Borobudur Temple, Jawa Tengah


Another miles stone for us, we have reached to another UNESCO World Heritage, Borobudur Temple in Central Jawa, Indonesia. I was told that it is the world largest Buddhist temple. This is another Must-Go-To place in Jogjakarta. The entree fee is USD25 for adult and USD17 for kids (foreigners rate). That includes the train ride getting to the temple.






We were lucky to be part of Payung Festival 2018 in Borobudur. The umbrella decorations were absolutely stunning. It was fascinating! 






Some highlights & tips here;
-The weather was scorching hot so equipped yourself with all necessaries. Don't forget to wear your UV protection, caps/umbrellas do help, It's important to stay dehydrated with a bottle of water
-They provided a renting serving for umbrellas outside the entrance, but you'll get a cheaper price if you rent inside
-There was a public toilet outside the entrance with a small fee of Rp2000. I didn't realised that there was also a free public toilet inside
-There will be local people selling stuff, bargain only if you're interested. Sometime it can be a little intimidating because they will be following you around / pushing you to buy
