Most visitors go to Borobudur from Yogya by tour bus. Any of the hotels will make arrangements for you. You can also hire a car or motorcycle and drive yourself.
There is also a way to get there on the public bus. a taxi is probably the better way to go if there are only a couple people going.
We had the Sheraton make arrangements for us and we were taken there by their van and driver. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Borobudu is an hour from Yogyakarta, at the edge of a tiny Borobudur Village, where the inhabitants are mainly farmers and souvenir vendors. You'll be driven through small towns and rice fields before you reach this place. But who cares really? It'll probably be pitch dark if you're here on the sunrise tour. Save your sanity and charter a private car or join a tour group for pete's sake. It'll cost you less than $10 and save you the hassle of squeezing into a bus with a live chicken.

We drove to Borobudur by bus along the road from Semarang. The port town of Semarang was only around 100 km's away but the journey took more then 3 hours even with a police escort. So ensure you leave ample of time to travel along a very busy road! Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

The day before my flight was scheduled to take off, there was a story reported in the news that a small Garuda Airlines jet had crashed somewhere over Java... Since usually lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place in quick succession, I felt confident that my flight would be completed without incident and in fact, everything went very well...

Normally, I try to do all the visits on my own but this time we went with a travel agnecy from Yogyakarta.
I wasn't sure I'd get in Borobudur at time (6 am) to see the sunrise and took safety first.
We paid 30.000 rps per person and got transport and breakfast there.
We started at 5 am and returned at 10.300 am Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Most places of interest are within 2 km... so walking is an option. But it's easier to just hop onto a becak or one of those horse-pulled carts for a few thousand rp. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The bus terminal is opposite the market. If you can find the market, you can find the terminal. We walked from Manohara hotel to the bus terminal. From the direction we came from, it's actually hidden behind a row of shop houses. At the end of the road, the market on our left, and the bus terminal is on the right.
It's 15,000 rp to Jogja per person. We were told by another group of tourists that it's a good price. Although according to the Lonely Planet, it's 5000 - but it may be an old edition... but I guess it's still cheaper than taxi.
Be warned, the bus could get crowded, very. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

The site of Borobudur is actually located about 45 minutes drive from central Yogyakarta. If you want to take a taxi to Borobudur get your hotel to call and arrange transport and to also negotiate the price. A taxi ride for the journey should cost no more then 150,000 Rupiah ($16 USD) each way. Our taxi cost 100,000 to Borobudur and 150,000 back into Yogyakarta. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home
