Sunrise walk experience was very amazing, I did it twice. It's great experience for the whole family. Riding an elephant around the hill to see Borobudur temple from an elevated place was an unforgettable moment. Visiting villages (tilik ndeso) on a horse carriage was great as well, my family learned to make a clay pot after enjoying great sceneries of... More

We have seen many temples, but this one is the most dramatic one so far. It is well worth your while to have a guide.

Go for sun rise, where not many tourists around. entrance via Manohara Hotel is the best, even though you have to pay more. in case you are in the vicinity in the evening, make effort to taste local specialty, a javanese style noodle, Bakmi Jawa Pak Parno, near the Borobudur Tradisional Market.

Really, really glad I made it to the Borobudur at last. With a knowledgeable guide, the entire sunrise tour was very enjoyable with explanation of Buddhist philosophy, a summary of Buddha's life and the significance of some of the carvings. It was also physically undemanding to scale the 9 levels of this monument which is a great encouragement to many... More

Loved visiting this temple Was expecting a hike up several stairs but only a few! Missed sunset and sunrise was very wet. If u visit I would make time for a sunrise and sunset on different days in case weather is not good. Definitely worth the trip amazing photos to have for a lifetime

Nothing like the post cards I've seen, majestic on its own. The stones inscriptions are art of its own values. Unesco did it right in preserving this place.

This temple has an imposing position and easy access for the general public. It enables the viewer to experience the dedication and faith of the Buddhist people who spent so much of their time erecting it.

Borobudur is the reason why I traveled to Yogyakarta. I heard about this temple long time ago and know nothing much about it except know it is one of the UNESCO World Heritage site. This temple is located few hours from Yogyakarta city. As I have limited time at the city, I immediately joined a local tour as soon as... More
