Selogriyo Temple

Selogrio is a small Hindu temple, built earlier before Borobudur temple. It is located at the head of a small valley, with many terraced rice-fields on the slopes.  This is the Java scenery one sees in magazines. We should be aware of the following:  Selogriyo is about 30 km. away from Borobudur, and journey by car or motorcycle takes about one hour (each way), over paved, winding country lanes (similar to rural "D" roads in England). Upon arrival at a nearby village, We walk about one or two km. along a steep bricked pathway, and over broken ground.  The temple is then reached after climbing about 200 steps.  However, the setting and atmosphere are sublime.
