The daily chores and ofce workloads

can feel quite monotonous at times. A quiet place with serene beauty and a pleasant environment can be a perfect getaway during these times. Borobudur Temple is one such place to relax. Surrounded by mountains and hills, this place is a real treat to the eyes. Every year, millions of tourists visit this place to devour the peace and beauty of it. Let us explore the place to know more about it so you can go there and enjoy its rich scenery and beautiful nature.

History of Borobudur Temple

Borobudur Temple is in central Java near Yogyakarta. It is Indonesia’s one of the most important landmarks. It is the largest Buddhist Temple in the world. Borobudur Temple was constructed in ve phases. The Shailendra dynasty began the 1st phase, built the 2nd and 3rd Phases, and completed the 4th stage during their decline. Sanjaya completed the 5th stage. These two dynasties shared power for 150 years in Java, where the temple was built. During this time, many Temples and Buddhist monuments were built. The construction of Borobudur was possible because Sanjaya's immediate successor allowed Buddhist followers to build these Temples.

Then, from Yogyakarta, you can take a public bus for $2 or a Minibus for $6. The journey usually takes 60-90 minutes. The entry fee to enter the temple for an adult is $25.

What to do and what not to do in the temple?

The temple gets crowded fast. Arrive early to avoid the crowd. You could do a sunrise tour or come before the gates are open.

Avoid the weekend. All the corporate employees are free during the weekend, so the temple is very crowded on weekends.

Don’t forget to bring snacks and water.

Stay in the hotels near the temple. If you stay near the temple, you can reach there early. Early visitors could enjoy a relaxed and less crowded atmosphere.
