The sun is setting. It melts into countless colors of the sky. You’re here for the lampion Waisak Borobudur — standing at the biggest Buddhist temple in the world. As the dusk falls, monks and devotees gather in prayer and meditation, filling the air with a sense of peace.

When darkness finally sets in, the lampion Waisak Borobudur fills the sky — thousands of golden paper lanterns released into the darkness above the ancient temple. Their warm golden glow against the silhouette of Borobudur creates one of the most unforgettable sights you’ll ever see.

The lanterns float upward, carrying prayers and wishes. A mix of serenity, joy, and awe washes over. Here is a chance for self-reflection and mindfulness. A once in a lifetime kind of experience, that leaves visitors feeling inspired, connected, and at peace. Will you take it with us?
