lia liaAugust 4, 2016It's really magnificent to visit the biggest buddhist monument in the world.. I had took the sunrise package..must depart to manohara hotel to grab tix around 3.30am..tix include light tea break. Nice
Gregory K.December 24, 2017I missed the morning sun rise which is mostly foreigners and students. Mid morning is mostly locals. They will ask to take your picture if you are foreign. Also you get a free guide with foreign tix
Aidu FAugust 21, 2015Worthy to stay in Manohara hotel and catch the private sunrise vieweing for Rp230,000 before it is opened to the public. The entrance fee is discounted only for hotel guests
Kai-Loon YongJanuary 31, 2017Beautiful temple and a must visit if you're in Borobudur. Can catch nice sunrise here at around 5.30am if the sky is clear, best to visit here in middle of the year.
Budin NJMarch 22, 2016A must when you are in Yogyakarta... ticket price for foreigners is a bit pricy but it includes free tea/coffee and separate place to rest before you start the tour...
gerard tDecember 10, 2014The South-Eastern corner of the first tier has been removed (and reconstructed 100 metres away) to reveal more relief panels that had been hidden under layers of stone. This is the "hidden step".
KatherineDecember 24, 2013One of the Unesco sights in the world! Definitely worth visiting! Slab loads of sunblock and come early!
Nam Nắn NótSeptember 29, 2017Huge space,details on mural simplier than in Angkor,ticket entry 25usd/foreigners,service friendly,open 6am close 5pm,no need to visit Boro museum
taufulou BokOctober 8, 2014One of the world 7 wonders. Impressive structure. Was told by the guard to Walk to the top and walk clock wise for 3 rounds then make a wish.
SizzleMelDecember 20, 2022Exit Through the Gift Shop, or in this case, a maze of stalls. If you care about your souvenir budget, buy at the stalls in the middle/near the exit. But you’d have to first know where that exit is 😂
Irisha TrushkinaAugust 5, 2015Great view from the top in sunrise time☺️ and never! Never! Never turn to the way during the green symbols Exit! It's the market place, you wouldn't come back alive😂
- Niluh Putu AyuMay 3, 2013This place was spectacular and amazing! Sooo coooool. Gak kebayang Indonesia punya tempat kayak gini. Yaps, it was my 1st time visited Candi Borobudur and I wanted to see it again! xxoo;)
Ivana SimanungkalitMarch 15, 2015Beautiful art sculpture. Unfortunately there are some pieces replaced by arificial ones due to the tectonic earthquake and dusk from Merapi eruption.
PauAugust 2, 2018Amazing temple. Walk around and discover every single detail. You will want to take pictures everywhere. Nice view and awesome visit
Hana Feberia 🐻November 18, 2015I'm so amazed when I entered this place for the first time! also when I saw a flying lantern at the Vesak day! I will never forget that moment in my life!
Celine DelhayeSeptember 5, 2014Go as early as possible (opens at 6) and on weekdays to avoid crowds! Expensive but worth it, included good snack after visit (nice when you got up at 3.30)- Megan MastersDecember 12, 2011Worth staying at the local hotel and doing the sunrise tour. The place is magnificent and it reminds us how special this world is. Well worth the trip!
Izwah MahdarOctober 20, 2015Great temple. But I prefer Angkor Wat more! Pretty expensive for foreigners (USD20) with a small scale temple. I finished all levels in 3 hours. Recommended with local guide.
Eric WAugust 15, 2012A short walk from the bus station. Try to go as early as possible. It gets hot early. Viewing the main temple at a leisurely pace takes about 2-3 hours.
Dwight Jason RonanOctober 28, 2013MUST VISIT: Catch the sunrise or sunset from one of Indonesia's iconic sites. Sit under a tree at the foot of Borobudur and enjoy the picturesque view.
Jans HansyahMarch 10, 2013The monument consists of six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues.
AngeliaFebruary 24, 2015You have to come before 5 am. And access to temple through Manohara Resort only, gate open at 4 am. Paid IDR 250000 for local tourist & IDR 350000 for foreign tourist included coffee break & snack.
Ayomi MichaelisMarch 10, 2016Go to Manohara Hotel to buy the ticket to enjoy the sunset and/or sunrise from the top of the temple. You won't regret it.
Mostafa FaroukAugust 10, 2019Enough Rupee to have before your sunrise @ Borobodour tour. The breakfast there is inclusive and good.
Oleg NevenglovskiyApril 5, 2017Sunrise, peaceful, beautiful and grand. Traveled from Jogja on a scooter with no problem. Hope for the same on the way back 😉
Ella MagicmizzSeptember 28, 2013Best done at about 3 pm so it is not so hot. Hire a guide to make the experience more meaningful.
Bambang KuntjoroDecember 31, 2013The only old Javanese manuscript that hints at the monument as a holy Buddhist sanctuary is Nagarakertagama, written by Mpu Prapanca in 1365.
Al KautsarApril 21, 2013If u're looking forward on buying souvenirs. Its better to come late. Cause thats when the sellers get desperate & they sell'em for a very low price.. ! :-) have dan!!!

chrysalicApril 14, 2012Go early in the morning or in the afternoon. Enterance price is 30K. If you\'re not a walking person, take a \'train\' ride for 5K one way. Beware of souvenir market, it\'s a tourist trap!

Arif SetiawanSeptember 1, 2021There are many good places around the temple now, don't just visit the temple, try looking for a “balkondes” 🏡
