When visiting the imposing 9th century Borobudur Buddhist temple, located in the regency of Magelang in Central Java, people will usually stay in the cities of Yogyakarta, Solo or Semarang. However, there are many accommodation options now located nearer to Borobudur, so that this will give you the opportunity to climb to the top of the monument before dawn to watch the magical sunrise here, or visit this temple several times during one visit to study the temple at leisure. This will also give you the chance to visit the many surrounding villages, get to know the friendly people, and experience their rural way of life.
Near this UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Monument are super de-luxe hotels, budget hotels to homestays to suit every purse. Around Vesak Day, which this year falls on 11 May 2017, these accommodations are most certainly fully booked, so make sure to book early.
