As we arrived at the Carpark we did not like see the temple except for a few modern contemporary buildings. However upon walking in, we were awestruck by this UNESCO world heritage temple constructed about 856 AD. It is located in an enclosed park hidden away with with stalls & facilities. The Prambanan Temple being the main temple with many other several small temples in the same compound are Hindu Temples dedicated to Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva (The Creator, The Protector and The Destroyer). The steps to these individual temples are quite narrow and steep with many visitors taking selfies which make it a bit difficult to climb through. Our tour guide walked us through and explained/narrated in detail the history on each and every panel reliefs of stones carving and every temple building which house a statue of Hindu god or goddess. The Temples Park are well maintained, many ruins from earthquake could be seen lying neatly. There is an enclosed area with spotted deers, a souvenir shop and café. For visitors who do not wish to walk , they can pay a price for the Buggy Transport. The driver will gladly stop and wait for you while you explore the temples site . At the Exit , there are plenty of market stalls for souvenirs. Certainly worth the time to explore this ancient Hindu Temple, definitely one of the best tourist site around Yogyakarta !!!

After parking your car you need to climb the stairs and passing the stations of the cross along the path-stairs te get to the sendang ( water spring). For a long time I didn't visit a place like this. The daily chaos in our lives would be noticed immediately as soon as you step your feet by the shrine area. The old bayan trees provide a perfect picture of the shrine. No sound of traffics or crowd except birds and insects. Very quiet and serene. I've never been here before. It is the place of pilgrimage for the Catholic. I accompanied my friends who did pray rosary. It's really recommended if you want to get and listen to yourself. Take an hour meditation.

This is a perfect place to feel the atmosphere of ancient time. There were no crowd like in Prambanan and Borobudur. There were no musics and noises. There wasbonly the sound of wind. Love to be there myself enjoying the temple.
