As you look out to the hills and forests surrounding you it isn’t hard to imagine how explorers must have felt when they stumbled out of the forest in 1814 to find such a sight lost to the world for almost 500 years. The awe-inspiring monument features the largest and most complete collection of Buddhist relief sculptures on the walls of its seven terraces - all of which detail the story of Buddhist cosmology.

Setumbu Hill is one of the best spots to watch the sunrise with the background of Mount Merapi Merbabu and see the majestic Borobudur Temple in the morning surrounded by a sea of mist. It’s no wonder that Punthuk Setumbu has become a favourite sunrise spot for foreign tourists as well as a favourite spot for photographers. The hill is approximately 400 metres above sea level. We recommend that you arrive before 05.00 am, Because you have to trek approximately 300 steps  to reach the top of Setumbu to see the sunrise.

BOROBUDUR TEMPLE The Sailendra dynasty built this Largest Buddhist monument in the world between AD 780 and 840. The Sailendra are the ruling dynasty in Central Java at the time. It was built as a place for glorifying Buddha and a pilgrimage spot to guide mankind from worldly desires into enlightenment and wisdom according to Buddha. This monument was discovered by the British in 1814 under Sir Thomas Stanford Raffles, it was until 1835 that the entire area of the temple has been cleared.

PAWON & MENDUT TEMPLE During the restoration in the early 20th century, it was discovered that two smaller temples in the region, called Pawon and Mendut, are positioned accurately in line with the Borobudur Temple. Pawon temple is located 1.15 km from Borobudur while Mendut Temple is located 3 km from Borobudur. It is believed that there is mutual religious relationship between the three temples, although the exact ritual process remains a mystery.
