This is my fourth trip to Borobudur, and it seems to be getting more and more expensive. There's a special ticket to climb (three times more expensive), but you're provided with a guide and special traditional sandals. Unfortunately, the guides mostly explain the meaning of life rather than the history or architecture of the temple. It's good enough, but not very satisfying. There are other museums in the area, but they cost extra. There's a shuttle bus on the way there and back, but the return shuttle bus station is much further away. There's a nearby shuttle bus available, but it also costs per person. The park area is actually great for picnics and relaxing, but perhaps because it's still an active place of worship, bringing food is prohibited. Honestly, for an Indonesian, I feel like this place of Indonesian pride is becoming increasingly difficult to reach for Indonesians.
