PLATARAN BOROBUDUR ENCOUNTER 2017

ABOUT THE DESTINATIONPlataran Borobudur Resort & Spa is located within the vicinity of ‘Kedu Plain’, also known as Progo River Valley

or ‘The Garden of Java’. This fertile volcanic plain that lies between Mount Sumbing and Mount Sundoro to

the west, and Mount Merbabu and Mount Merapi to the east has played a significant role in Central Javanese

history due to the great number of religious and cultural archaeological sites, including the Borobudur. With

an abundance of natural beauty, ranging from volcanoes to rivers, and cultural sites, Plataran Borobudur

stands as a perfect base camp for nature, adventure, cultural, and spiritual journey.

BOROBUDUR

Steps away from the resort, one can witness one the of the world’s largest Buddhist temples - Borobudur.

Based on the archeological evidence, Borobudur was constructed in the 9th century and abandoned

following the 14th-century decline of Hindu kingdoms in Java and the Javanese conversion to Islam.

Worldwide knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, then the British

ruler of Java, who was advised of its location by native Indonesians. Borobudur has since been preserved

through several restorations.

The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and

UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Borobudur is one

of Indonesia’s most iconic tourism destinations, reflecting the country’s rich cultural heritage and majestic

history.

BOROBUDUR FOLLOWS A remarkable experience that you can only encounter at Plataran Borobudur. Walk along the long corridor

of our Patio Restaurants, from Patio Main Joglo to Patio Colonial Restaurant, to experience BOROBUDUR

FOLLOWS - where the majestic Borobudur temple follows you at your center wherever you stand along this

corridor.
