Located on the island of Java, the magnificent Borobudur temple is the world’s biggest Buddhist monument, also recognised as one of the world’s seven wonders. The temple sits majestically on a hilltop overlooking lush green fields and distant hills.
The best way to explore this site is on foot. As you climb to the top of this magnificent temple you will marvel at the intricate detailed stone carvings displayed on the temples walls.
Built in the 9th century during the reign of the Syailendra dynasty, the temple’s design in Gupta architecture reflects India's influence on the region, yet there are enough indigenous scenes and elements incorporated to make Borobudur uniquely Indonesian.

The monument is a marvel of design, decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. The structure is like a set of massive interlocking Lego blocks held together without any glue.
