BOROBUDUR SUNRISE AT SETUMBU HILL & MERAPI LAVA TOUR

TOUR CODE: SUNRISE SETUMBU-23-504

Sunrise Experience at Setumbu Hill
Watching the sunrise from Setumbu Hill is one of the most breathtaking ways to witness the beauty of Borobudur Temple and its surrounding landscapes. Located approximately 4 km from Borobudur, this scenic viewpoint offers a stunning panorama of the temple, Mount Merapi, and Mount Merbabu emerging from the morning mist.

Tour Highlights
• Magnificent Sunrise – Experience a magical sunrise over Borobudur, often shrouded in mist.
• Serene and Less Crowded – Enjoy a peaceful and natural atmosphere away from the crowds.
• Ideal for Photography – Capture the ethereal beauty of misty valleys, golden sunrises, and the silhouette of Borobudur in a dreamlike setting.

Borobudur Temple
Constructed between AD 780 and 840 by the Sailendra dynasty, Borobudur is the world’s largest Buddhist monument. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it was designed to glorify Buddha and guide humanity from worldly desires toward enlightenment and wisdom. The temple was rediscovered in 1814 by the British under Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, and by 1835, the entire site had been cleared.

Pawon & Mendut Temples
During early 20th-century restoration efforts, two smaller temples—Pawon and Mendut—were found to be perfectly aligned with Borobudur. Pawon Temple is located 1.15 km from Borobudur, while Mendut Temple is 3 km away. Though the exact ritual process remains a mystery, scholars believe these temples share a profound religious connection.

• Alien Stone – A uniquely shaped volcanic rock resembling a human face.
