Borobudur - Sunrise

The heart of the visit to Borobudur is the Borobudur Temple. It is the biggest Buddhist structure in the world and lies in the the Kedu Plain - a very fertile volcanic plain between the twin volcanoes of Mount Sumbing and Mount Sundoro to the west, and Mount Merbabu and Mount Merapi to the east.

Manohara Sunrise Tour cost IDR230,000/pax and it's really worth waking in up early in the morning for that. It comes together with morning tea/coffee and light meal at the coffee shop.

The temple can get quite crowded once the sunrise tour iss over and non hotel guests starts to flood the temple – so cherish the early morning tranquility you get during the sunrise tour, seeing the sun rising between the 2 great volcano of Merapi and Merbabu was simply magnificent with the silhouette of the Buddha statue in one of the opened stupa adorning your picturesque composition (if you are a photographer!) This alone is worth the visit.
