Borobudur Temple Experiences

Largest Buddhist temple in the world, UNESCO heritage site 

It is the largest Buddhist temple in the world, and it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Indonesia. The temple was built in the 9th century, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's also sinking rapidly (7m to date!) so do visit before it's too late

Basically just walk around the exterior of the temple. There are lots of levels with carvings on the walls, and unique stupas with Buddha statues inside. We would highly recommend going with a guide who can share stories about the area to give it more colour.

Private Borobudur & Prambanan Temple Visit | Tasty Indonesian Lunch Included

Great way to see and explore the temples round Jogja! Driver Andi was fantastic and got a great spot at the top of the hill to watch Borobudur emerge from the mist at sunrise. Car was a good 4x4 suitable for some of the bumpier roads. Clear and easy communication on the day and beforehand. 

Special thanks for Seek Sophie and Mega for double checking all post-Covid tour changes/accessibility of the temples and for coordinating with Ayla Tours. Would definitely recommend and use Seek Sophie again for future trips!
