Best time to travel
The best time to visit Borobudur, the famous Buddhist temple complex in Central Java, is from May to September. These months fall within the dry season, making it especially pleasant to explore the remarkable temple complex and its surroundings. The weather is warm but not overly hot, and rainfall is low, making it easier to explore both the historic site and the surrounding landscape. Sunrise over Borobudur is an unforgettable experience at this time of year, when skies are often clear and the views are extraordinary. Exploring the nearby temples of Prambanan and walking through the surrounding green rice fields is also especially enjoyable during the dry season. The dry season is also ideal for experiencing the cultural events and local markets that enrich the region.
