This looks like a whirlwind tour!

Suggest you check out other temples of significant interest besides Borobodur. Eg. After checking Boro, you could check out nearby Candi Mendut/Pawon etc instead of going to Kaliurang. These temples are even older than Boro btw.

Talking about which - Kaliurang is now a base for vulcanologists since the volcanic eruption of 2006 and they believe there will be another imminent eruption soon..any particular reason why you're aiming for this region?

Prabanam is now open to the public but restoration work is still underway since the last eruption, same for many sites of interest in Jogja. Do check with the relevant authorities before going.
