The splendor of this temple is second to none. If you look directly, you will feel once the size of the building and the entire area. Located at a height, the beauty of architecture and nature around the temple feels really.

Two striking things that are immediately seen when traveling to Borobudur temple; the many reliefs (wall carvings) and stupas. In addition to the beautiful combination of these two things, it turns out that the meaning contained is also very deep.
