The fantastic temples of Borobudur are the obvious draw for tourists. The world's most vast and complete collection of Buddhist relief sculptures presents itself over the monument's seven stories.
rnThe Borobudur monument, constructed in the eighth century, rests serenely on a hill with a view of green plains below. Your guide will explain the religious, historical, and architectural importance of the site to you. Being one of Java's most popular destinations, weekends may become crowded; therefore, going during the week is preferable.
rnCandi Mendut lies 3 kilometers east of Borobudur. King Indra of the Sailendra dynasty erected this Buddhist temple in 824 AD. People celebrate Waisak Day (also known as Buddha's Birthday) here every May full moon, and this temple predates even Borobudur. The architecture is intriguing, and the texts on the walls are beautiful.
