Borobudur Temple
2023 Sep 05
It’s a must visit if you are going to Yogyakarta - the largest Buddhist temple in the world and it’s awe inspiring.
It’s advisable to book tickets online - they give you time slots when you can go up the temple. The ticket cost includes special footwear that you need to wear if you want to climb to the temple. You go in small groups at an allotted time slot and a guide comes along with you. All this is included in the price. During dry seasons it’s advisable to carry water to drink.
The temple itself has been ravaged by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but kudos to the Indonesian authorities and UNESCO for restoration and taking painstaking efforts to maintain the premises.
