Punthuk Setumbu Hills: Borobudur Nirwana Sunrise

For some people, one of the best sights in the world is sunrise. Lots of people are willing to take the time to wake up in the early morning to see the beauty of sunrise.And i am one of them. This time I had the opportunity to see the beautiful sunrise from Punthuk Setumbu Hill nearby Borobudur Temple.
Maybe Punthuk Setumbu is not really familiar for some people, but the name was already well known for sunrise hunter. I also know the name of the place from of one of the tour agencies at Sosrowijayan street, Malioboro. I came ther with my friend from Netherlands who want to visit Borobudur Temple.

Beautiful Sunset of Parangtritis Beach

Actually the name of Parangtritis Beach already very familiar in my ears since primary school. Because when my school held a picnic to Yogyakarta, Parangtritis become one of the main object to visit. Before the beaches in Gunung Kidul is not too well known like nowadays.When i was in primary school I never got permission from my parents to participate, because they thougt i am too weak to have a long journey with a bus. A little goes a long with a bus is already make me vomiting. Moreover Jogja is located about a 5 hours drive from my home.

Borobudur: The Biggest Buddhist Temple In The World

Arghhh!! Borobudur Temple, who does not know about this temple. Just ask elementary school childrens, surely they know Borobudur. Definitely too many of those who visited Borobudur Temple. Borobudur has become one of the main tourist destinations in Central Java. Actually, Borobudur is located in Magelang, Central Java. Not in Yogyakarta as many people know. Magelang is the area immediately adjacent to the province of Yogyakarta Special Region.

My Sister

But unfortunately since childhood I've never totally seen this temple. Maybe just me in my family that has not had the opportunity to see the splendor of this temple. All schools must have conducted a study tour to Yogyakarta. But don't know why I never joined. Long enough curiosity was saved, and suddenly i am eager to see the famous Borobudur And now finally the opportunity is came. I am not alone, because my sister can accompany me  to Jogja. So she can take a picture of me. Everybody knows that i am narcis. :p
we left home at 5 am in the morning, hoping to get at Borobudur when the weather is still nice,  not too hot.
