We experienced a sunrise from the temple, what an amazing experience besides from such a historic place????. The journey to the top fills one with awe. The detailed carvings displaying the Buddhist journey is amazing. Wow, what a great experience. Lots of additional activities to do and a restaurant available to offer food and drinks. ????

Truly a magnificent landmark. Not only value its historical moment, also spiritual too. The last time I visited, it was sprinkling (not raining) and I strongly felt it was a blessing from the Buddhas to keep myself a little bit dry. The written wall of the temple is still safely kept until now, which is serving its important messages to us. However, after you done strolling around the temple, please do not forget to visit the cafe. The service is very friendly and the prices aren’t expensive at all.

Borobudur temple with plenty of 'deserted' and under-maintained museums. As of this review, tourist still cannot go up to the temple. The temple is surrounded with greenery and is very refreshing to breathe the air

It's surprisingly small. Comparing to Angkor Wat it's tiny as it only consist of 1 "building block". And since you cannot climb it, thus only see it from the ground outside (i think due to corona) you kinda miss out on the details. The information on site is also limited. Conclusion: it's a neat trip if you're in the area, but I wouldn't recommend adding an extra leg to your travel itinerary just to see this

This is a 'must see' Mahayana Buddhist temple from the 9th C CE. The sunrise tour is an early rise but is spectacular. The carved temple reliefs, over 2,500, and hundreds of statues of the Buddha are in amazing condition. The reliefs Include the tales of the prior lives of the Buddha - the Jataka tales - and the tales of the pilgrimage journey of Sudhana in search of enlightenment (perfect wisdom). Spectacular detail. Yogyakarta is not the crowded destination that the Hindu/Buddhist Angkor Wat temples in Siem Reap, Cambodia have become. This temple predates most of the Angkor temples.

One of World 7 Wonders.
It is a pity that some of the statue was beheaded or lost some of its part.
I hope government does really protect and rebuild this wonderful site.
It is part of the Indonesia pride.
During the blue and clear sky the majesty of this site is even more emphasized.
The detail of each carving, the gargantum size and also the meaning for each floor.
Love this site and i hope i can join vesakh celebration some day directly from this site.
