Borobudur Sunrise

Touted at the most visited site in Indonesia by locals and foreign tourists alike, Borobudur temple is a solid centerpiece to any Indonesia itinerary. This is so much the case that I have been to Indonesia twice now and both times I have made a visit to Borobudur temple, once for a Borobudur sunset and once for a Borobudur sunrise.

In 2014, we based ourselves in Yogyakarta and made our visit on a day trip. With the traffic conditions, it was long hours spent in a van but definitely worth it seeing as we booked the afternoon departure time. This got us into the temple complex about 2 hours before sunset and we stayed until the sun almost melted into the horizon and the guards shuffled us out the gate.
