history of ancient kingdoms and vibrant cultures.

Visitors can take various tours such as the steam train tour, where you get to ride in a classic Dutch steam train through stunning rice fields, plantation grounds and traditional Javanese villages. There is also a tour through the coffee plantation, for the caffeine lovers, where you get a walk-through from growing to grinding coffee. Finally, there are also tours to Borobudur temple itself, and to various Hindu religious shrines around the area.
