do not forget that borobudur is laying nearby menoreh hills and kedu plain. there are many coconut trees and nice countryside along the way. and there are two rivers of progo and elo and two small temples so called mendut and pawon nearby.

In the early 1970's a team of international archaeologists investigated Borobudur. They found that the condition of the foundation had deterioated so much that the entire monument was in danger of caving inwards.
The monument was closed for 10 years while it was being restored. The work was completed in 1983 and the monument was reopened.
There is a museum close to the monument that has an exibition showing the process.
Your ticket to see the monument includes admission to the museum.

Stay and see spectacular sunsets at Borobudor as the sun sets behind the mountains surrounding the monument. Prepare to return to Borobudor at about 5pm and make your way up to the main stupa and face west. The sun should begin its slow descend around 5.45pm and the entire show ends around 7pm. The security guards will be there to shoo you out of the Park.
