Prambanan Temple was badly affected during the earthquake these year , May 2006. Currently, the site are closed and restoration would take some time for these beautiful ancient site. Let's hope that the restoration will be completed soon and it's glory will be restored again!

Prambanan temple are located some 17km from the city of Yogyakarta. Tourist can't miss these site as it are only a hundred metre off the main street.

It was said that the hindu temple are built in the 9th century, consisting three courtyards. Sadly, many years back, some parts of the temple are destroyed during a volcano eruption. Nevertheless, these are a site to visit during your stay in Yogyakarta.

Do note that the entrance fee for tourist are different from local. The entrance fee are USD10 (if I see the signage correctly! *grin*). Surrounding the temple are a very large and beautiful garden.

Also, you decide to do solo, there are local guides who would be able to explain to you what each statue or shrine mean for a small token
