Ijo Temple (Candi Ijo) / Highest Temple on Jogjakarta

Hi real travelers and adventurers, who are not adventurous, too "hi" to you: D.This time I went to the next place a considerable challenge, beautiful, high (of course, because this temple is above the altitude of 410 masl / 410 meters above sea level).

Why I review this temple?, Because uh because this temple is quite different, you can freely enjoy the sunrise and sunset, and you can see the beauty of this temple city of Jogjakarta, the temple is still in the process of restoration, here and there, and the temple was actually not quite ready in the field of services to visitors (toilet, restaurant, access road to get there), but if you are only going to spend a moment to pose with your closest friends and family, this temple offers its own beauty.

Ok, go to the main topic, this temple was built in the 9th century AD, the temple was Buddhist temples,'s temple is situated near Ratu Boko temple, this temple complex there are 17 temples in the form of terraces, the access road to the temple is in the form of asphalt, however, a lot of holes here and there, because often traversed by trucks limestone, and you will pass through limestone cutting mill before reaching the temple green, I suggest to you, are much better if you using a motorcycle just alone, if you use a car, avoid filling your car filled with passengers, due to a fairly steep slope, and the picture of me that I posted on this page, at that time I came to the ijo temple in the afternoon, and some of my photos are less describes the ijo temple actually, but in Other times, I'll take pictures of the overall ijo temple.

Directions to the ijo temple?

OK, it is actually quite difficult to describe, but I'll try with the language and explanations that are easy to understand, easy to understand path is T-junction near on Prambanan temple, where you can see or find (prambanan traditional market, prambanan temple complex itself, and bridges , if you come from the direction jogjakarta / west, you have to turn right, the road was actually headed toward Piyungan district, just follow the road continues, you will see the railroad tracks and then you will see a bridge and the little winding road will, continue to follow the road and you will find the direction to the ratu boko temple, its direction toward the left / east, be careful (the direction somewhat covered trees, so do not be too hasty in the way, continue to follow the road, you will start to see a small road and potholes (but passable enough the two cars that passed), after that you will see a small intersection, where the 3-way street signs that will lead you to some places to the left in the direction of ratu boko temple, go right to the temple green, straight to the banyunibo temple, after that you must go to the right (if you are heading toward the ijo temple), continue to follow the path until you find a T-junction in the latter, then you must turn to the right, and you will see the turn back to the south, then you will see the T-junction, you must lead the way to the left (the sign of the T-junction you can see the bridge is 200 meters from the junction, continue to follow the road, after the bridge you will begin past the ramp and hollow, not winding climbs, but lots of holes there, and 15 minutes later, you will see ijo temple on the left side of the road (if less obviously, I'll be happy to assist you).

Tips and tricks?, Tips and tricks for you if you will go there, you better visit this place in the afternoon so that you can enjoy the sunset, the toilets here are less clean, but if you have to use it take tissue, because there is no green in the temple stalls, bring your food from home or before you reach the ijo temple, levy or the price of admission to this place not too expensive, you only need to write in the guest book, name and where you are come from and you will only be asked for the money voluntarily, when last time I was there, I only pay RP.5000, - includes parking and admission for 2 people.Have a nice trip and read ;) .

note: if you have questions about this place, you can ask me directly (free :D).
