After you finish enjoying the sunrise then enter the Borobudur temple area at 06 AM where the situation is still calm because not many visitors come. A ninth-century Borobudur, the largest Buddhist monument in the world, is one of the most complex structures erected in ancient times. Built by Java's Buddhist rulers, it served as a pilgrimage point to teach the masses about the nature of human suffering, reincarnation, and enlightenment. This richly illustrated volume provides a comprehensive introduction to Borobudur's history and symbolism, including the Buddhist tales depicted in the 1,460 exquisite relief panels that line the lower terrace walls.

Borobudur Temple - How to build it ?

We extracted from various sources about the Borobudur to help you in understanding the work of Indonesian people that time, who already do understand management of construction and have very beautiful art. Visit Borobudur temple also hundreds if not thousands of other temples in Yogyakarta and surrounding areas.
Borobudur Temple Map
Borobudur Temple Map
Borobudur Temple  - How to build it ?
Borobudur Temple  - How to build it ?


  1. Shape of the building. The temple is a square-shaped footprint length +/- 123 m, width +/- 123 m, height +/- 42 m, wide 15.129 m2
  2. The volume of primary material. The main material of this temple is high berporositas andesite with a specific gravity 1,6 - 2,0 t/m3. It is estimated there are 55,000 m3 of stone formers temple or approximately 2 million rock with rock sizes ranging from 25 x 10 x 15 cm. Weight per piece of rock about 7.5 to 10 kg.
  3. Building construction. Borobudur is a pile of rocks placed on top of a mound at its core, so it is not a massive pile of rocks. Soil core also deliberately terraces steps and the top flattened to put the rock temple.
  4. Each stone spliced ​​without using cement or adhesive. These stones are only connected by patterns and stacked.
  5. All the stones taken from the river around the Borobudur Temple.
  6. Borobudur temple is a building complex views of the parts are built. Consists of 10 levels which is square and level 1-6 the rest of the round. The temple walls are filled with pictures as much relief 1.460 panels. There are 505 statues that complement the temple.
  7. Estimated implementation time period. No information is accurate. However, some sources say that Borobudur was built starting in 824 AD - 847 AD.
  8. Construction of the temple is done gradually. Initially built storey apartment layout. It seems designed as a terraced pyramid. but later changed. As there is evidence that demolished apartment layout. The second stage Borobudur foundation widened, plus two square steps and one step directly circle given the huge main stupa. The third stage, the railroad circle with a large main stupa dismantled and removed and replaced three railroad circles. Stupas built on top of these steps with a large stupa in the centre.Fourth stage, there are minor changes, namely making relief and making changes to the ladder above the entrance arch.
  9. One thing that is unique, it turns out that this temple has interesting architecture or structured format in mathematics. each bagain legs, body and head of the temple always has a ratio of 4 : 6 : 9. Stupanya placements also has special meaning, plus the expected relief part berkatian with astronomy makes Borobudur is an interesting historical evidence for the observed.
  10. Number of stupas in Arupadhatu level (not at the summit stupa count) are: 32, 24, 26, which has a regular comparison, ie 4 : 3 : 2, and everything is divisible by 8. Height stupa at three levels of TSB. Are: 1.9 m, 1.8 m, respectively different only 10 cm. So is the diameter of the stupas, having the same exact size as well with the high: 1.9 m, 1.8 m, 1.7 m.
  11. Some numbers in Borobudur, when added together the numbers will end up being number 1 again. Alleged that it was made ​​so that could be interpreted: the number 1 symbolizes the One the Adhi Buddha. Number of levels of Borobudur was 10, the numbers in the 10 when added together result: 1 + 0 = 1. Arupadhatu number of stupas in which there are no idols: 32 + 24 + 16 + 1 = 73, number 73 when added together result: as above 10 and 1 + 0 = 10. Number of statues in Borobudur total of 505 pieces. When the numbers in it are summed, the result is 5 + 0 + 5 = 10 and also as above 1 + 0 = 1.
  12. stone temple size is approximately 25 x 10 x 15 cm with a weight of rock types is 1.6 to 2 ton/m3, this means the weight per piece of rock just about maximum 7.5 kg (for 2 t/m3 density). Pieces of stone was very mild. For such a heavy rock, it does not need any technology. The problem that may arise is slanted terrain that must be taken. Sloping terrain physics make the load seems to be heavier. This is due to the decomposition of force causes no horizontal load parallel slope that must be borne. But with the fact that the weight per piece of stone is only 7.5 kg, it issues a sloping terrain terraces (beundak) the steps do not matter. The conclusion is the process of transporting the stone pieces are simple and do not need any technology.
  13. Source material is taken from the river rocks around the temple. This means that the distance between the quarry and the site is very close. Although the number reached 2.000.000 pieces, but each piece of stone material severity and proximity of transport, this means the transport process can be done easily without the need for specific technologies.
  14. The temple was built in the time period long enough. Some say 23 years some say 92 years. If the fastest assume 23 years. Let us count the stone mounting about productivity. If the land preparation and early material was 2 years old, then the installation of the stone age is 21 years or 7.665 days. There are 2 million pieces of stone. Productivity stone installation is 2.000.000/7.665 = 261 stones / day. This feels very little productivity. Do not need any way to produce the small productivity. Moreover, using the data execution duration is longer.
  15. Borobudur seen physically so impressive. It has 10 floors with square and circular shapes. Has reliefs along the walls and statues in large numbers. The temple is so concerned philosophy contained in the measures. This proves that the temple was built with the concept of design was quite good.
  16. Borobudur temple is also seen complex views of architectural design consists of 10 levels which is square and level 1-6 the rest of the round. The temple walls are filled with pictures as much relief 1460 panels. There are 504 statues that complement the temple. This is definitely not a job that's easy to design and implementation. Borobudur temple valuable conclusions from either side of the design of civil engineering and architecture art requires careful planning and management of the design aspects and how to implement it. I concluded that this temple was built by the project management has been pretty good.

