Borobudur Temple, Central Java

Hi Steemians

This is the Borobudur Temple. It is a Buddhist temple in Central Java about 1 hour drive from our hotel in Jogjakarat. It was built more than 1000 years ago like the Prambanan temple, but instead of many small temples, this one is one giant temple

People going up the temple

Midway to the top you can go around

At the top of the temple

There is a Buddha statue in each of the small round structure. You can put your hand inside to try to touch the Buddha and it would be good luck

You can get a ride for around 2 dollar each person from the entrance to the temple, to only realize the temple is a short walk to the left and the ride goes to the right and takes the long way to the temple. On the way back though it was worth it as the exit is on the other side of the entry

There are shops selling traditional clothes and souvenirs at the entrance and exit

Could be quite hot if you visit in noon time, wearing hat or bringing an umbrella is recommended

Thank you for viewing
