Introduction
The Borobudur Temple Compounds are on of the highlights of the country on the island of Java. It is an ancient Buddhist stupa and temple complex and is placed on the Unesco World Heritage List. The Borobudur Temple Complex dates back from the 8th and 9th centuries and was built in three tiers: a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms and, at the top, a monumental stupa. The views from the top are absolutely fantastic. The closest city is Yogyakarta, from where there are numerous ways to visit, either on your own or with a knowledgable guide which is worth the extra cost.
