What people say

"The Prambanan Temple Complex is a testament to architectural grandeur and spiritual depth. On my visit, the towering Hindu temples struck me with their intricate stone carvings, each telling stories from ancient epics like the Ramayana. As a travel blogger, I was captivated by how the site harmoniously blends human artistry with natural beauty. Prambanan is not just a series of stone structures; it's a cultural and historical journey that's tangible through every carved relief. While exploring, I learned that the complex is the largest Hindu temple site in Indonesia, and one of the biggest in Southeast Asia. It's a place where you can feel the past converging with the present. Just be prepared for a bit of a walk, as the complex is vast, and you'll want to see all the temples. Bring comfortable shoes and plenty of water, as the Indonesian sun doesn't spare any mercy. But the effort is well worth it—the splendor of Prambanan is an unforgettable sight that stays with you long after you've left."

"Visiting Borobudur and Prambanan was an unforgettable experience that left me in awe of the rich cultural history of Indonesia. Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world, was a marvel to behold, with intricate carvings and statues that told stories of the Buddha's life. Prambanan, a Hindu temple complex, was equally stunning, with towering temples that showcased the intricate stonework of ancient times. The detailed carvings on the temples were a testament to the incredible skill of the craftsmen who built them. Visiting Borobudur and Prambanan was a true feast for the senses, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Indonesia."
