[2025 Borobudur Attraction] Travel Guide for Borobudur Temple (Updated Mar)

#2月好去地方2025 The thousand-year-old Candi Borobudur is the most important world cultural heritage site in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. With its unique stepped pyramid structure, it symbolizes the Buddhist cosmology. From the bottom desire realm to the top formless realm, it represents the process of practitioners reaching nirvana from the mundane world. It is known as one of the seven wonders of the world. It takes about an hour to drive from Yogyakarta to Borobudur. The ticket price is 50,000 Indonesian rupiah and 75,000 Indonesian rupiah to the top (an appointment for a guided tour is required). You need to change into bamboo straw sandals to enter the site, which you can take home after the visit. Borobudur is a seven-story pagoda with corridors on each floor. Various Buddhist stories and events such as the Buddha's enlightenment are carved into reliefs, which appear lifelike upon closer inspection. The most interesting thing to see are the 72 stupas on the top floor. There is a Buddha statue enshrined inside each stupa, and a huge main pagoda stands in the center, which is quite spectacular for taking pictures. #IndonesiaTravel #Yogyakarta #Borobudur

The rules for visiting Borobudur are quite strict. All tourists must enter with the group and are not allowed to leave the group. The entire process will be accompanied by a tour guide. Our group entered the ruins in sequence within the designated time. The tour guide was very attentive and carefully explained the history and meaning of each carving, which gave us a deeper understanding of this thousand-year-old pagoda. However, before I had the chance to appreciate it in detail, or even take limited photos, when the tour time was up, the staff reminded us that we had to leave because the next group of tourists were already waiting outside. It is a pity to see the beautiful scene of the pagoda in the morning light but only be able to take a quick glance at it. It would be great if we could have a little more time to quietly appreciate the magnificence and solemnity of this relic. #JanuaryGoodPlaces2025

Borobudur, one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world, is known as one of the four ancient wonders of the East, along with the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal in India, and the Mogao Caves in Cambodia. The stupa was once buried by volcanic ash and later excavated, and it still stands today. It takes about an hour to visit Borobudur, and it is recommended to wear the local grass shoes to the top as a sign of respect. 🚗 Transportation and accommodation: We chose to stay near Malioboro Street in Yogyakarta. The cost of a car for five people is about CNY 200-300. The car picks you up at 7:00 am, and it takes about an hour to get to the attraction. 📌 Tips: The climate in Yogyakarta is very hot, so it is recommended to book the first visit in the morning to avoid the scorching sun. It takes about 10-11 hours from queuing to the end of the tour. ⛰️ Things to do: You need to make a reservation in advance to climb to the top of Borobudur. The ticket includes an entrance ticket, a ticket to the top, grass shoes, and an English-speaking guide. We booked a time slot at 8:30 am. Although the temperature in Yogyakarta is very high, it is recommended to visit the top in the morning. The price of the ticket to the top is about IDR 445,000 (about CNY 210). If you like taking photos, be sure to take photos as soon as possible and try to follow the guide's pace to learn more about the history of the stupa. Starting from the base of the stupa, you can reach the top along the stairs and corridors, symbolizing the passage through the three realms: the realm of desire, the realm of form, and the realm of formlessness. The base of the stupa represents the realm of desire, the five-story body of the stupa represents the realm of form, and the three-story circular top and the main circular stupa represent the realm of formlessness. The intricate decorations of the realm of form evolve into unadorned circles in the realm of formlessness, symbolizing the transition from the realm of form, which is obsessed with form and appearance, to the realm of formlessness. 📌 Travel tips: The temperature in Yogyakarta is very high, so it is recommended to book the first visit in the morning to avoid the scorching sun. It takes about 10-11 hours from queuing to the end of the tour.

