Investigating a region becomes more unforgettable if we visit places that are typically inaccessible by car, opting instead to ride bicycles. This not only offers exercise but also provides us with a close-up view of the daily pursuits of Borobudur’s inhabitants, which include agricultural practices, tofu production, the art of crafting batik, and more.
