Step back in time as you explore the atmospheric stupas and terraces of Borobudur. Dating back to the 8th and 9th centuries, Borobudur rises dramatically from the tropical forests that surround it. Wander around the five concentric square terraces through pathways conceived to symbolise the journey towards enlightenment. Intricately carved stone frescoes line the way, rich in cultural and historical stories to explore as you wind your way up to the top. Take a moment to soak in the views over the mist-swathed forests as the damp air clings to the swaying palms, and the sound of the villagers starting their day drifts up from the paddy fields below.
