A Journey to Reflect on History at Borobudur Temple in Indonesia

Borobudur Temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Buddhist temple located in Central Java, Indonesia. Built between the 8th and 9th centuries, the temple remained hidden in the forest from the 14th to the 19th century. To this day, the reasons for its construction and the methods used remain shrouded in mystery. Why not visit and ponder the history and the thoughts of those who built this magnificent site? 🥸

The "Sunrise Tour" is a popular way to visit Borobudur Temple early in the morning! However, access to the upper levels of the temple is restricted, so it’s recommended to either book a tour or purchase tickets that allow entry to the upper levels from the official website about a month in advance. 💡

Although access can be a bit challenging, the sight of the temple is truly breathtaking. As a World Heritage site, the grounds are well-maintained, making it a very tourist-friendly destination.

We hope this serves as inspiration for your next adventure! ✈︎
