As you may have heard, hence you have been googling around the latest information about Borobudur entrance fee, it is true that since May 1st 2017, the officials have raised the rates for entering the UNESCO site, Borobudur Temple, and Prambanan temple as well as Ratu Boko temple. To be short and simple , below are the updated entrance fee for Borobudur in 2017 2018 2019:
Borobudur USD20 USD25 (IDR325K).
Sunrise Borobudur via Manohara Resort IDR380k IDR450k.
Borobudur + Mendut + Pawon USD30.
Prambanan only USD25.
Prambanan + Plaosan + Sojiwan USD30.
Ratu Boko USD25.
Sunset Ratu Boko IDR175k.
Combo ticket for Borobudur and Prambanan USD30 USD40 (IDR520k).
What you should know!
The rates above valid for one adult with international passport, single entry. Rates for adults who bring KTP or KITAS get different rates. See: Tiket masuk Borobudur 2017 terbaru.
International visitors can pay cash in USD or in IDR. International visitors can pay in IDR by cash/card. They no longer accept cash USD. Bring your passport (or the copy of it), they will scan it for registration. [updated Oct 2018].
USD10 discount for international visitors who brings a valid international student ID / ISIC or between 3-10 years old.
The USD10 discount doesn’t apply for sunrise & sunset entry nor Combo ticket for Borobudur and Prambanan. The combo ticket is valid for the next 48 24 hours since purchase, single entry at each temple.
When you purchase the sunrise at Borobudur via Manohara resort, the entrance fee already included the entrance to the temple, torch light and snacks at the resort. Usually the snacks are gone by 8am. Also, if you return the torch light at the lobby, you will get small batik scarf as a gift.
[NEW Update Oct 2018] They have changed the entrance. Now you must go to Manohara Restaurant (Not the resort. The resort is no longer open since June 2018). And the breakfast is way way better now. They don’t serve “lame” snacks anymore. Breakfast is served at the 2nd floor at the restaurant. You still get the scarf if you return the torch light. From the Restaurant to the top of the temple is only 15 minutes walk. Super easy compared to the old route. Click here for the new location of the new entrance.

Hi great article, it helps a lot, thank you!
View CommentHowever, I am not sure whether my Student ID is qualified to get the discount of USD 10?
If your student ID is still active, then it’s qualified 😉
View CommentThank you for the information 🙂
I’m planning to go visit there next year. Planning to visit Borobudur in the morning to watch the sunrise and Prambanan to watch the sunset on the same day. I got a few questions to ask you:
1) May I know where can I purchase the combo ticket of Borobudur and Prambanan?
2) Does the combo ticket allow me to go in early for the sunrise at Borobudur? Or at 6am? Cause I heard if go with the Manohara tour, we’re allowed to go there at 4.45am.
3) Just for confirmation: the combo ticket is valid for 48 hours upon purchase? Means I can use the ticket to go Borobudur and Prambanan on the same day?
Looking forward to your reply 🙂
View CommentHi Jake,
1. At the ticket office at the entry of the temples.
View Comment2. The combo ticket only allows you to enter the temples at public hour (from 6am). If you want to see the sunrise from inside the temple, you must purchase the entrance ticket at Manohara resort (the resort located next to Borobudur temple).
3. Yes correct you can use within the same day until it expires (the next day, end of the day, after purchase day).
As of March 18 2018 I just purchased combo ticket on student ID and it is not valid for 48 hours. Combo ticket is only valid for 24 hours..
View CommentThanks David. I will update the info. 😉
View Commenthow much do they charge for senior citizen and kids?
View CommentThey charge around $10 cheaper than they charge adults. No idea about the senior citizen. I think they charge the senior citizen as adults.
View CommentHi there,is there a combo ticket for ratu boko and borobudur together? And also i want to avoid large amounts of people so would sunrise or sunset be better at borobudur?
View CommentHi Dorothy. I couldn’t remember. I don’t think they have the combo ticket for Ratu Boko and Borobudur. At Ratu Boko entrance, they sell a combo ticket for Ratu Boko and Prambanan (not Ratu Boko – Borobudur). Most people go to Borobudur for the sunrise. Ratu Boko / Prambanan for sunset.
