Tour Description
To start with fresh morning, you will be picked up at the hotel around 03.30 in the morning and then continued to drive direct to the viewpoint called, Setumbu HILL. Setumbu Hill is the name of a hill located about 4 km west of Borobudur temple. It is one of the best spots to watch the Borobudur sunrise from an altitude of 400 m above sea level. The warmth of the sun in the morning reveals the fog blanket that covers Borobudur Temple and wakes it from its place.
After enjoying Sunrise, you will be driven to travel to Selogriyo Temple. It is one of the historical relics from the Hindu era in Central Java, and despite its relatively small size, this temple has significant historical and architectural value. The temple is an ancient site located in Windusari District, Magelang Regency, Central Java. It offers a unique and immersive tourist experience with its typical Hindu architecture and tranquil location on a hillside, Selogriyo Temple was built in the 8th to 9th centuries AD, during the period of the Ancient Mataram Kingdom, which was one of the largest Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms in Java at that time. This period is known as the heyday of temple architecture in Central Java, where many large and small temples were erected, including the more famous Prambanan Temple and Borobudur Temple. This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, one of the main gods in Hinduism. This can be seen from the architectural features and relics found around the temple which show the influence of Hinduism. Selogriyo Temple does not stand alone; it was most likely part of a larger temple complex or served as a local temple serving the Hindu community in the area.
So, when you are finished with the Selogriyo temple, you will be transferred back to Hotel in Jogjakarta. End of service.