Dieng Plateau, the oldest Hindu temples in Java

Dieng Plateau, the oldest Hindu temples in Java - The lofty plateau of Dieng (2093 ASL) is peace home to some of the Hindu temples in Java Islands. Name Dieng comes from Di Hyang (= abode of the Gods) and it's thought that this area once the site of flourishing temple-city of priests.


Most of the temples were built between the 8th - 9th centuries, covered the highland plain, but with the mysterious depopulation of Central Java, this site, was abandoned and forgotten. The eight remaining temples are characteristic of early Central Javanese architecture : stark and quite squat. Until 1856 the archaeologist Van Kinsbergen drained the flooded valley around the temples and catalogued the ruins.


Dieng's beautiful landscape is the main reason to make the long journey to this region. Any number of walks across the volcanically active plateau, the marshy caldera of a collapsed volcano, mineral lakes, steaming craters or even the highest village in Java : Sembungan Village (2300 m ASL) that has awesome attractive sunrise seeing at Mount Sikunir.


If you want to go to Dieng and want to fully enjoying the beautiful landscape, scenery, sunrise, crater, temples, I recomended if you stay overnight at Dieng. Means, after you finished at Borobudur in the morning then you continued straight go to Dieng. So, please you make discuss with us before you make any booking hotels during you are in Yogyakarta for completelly visit Dieng Plateau.

Yogyakarta Culinary

Yogyakarta Culinary - Visiting Yogyakarta not complete if you do not hunt culinary, because one of the ways to identify with complete of tourist destination is exploring the culinary in place. Indeed, if we hunt culinary then let us not make your standard form of eating places, but the taste and feel of traditional Yogyakarta distinctive touch is what you will get.


You remain to choose according to your appetite and which has mood to you. Usually when you reach Yogyakarta, surely is GUDEG which we look for first time. Correct in Jakarta or other town, this food truly disperse everywhere and have become icon separate for town Yogyakarta and through this article you'd be invited circle to see that Yogyakarta not merely gudeg which searched for, there are many food type again that can invite your eat appetite. Enjoy the food in Yogyakarta truly preoccupy.

Perhaps there is a certain culinary available in swanky restaurant and well air-conditioned, but the traditional touch that complements the culinary certainly not as precise moment when we eat these culinary in its original place. Although you might encounter in your country just a cozy restaurant, but if you are in Yogyakarta really want to enjoy culinary specialties, so do not hesitate to try it.

