Description
An ancient Hindu temple stands on the west hillside of Mount Sumbing near the village. Besides its interesting structure, the temple and its surroundings disclose a very rich historical and cultural.
Travel with your friendly driver from your accommodation in Yogyakarta or borobudur to the peaceful Selogriyo Temple. Your journey will take about two hours from Yogyakarta, and one hour from Borobudur.
Selogriyo temple is 15 meters tall and occupies a surface of approximately 300 m2. This cultural and architectural treasure serves as a relic of the Hindu period in Java. On the four sides of the temple we find 5 niches with statues of Hindu deities: north is the statue of Durga, west is Ganesha, south is Agastya and east is Nandiswara and Mahakala. At 740m on the top of Mt Sumbing the temple is surrounded by Giyanti, Condong and Malang mountains. Composed of terraced paddy fields and luxuriant forests, the landscape emanates peace and serenity. No wonder visitors feel deeply impressed by the 2km walk up to the small temple courtyard.
After your tour, meet the kind and friendly local people, discover
their stories and learn from their wisdom. Your driver
escorts you back to your accommodation.
