A lot of travel agencies around Yogyakarta could arrange a trip to Borubudur for you for a price. But if you are travelling on a tight budget, you could easily visit Borubudur by yourself. Here's how you could do it:
1. From Malioboro, you can take a 2A Trans-Jogja Bus for only 3,000 Rupiah and alight at Jombor bus station.
2. From Jombor bus station, you can take a one hour bus that goes to Borubudur bus terminal which cost locals only 7,000 Rupiah but most bus inspectors usually charge higher for tourists. We paid for 10,000 Rupiah each on our last trip.
3. Once you reach Borubudur, you can walk for approximately 15 minutes towards the entrance gate. Alternatively, you can take a rickshaw or a horse-drawn carriage.
4. Borubudur Entrance fee for foreigners cost $15 or 135,000 Rupiah with free bottled water. Tourist guides inside the temple are available for an additional fee.