Culinary dishes that I mention below are generally only found in Yogyakarta, if any in other cities it may not be the same, especially if it added about eating atmosphere.Some culinary Yogyakarta that we are trying to show :

a. Gudeg



Gudeg is a traditional Indonesian recipe, originally comes from Yogyakarta, Central Java. This traditional recipe is the most famous dish of jackfruit curry in combination with some eggs and chicken. Very delicious despite how it looks. Don't bother about the looks, it's not as appetizing as it taste. Believe me, once you've taste the dish, you'll be sell forever. Price from IDR 20 depend on the content of gudeg. The famous one is : Gudeg Yu Jum, and try at the first place she started, that place nearby Gadjah Mada University.
b. Klathak Satay


The mention of this sate themselves take on the term "klatak" natural meaning. The word is also taken of the sound 'klatak-klatak' of burning flesh.
Sate klathak derived from goat meat. In contrast to the satay in general that burned with a smear of soy sauce, satay klatak burned only with natural ingredients. Sate just smeared salt before being burned. However, now coupled with the garlic, hazelnut. Savory garlic flavor really seep into the satay. Do not forget, dip it in soy sauce served separately to add sweetness to savory satay. Soy sauce is made from tamarind water, lime leaves, palm sugar, and red onion.
Talk of price, quite cheap, which is IDR 20 K per-share.

b. Bakmi KADIN


The name "Kadin" selected noodle stall vendors located across the street from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Special Region of Yogyakarta whether intentional or accidental. Chamber of Commerce is also an abbreviation of the name Kasidin Karto owner and founder of the famous shop. Chamber of Commerce has been serving noodle fans since 1947, no wonder this one noodle stall in the category legend Yogyakarta.



c. Mangut Lele Mbah Marto  ( "dazed catfish" Mbah Marto)




The actual location of shops behind the Indonesian Art Institute campus, about 7 kilometers south of Yogyakarta city center.
Shop building was not like most stalls. More accurately described as a house used as a tavern. With the living room, the middle, and a terrace fitted with tables and chairs, buyers who come straight into the kitchen to take their own food demand. Various dishes - rice, vegetables, warm, Opor chicken, krecek, tamarind fierce, and of course the mainstay dazed catfish - served on a sling (halls) bamboo. Each was placed in a large pot.

In the kitchen, too, Mbah Marto, assisted numerous children and relatives, cooking food over a fire made ​​from wood stove. Not surprisingly, the kitchen walls and roofs blackened by smoke. However, even with a dish and enjoy the atmosphere of the kitchen as it was, created a sensation for the buyer.

In addition to culinary above, there are several other distinctive culinary Yogyakarta, for example: BRONGKOS BU PADMO, SOTO KADIPIRO, AYAM GORENG SUHARTI, SOTO PAK MARTO - TAMANSARI, and many more

Ratu Boko Temple Complex

Ratu Boko Temple Complex - Magnificence Temple On The Hill TEMPLE OF RATU BOKO INDONESIA From Prambanan temple, it is only about three kilometers southward to reach the compound of Kraton Ratu Boko temple. The temple is more like an artistic palace than common temple. It can be seen from the gates and the other attributes that are now still beautifully standing on the area.The complex is located 196 meters above the sea level. On the highest point of the site, there is a small pavilion where we will be able to see a beautiful panorama of Prambanan temple with Mount Merapi as the background. 
Ratu Boko Temple


This site covers 16 hectares in two hamlets (Dawung and Sambireja) of the village of Bokoharjo, Prambanan, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The complex is located 196 meters above the sea level. On the highest point of the site, there is a small pavilion where we will be able to see a beautiful panorama of Prambanan temple with Mount Merapi as the background. This site covers 16 hectares in two hamlets (Dawung and Sambireja) of the village of Bokoharjo, Prambanan, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.Different from other temples in Yogyakarta and Central Java, the site of Ratu Boko has a special characteristic. Common monuments in Yogyakarta and Central Java usually consist of temples (holy building); however Ratu Boko temple compound has no holy buildings (temples) and even has several profane buildings. It can be seen by building used as living place such as pool and cave. 

Ratu boko pool

The temple offers you a splendid atmosphere. You will see and discover  the west horizon which raises peace feel..a stunning view when the sun goes down, the golden twilight comes out from
Ratu Boko ticket entrance : IDR 90 K per-person.


>>The Legend of King Boko

1. Main Gate
3. Pembakaran Temple
7. Kaputren
8. Caves
At the northern part from pendopo, isolated from the
Ratu Boko Gate
Ratu Boko Gate
rest of the site, lies two caves that were formed of sediment stones. The upper cave is called Gua Lanang (Male Cave) and the lower cave is called Gua Wadon (Female Cave).

