Candi Borobudur, Magelang

#tesaruonbudget Borobudur is the world’s largest Buddhist temple and one of Indonesia’s greatest treasures. While the main temple ticket can be pricey for foreign tourists (~$25), there are clever ways to experience it on a budget. A great alternative is visiting the surrounding hilltops (like Punthuk Setumbu) at sunrise for a magical view without paying full admission. The temple complex itself offers tremendous cultural value, with detailed stone reliefs and panoramic views. Even just walking outside the walls is spiritually grounding — a high-impact experience on a #tesaruonbudget itinerary if planned smartly.
