Borobudur at Dusk

On the drive to Borobudur Temple this afternoon, visit the historic Pawon and Mendut temples, which both predate the main site. Marvel at the flawless symmetry of Pawon and observe the trio of ancient stone sculptures housed inside Mendut as you delve into the historical significance of these monuments.

Reach Borobudur Temple following the conclusion of the standard visiting hours. Explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site to appreciate its myriads of detailed Buddhist reliefs and uncover its remarkable past.  It offers a deeply serene and intimate experience; you can wander through the intricate stone reliefs, dive into the site’s rich history, or simply find a quiet spot to meditate as the daylight fades into dusk.

Benefit from the unique opportunity to watch the sky transform over the largest Buddhist temple on Earth, framed by the peaks of Merapi, Merbabu, Sindoro, Sumbing, and the Menoreh Hills.

Conclude the excursion with dinner at a nearby restaurant, where you can take in the scenic nighttime vistas of the temple illuminated against the dark. (D)
