If you dream of visiting an ancient Buddhist sacred place, go to Borobudur Temple in Indonesia, also called «stone lotus». Historians believe it appeared in the IX century. It used to be a centre of Buddhist pilgrimage, but eventually its popularity fell into oblivion for centuries. It was rediscovered again only in the XIX century. Today Borobudur Temple is one the most visited places by tourists and Buddhist pilgrims. From the above it looks like mandala, the Buddhist model of the universe. Come and see it firsthand. Walk through all its levels; see its fine bas-reliefs and mystical statues of Buddha, hidden inside the carved stone stupas. Hindu complex Prambanan appeared in Indonesia together with Borobudur Temple. Beautiful, mysterious Temple of Lord Shiva is open for visitors. Temples of Lords Vishnu and Brahma are located nearby. There are also three temples in honor of sacred animals of these gods. 

You can also visit Kraton Palace to see how kings of Java Island used to live in the XIX century. Some of its buildings were partly destroyed during wars with Holland and earthquakes. A small part of the complex has been restored nowadays; it's already enough to see how beautiful was the original palace with its numerous pavilions and channels. 

Go on tour to see famous temples and palaces in Java Island and get closer with the heritage of those ancient times. Touch these unique shrines and learn about their legends and mysteries.

    The private tour was great. We had a great conversation with the tour guide. There are other tours/options to visit the Borobudur Temple but this one was worth it.
