Borobudur Temple is one of the biggest, most elaborate and well-preserved of Buddhist monuments in Asia. Seen from the air the huge complex is a three dimensional representation of a mandala. From the ground its hard to make out this intricate pattern as you travel around the levels, working upwards towards a terrace punctuated with huge stone stupas containing Buddhas. The whole journey is flanked by a freize which tells the story of Buddha's life and the teachings of the eighfold path. Be sure to get one of the volcanic souvenir models of the temple before you leave form the multitudes who will approach you as it serves as a great memento of your adventure and makes it easier to visualise the complexity of the structure.
