| Borobudur Temple Private Tour |
4 hours |
|
Enjoy the biggest Buddhist Temple in the world, one of the seven wonders in men's achievements. Built in the 8th Century, this huge temple consists of 6 concentric outer terrace and 3 circular terrace above them. Its wall are all built of stone and sculptured in bas reliefs extending 6 km in length, picturing the life of Buddha and the course to Nirwana and ultimate salvat.
Like the Hindu temple complexes Prambanan and the Dieng plateau, Borobudur was unknown and neglected for almost a thousand years, covered under thick layers of volcanic ash. From a far Borobudur looks like a huge but ordinary stone construction. But on closer observation you'll see that it consists of hundreds of wonderfully detailed statues and sculptures, representing Buddhist teachings mixed with images of Javanese life of a thousand years ago.
