Description

BOROBUDUR SUNRISE COMBINE CYCLING YOUR VILLAGE AROUND BOROBUDUR TEMPLE

TOUR CODE : BS0DT-014

You will leave your hotel at around 03.30am and be driven the 1 hours or so to the 8th century Buddhist relic of Borobudur. Find yourself a quiet spot to sit and wait for the sun to rise over the horizon enjoying the serene and spiritual atmosphere that seems to have infiltrated every rock. As you look out to the hills and forests surrounding you it isn’t hard to imagine how explorers must have felt when they stumbled out of the forest in 1814 to find such a sight lost to the world for almost 500 years. The awe-inspiring monument features the largest and most complete
collection of Buddhist relief sculptures on the walls of its seven terraces – all of which detail the story of Buddhist cosmology. It was thought to take 75 years to complete and although it’s exact purpose is still unclear it was evidently a shrine to Lord Buddha and guide to the noble path of the Buddha. It is thought that Borobudur was abandoned following the 14th century decline of Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms in Java, and the Javanese conversion to Islam. It was then completely covered in a deep layer of volcanic ash following the eruption of nearby Mount Merapi and worldwide knowledge of its existence was only sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the then British ruler of Java. Three kilometres to the east of Borobudur is Candi Mendut. This Buddhist temple was built in 824AD by King Indera of the Cailendra dynasty. There are some wonderful scriptures on the walls and the architecture is fascinating – well worth a visit before you leave the area. On your return from Borobudur you will enjoy cycling tour adventure and exploring the beauty of villages around bororbudur temple. Stop at Janan Village ( Tarditional Market ), Northern Ancient Lake Borobudur ( Bogowanti Village), Small path of Dagi Hill ( Kujon Village), Western Ancient Lake of Bororbudur ( Sabrangrowo Village), Brick Home industry ( Da’an Village ), 100 meter straight up hill (Kurahan Village), crossing the Bamboo brigde ,Terraced rice field, Menoreh mountain range,see the Bororbudur temple looks like a black magnet, Practice making pottery ( Nglipoh village), Pigeon race station, Southern ancient lake of Bororbudur (Ngaran village)
