Disappointing
Reviewed by A TripAdvisor Member on Jul 12, 2008


In July 2008 the area was still mostly cordoned off. You could only walk around part of the perimeter. The site is dusty and not picturesque like at Borobudor. For the pleasure of this short dusty walk you must pay (if you are a foreigner) US$10, making this by far the most expensive temple we visited in Indonesia. The temples look impressive, but they are not in a nice setting, you cannot get close to them, and if you are a foreigner you get stuck with the bill for repairing the earthquake damage. Getting there on a motorbike requires traveling along a busy main highway. This was billed as a close second to Borobudor. It does not come close.

not up to the expectation

The temple was cordoned off except for one of the main temple due to the 2006 earthquake. No restoration work seen going on the damaged temples. If can enter inside the temple it might be onother experience but seeing it from outside it will take only 1/2 hour to tour the whole temple complex.