#Borobudur is a must-see, but get ready for an adventure! This place is massive, so brace yourself for lots of walking and climbing. Since you’re a foreign tourist, you’ll need to get a special tour ticket, which will come with a cool little package (straw flip-flops included). They’re comfy, but you might still want to wear comfortable shoes for all the steps you’ll be taking around the park. Here’s a tip: Borobudur gets hot. It’s better to go early to avoid the midday heat, but if you’re going later, load up on sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water. The climb up to the top is worth it, but those steps are quite something indeed —be prepared for a mini workout! And keep an eye out for the local photographers who’ll try to sell you photos. If you’re not interested, just smile and say “no” politely, or they’ll keep after you with endless offers. When you’re ready to leave, getting out can feel like a maze. There are loads of souvenir stalls on the way to the exit, and it’s super easy to lose track of where you’re going. Stick with your group or follow the signs closely, or you might find yourself accidentally looping back! Borobudur is a blast, though, and the views and history make every step worth it. So, get your camera ready, enjoy the ancient vibes, and have fun exploring one of Indonesia’s wonders! #borobudurtemple #travel #yogyakarta #100waysoftravel

My visit to Borobudur Temple in Central Java, Indonesia was eye opening. Located about 1 hours drive to Yogyakarta, it was akin to stepping into a world of ancient wonders. If you have been there, you would agree that this massive temple, built over 1,000 years ago, is truly a breathtaking architectural marvel. And beyond just being a pretty sight, the rich cultural heritage and history makes this a must see for anyone visiting the Yogyakarta region. Currently (as of March 2024), we can now have full access to the temple structure but there is a daily limit of 1,200 visitors. I highly recommend getting the Temple Guided Tour ticket from Trip.com, as opposed to the Borobudur Temple Tickets, as having a guide that explains a brief history of the temple, the carvings on the wall, the religious context etc makes a world of difference. Having made you way there, wouldn’t you want to also go up the temple structure (up the the 9th level)? Also, you get a free pair of sandals when you join the full tour! #WinHKFlight #winhkflight I want to travel to Hong Kong to experience its vibrant city life, delicious cuisine, and breathtaking skyline. From bustling markets to the multitude of shopping malls, Hong Kong offers a perfect blend of culture, history, and modernity that I can't wait to explore.

At that time, Indonesia was still a Buddhist kingdom (Syailendra dynasty). The temple was built to serve as a place of worship for Buddhists.

The Borobudur Temple has 9 floors (6 square terraces and 3 circular terraces). This terraced world is divided into three levels: Kamadhatu (the lowest is the world of desire), Rupadhatu (the middle is the real world) and Arupadhatu (the circular platform is the world of spirit). The platform of Borobudur Temple is higher and smaller. There are also four staircases in four sections (east, south, west, north). Borobudur consists of 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues.

Referring to the concept of Buddhist cosmology, Borobudur Temple is likened to Meru or the mountain that is the link between heaven and the world. This mountain stands in a location surrounded by mountains, sea, and big rivers. With that in mind, Borobudur Temple was built at its current location, surrounded by hills, mountains, and mountains, namely Mount Merapi, Merbabu, Andong, Sumbing, Sindoro, Tidar, and the Menoreh Mountains.

Borobudur is the largest Buddhist temple in the 19th century, has an area of ​​approximately 123 x 123 meters. The meaning of the name Borobudur is explained by many theories. Some sources believe that Borobudur originated from Bore-Budur which was probably written by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles in the book History of Java Island in English grammar to refer to the village closest to the temple, namely the village of Bore. He also suspects that the term 'Budur' is related to Buda in Javanese which means ancient. Other archaeologists think the name Budur comes from Bhudhara which means mountain. #awesomepic#historicculture#beautifulsunsets#culturalattractions#nationalpark

Borobudur Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in the world. Built in the 9th century, Borobudur Temple is now a magnet capable of attracting millions of tourists every year. Very beautiful place with lots of history. I’d recommend to have a guide or look up the information regarding this temple to learn the significance of the carvings and structures. Come during weekday or early in the morning to avoid the crowds. I came on a weekend one time and it was too crowded. You have to take a flight of stairs to get to the top, it wasn’t so bad but beware of the hot weather though! 🏰⛅️🌟🍃🌿 #roadtrip #urbanexplorer #historicculture #summervacation #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Pictures can't truly describe how magnificent and impressive that Borobudur Temple is. You've got to see it in person, walk around the different sides of the structure, and leisurely stroll through the different levels of Borobudur Temple to soak it all in. Borobudur is a huge 8th century Buddhist Temple with some excellent stone carvings, It has been wonderfully restored and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The history of the monument and of the Buddhist culture is not to be missed. Keep in mind there are very steep steps so wear appropriate shoes. Be warned that access around the site is difficult if you have some mobility challenges - there are lots of steps to climb and these steps are steep although some staircases had hand rails. It can also get very hot although it wasn't so hot on our visit. #besttrip #urbanexplorer #summerdays