King Boko is a legendary character known from popular folklore of Loro Jonggrang. This folklore connects the Ratu Boko Palace, the Durga statue in Prambanan temple (which is identified by local folklore as Loro Jonggrang), and the origin of the Sewu temple complex nearby. Prince Bandung Bondowoso loved Princess Loro Jonggrang, the daughter of King Boko, but she rejected his proposal of marriage because Bandung Bondowoso had killed King Boko and ruled her kingdom. Bandung Bondowoso insisted on the union, and finally Loro Jonggrang was forced to agree for a union in marriage, but she posed one condition: Bandung must build her a thousand temples in one night. He entered into meditation and conjured up a multitude of spirits (genies or demons) from the earth. They succeeded in building 999 temples. Loro Jonggrang then woke her palace maids and ordered them to begin pounding rice. This awoke the roosters, which began to crow. The genies, hearing the sound of morning, believed the sun was about to rise and so disappeared back into the ground. Thus the prince was fooled, in revenge he cursed the princess and turned her into a stone statue. According to the traditions, she is the image of Durga in the north cell of the Shiva temple at Prambanan, which is still known as Loro Jonggrang or Slender Virgin.

This palace was initially found by a Dutch arkeolog, HJ De Graaf in 17 century. At present, the complex consists of:

The first of three terraces is reached through a massive gateway built on two levels. On the western edge of this terrace is a high talud of soft white limestone. The second terrace, separated from the first by andesite wall, is reached through a gateway in paduraksa form consisting of three doors, a larger central one flanked by two of lesser dimensions. The third terrace, the largest, contains the richest concentrations of archaeological remains. It is read on the main gate Panabwara that was written by Rakai Panabwara, descendant of Rakai Panangkaran. He carved his name there in order to legitimate his authority of this palace.

2. Batu Putih Temple
Beyond the second row of gates on third terrace, on the north side of the plateau there's a structure similar to the base part of the temple with two terraces about 26x26 m in size. On the center of upper terrace is just an empty descending square hole. The function of that building probably as the crematorium to burn the corpses.
4. Paseban
On the plateau on third terrace, beside the Candi Pembakaran, there's also several square stone structure. On the structure there's some umpak or stone serve as the base of wooden column with hole to erect the pillars.
5. Pendopo
On the second terrace on the southeast side of the plateau, lies the pendopo (audience hall). The pendopo is a square stone enclosure surrounded with andesite stone wall with the small paduraksa entrance gates in north, west, and south side of the walled enclosure. In the center of this walled enclosure there's a stone base formed by two separated terraces, the terrace in the southern side is smaller than the north side one. This terrace served as the base and floor of the wooden structure since there's some umpak or stone serve as the base of wooden column with hole to erect the pillars.
6. Miniature Temples
On eastern side of pendopo on lower terrace, there is several andesite stone walled enclosure with paduraksa gate and gallery lead to the several pool within the walled enclosure. This structure is associated by local folks as kaputren (women's quarter), since the pool believed to be the pleasure garden for king and his concubines. One particular pool (or well) within the bath place is considered sacred by Hindu people called 'Amerta Mantana'. It is believed that the water of Amerta brings luck for anyone who uses it. Hindu people use it in Tawur Agung ceremony, one day before the Nyepi day, to support the achievement of self purify and to return the earth into her initial harmony. To the east of the pool there's two stone base structure, yet again probably the remains of wooden structure which only the stone base still remains.
8. Pool

The pendopo, the three temples, the pools and the kaputren are located on the south east. The existence of these buildings indicates the characteristic of a royal palace. Nowadays, the site’s name, the architect, and the function of the temple remain uncertain. Some people believe it was the former palace of ancient Mataram Kingdom or a fortress; other scholars interpret this site was a monastery. The other group presumes it was a place for rest and recreation. All of the opinions above were unclear, the local folks believe that this site was King Boko’s palace; the legendary character mentioned in Roro Jonggrang myths and named it after him.

Surakarta (Solo) Tour Package

Solo (international name : Surakarta) has several interested place to visit. The most popular destination in Solo are : Sukuh Temple, Ceto Temple, Waterfall Cemoro Sewu, Mangkunegaran Palace, Kraton Solo (Solo Palace). Trip to Solo need full day tour (from early morning until afternoon) because Yogyakarta - Solo takes 2 hours by car and Solo - temples takes 1.5 hours. I do recommend that you stay a night at Solo after Yogyakarta trip, so next day you can visit all destinations in Solo with relax - no rush hour to go back Yogyakarta.  

a. Sukuh Temple
An unique temple explain human fertility with the art lover. When someone says a taboo, it really naif that says so. Besides, this temple is same popular in the art of lovemaking as a portrait of what is written in the book of Kamasutra. In this area also there is a beautiful stone relief about economic activity at that time : iron home industry.
