There are currently no sunrise tickets available and the temple does not open until 8am. There are 2 ticket types you can choose from:

Yard ticket - 387.5k / $25
This allows access to the yard to view the temple only.

Structure ticket - 455k / $29
This allows access to both the yard and to climb the temple. Tour guide and special shoes are included. Tours take 1 hour up the temple, your time slot can be chosen online when you buy.

You must book online in advance for this option before going, since there is a limit of 150 people per hour, up to 1200 people per day. You can book from a week to a day in advance. This also saves you time at the entry!

(There is a limited amount of structure tickets at the entry and they are sold on a first come first serve basis, this means you need to go very early which in our opinion isn’t worth the risk and could end up being a waste of time driving there if you don’t get one).

Other things to know:

Online travel agencies like Klook/ Get Your Guide/ Traveloka etc who sell tickets at cheaper prices have led to the park adding an extra charge at the gates for anyone who buys tickets with them, meaning you have to pay an extra $7 at the entry. Buying from these websites might not end up being cheaper with this fee added on, so keep that in mind.

There’s also dual tickets available for those of you who want to visit Borobudur as well as another site like Prambanan temple or Ratu Boko. This can save you around $5 rather than buying them separately, but this ticket is only valid with the yard access to Borobudur and does not include the structure ticket.
