Another amazing day in Indonesia and another amazing experience. This temple is absolutely worth visiting when you’re traveling in Java island. The whole tour is very well organized. Due to protection of the site, visitors enter the site with a guide assigned at the entrance, the whole tour takes about an hour. The fact that visitors enter the site with guides in groups make the whole experience much better. You’ll learn a lot of stories and the history of the temple, explore the whole temple (you’ll have some time to wander around by yourself too) and due to regulated entrance, there won’t be any crowds forming at any moment. With that said, make sure to buy tickets in advance, as on busy days they may be sold out by the time you reach the site. #indonesia #java #Borobudur #temple

#indonesiatrip The Borobudur Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is undeniably a must-visit destination that seamlessly blends history, spirituality, and architectural grandeur. Stepping into this ancient monument is like taking a journey back in time, surrounded by the intricate carvings and majestic stupas that tell the tales of a bygone era. The serene ambiance, especially during sunrise or sunset, adds a mystical touch to the experience, making it a pilgrimage for both locals and tourists alike. While the historical and spiritual significance of Borobudur is awe-inspiring, I couldn’t help but notice a few areas that could enhance the overall visitor experience. The vast green expanse surrounding the temple, while charming, could benefit from a bit of grooming. A well-maintained lawn would not only add to the aesthetic appeal but also provide a comfortable spot for visitors to relax and soak in the atmosphere. Additionally, the introduction of more public seating areas could be a thoughtful improvement. Considering the number of visitors exploring the temple grounds, having strategically placed benches would offer a welcomed respite for tired feet and an opportunity to contemplate the marvels of Borobudur. In conclusion, Borobudur Temple is a cultural gem that has withstood the test of time. Its grandeur and historical significance are undeniable. With a few enhancements to the surrounding greenery and the addition of more seating areas, the experience for visitors could be even more delightful. This is a place where the past meets the present, and with a little care, it could continue to be a timeless destination for generations to come

|||Borobudur is one of the largest existing Buddhist buildings in the world.🎈Borobudur|||Borobudur is one of the largest existing Buddhist buildings in the world, on par with Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Bagan in Myanmar. More than six hundred years ago, due to the Javanese converting to Islam, this temple was abandoned and subsequently covered by volcanic ash and tropical rainforest. It was not until the early 19th century that it was excavated by the British governor and saw the light of day again. 🎈The entire temple has 2672 reliefs and 504 Buddha statues, each of which is located in a stupa with many holes. Along the walls of the corridor, there are reliefs carved with Buddhist scriptures, from the first floor to the fourth floor, there are as many as 1460 pieces. Among them are more than 10,000 characters, depicting the suffering experienced by Sakyamuni. It represents the worldview of Buddhists: the bottom two layers belong to the desire realm, a world full of material and greed; the next four pyramid-shaped stairs represent the form realm, a state that has passed through greed but has not yet enjoyed happiness; the last three round floors represent the formless realm, a world that transcends greed and material.

🏨 Borobudur 🕙 Opening Hours: 6:30-16:30 ❤ Recommended Reason: One of the four great wonders of the East, you have to see it with your own eyes! If the Tengger volcanic complex, where Mount Bromo is located, is the most worthwhile natural landscape to visit in Indonesia, then the most worthwhile cultural landscape to visit must be Borobudur. 🌟 Highlights: Borobudur is the largest Buddhist temple in the world, and is known as one of the 'Four Great Wonders of the East' along with the Great Wall, Angkor Wat, and the Taj Mahal. However, this magnificent relic was buried under volcanic ash in the tropical jungle for hundreds of years due to various reasons such as volcanic eruptions, dynastic relocations, and the conversion of the populace to Islam, until the arrival of Dutch colonizers, which led to its rediscovery. The history of being forgotten by the world for hundreds of years also adds a lot of mystery to it. 🗓 Itinerary: A typical visit to Borobudur starts with a trip to the Punthuk Setumbu viewpoint to the west, where local farmers burn straw in the early morning, and Borobudur reveals its outline through the smoke and dust. Then, you can climb the stupa yourself, browse the reliefs on each level, and worship the only two Buddha statues that are not covered at the top. To the east of Borobudur, there are two temples, 'Pawon Temple' and 'Mendut Temple', which you can visit along the way. The three relics form a straight line, which is quite miraculous. Another quite intriguing attraction, 'Chicken Church', is also not far from Borobudur. You might want to take a detour to see it, and you can refer to my previous note. 📝 Note tips: For the purpose of protecting the monument, only 150 people are allowed to climb the stupa each day, and other visitors can only tour the base. Therefore, it is recommended to go early to buy tickets on-site.

This is a 9th-century Buddhist temple in Central Java is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The best city to get to this temple is Yogyakarta. I recommend you to get here by motorbike as the drive across the villages is quite nice and you will have your own time to visit the temple. Most of the tours do sunrise from a view point but then the temple gets very crowded so I will avoid sunrise. I went during the day and it was totally worth it. I will recommend you to get the tickets in advance as they usually sold out if you don’t plan with several days in advance. You have two tickets option, (ground tickets or structure tickets) go for the structure ticket as you will be able to climb the temple, otherwise you will stay on the ground and if you are here it is a must to climb it! Tickets are 455000rp by the time I visited. Once you get to Borobudur they will organise groups to visit the temple as there is a limit on the amount of people who can climb within a time slot. This is to preserve the condition of the temple, they will also give you cute sandals to walk in the temple and you will be able to keep them as a souvenir. It is a beautiful temple, it rained when I got to the top and it was really magical.