View CommentUPDATE 22.5.2018: We visited Prambanan temple and purchase ticket – COMBO ticket (Prambanan+Borobudur) costs 560k for foreigner adult and is valid for 2 DAYS !! You can pay only in IRD, not USD and you can pay with credit card (no additional fee). You re welcome 🙂
View CommentThanks Jaro!
View CommentHi Jaro, We are visiting Borobudur + Prambanan in August 2018. Did you get the COMBO ticket at Borobudur Temple?
View CommentYes, you can buy combo ticket also in Borobudur temple at the entrance. Bonus: you can download and use mobile app Culture Places that has audio guide for temple. You do not need human guide 🙂
View CommentThanks for the tip Jaro. I was wondering if we should hire a human guide for both temples.
View CommentYou are welcome.
View CommentI think there is audio guide only for Borobudur temple, not for Prambanan. There are only human guides for rent. But there are big wooden boards about Prambanan temple, you can read them and learn about history and meaning of temple. In my opinion you do not need guide, but it is up to you. Price is fix for the guide, so you can join to some group of people and share expenses for this guide, if you wanna save money and if you have no problem to walk in a group of foreigner people.
Referring to Jaro’s comment, where can we get the combo package at IDR560k? 2 days validity?
Where to get it? At the entrance of borobudur temple? Or Manohara hotel?
Thank.you
View CommentEntrance of Borobudur temple. You cannot get the combo package at Manohara Hotel.
View CommentHello Mariza,
For the ticket by foreigner and lokal, if i ask my lokal gf buy for me, izzit possible or need to show passport or ID card before purchase any single ticket? Looking forward for your reply and thanks in advance.
View CommentIf you are taking the sunrise package via Manohara, you will need to show your passport. But you are going to go there at the public hour, you can ask your gf to buy the tickets for you. Depends on your luck, there will be a 2nd checking point after you buy the ticket, before entering the temple.
View CommentJust have a plan to go there on August with the same question hehe. Im Indonesia citizen and wanna buy local ticket for my boy friend (foreigner) and wondering whether I can buy a local ticket for him or not.
View CommentMy question: what will happen on 2nd checking point?
Most likely he will be asked to pay the correct fee.
View CommentHELLO,
THIS IS A VERY INFORMATIVE ARTICLE. IT HELPS A LOT FOR MY TRIP PLANNING.
BY THE WAY CAN I KNOW WHERE CAN I PURCHASE THE COMBO TICKET?
View CommentYou can get the combo ticket for Borobudur and Prambanan at the temple entrance gate. Not at Manohara Resort.
View CommentHey! Very helpful article. Can you please update your article to reflect it’s the entrance at the manohara resto, not the Manohara hotel? Otherwise it would not show up on google maps.
View Commentyup sure. Went there again a few weeks ago.
View CommentHey! Really helpful! Just wondering if I can buy it online from Borobudurpark.com (Pt Taman Wisata Candi). Is the site authentic?
View CommentNo need to buy it online. Better to get the tickets on site.
View Commentcan i buy it at gate of prambanan temple because i would like to visit first prambanan then borobudur
View CommentYes you can! 😉
View CommentIs it okay to rent a motorbike and ride to Borobudur & Prambanan? Is the road relatively safe (I know it’s Indonesia)? I rode in Bali and Surabaya, as well as the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam?
Also, is it safe to park at these facilities? Thank you.
View CommentYes. All safe and super easy ride! Just avoid the rush hour and long weekend. 😉
View CommentSorry I mistyped my email. It is ptsg13@gmail.com. Thank you.
View CommentSee my reply in the comments thread. 😉
View CommentThis is helpful! my husband are I are going this year and want to do sunrise at Borobudur and then head to Prambanan. Is the combo tickt of 40 USD valid for sunrise at Boro? or do we have to get seprarate tickets for sunrise Boro and separate tickets for Prambanan?
View CommentCombo ticket is not valid for sunrise. So you will need to buy the sunrise package at borobudur temple and then buy the regular ticket at prambanan temple.
