Batu Malang


Starting only 30 meters from the parking lot, a 2427-meter-long walking path connects all five complexes of Gedong Songo. It takes only about 20 minutes to walk from the parking lot to Temple Gedong V, one of the most faithfully and completely reconstructed. The temples, lying on hilltops and ridges, are spaced 100-200 meters from each other. 

The tour of the temples by horseback (Rp50,000 for one to two hours) is one of the best deals going on Java. You can either ride or be led. It is as if these non-complaining, small, sturdy beasts are on automatic pilot - they know all the trails and they plod uphill with their heads down indefatigably as if on tracks. 

The steep trail takes you through well-tended gardens of papaya, bananas, potatoes, tobacco, cabbages, beans, grapes, tomatoes, and corn, with cloud-scudding temples above and volcanoes looming in the far distance.

The simple yet charming monuments of Gedong Songo are superb examples of the Early Classic style of Javanese architecture. The spires on top of some of the structures are given the name "false linga." Another feature of the Early Classic period are the temples´ projecting vestibule, often with its own roof.

Although most of the main candi in each group were dedicated to Shiva, one shrine was set aside for Vishnu, a Hindu god rarely worshipped on Java. Temple I, the youngest of Gedong Songo, stands by itself, but the others form groups of structures. 

Some sections of the stone pathway from Temple I to Temple II is original. Temple II has a very well-preserved kala-makara relief on the portal. When viewing a candi, it´s best to walk slowly and look carefully because many attractive embellishments are not set at eye level.

Bandungan


Bandungan and the Gedong Songo Group

South of Semarang Bandungan, a popular 981-meter-high hill resort on the southern slopes of Mt. Ungaran, is the base from which visitors explore the Gedung Songo temple group. It is always crowded, especially during the weekends and holidays. The area produces abundant vegetables, fruits, and decorative flowers. The locals hire out horses to explore the surrounding mountain trails.

But the main attraction of the area is the archaeological park, seven kilometers uphill from Bandungan on the slopes of a small valley on the southern side of Mount Ungaran. The Hinduistic temples that make up the complex are among the earliest antiquities in Java. The name of the group, Gedong Songo, means "Nine Buildings." The number nine had profound numerological significance in ancient Java.

At 900 meters elevation, this is perhaps the most breathtaking archaeological site on Java. The location was chosen with great care for its magnificent views over north-central Java, encompassing Mount Ungaran (2050 meters), Lake Rawapening, Mount Merbabu (3142 meters), and hazy Mount Merapi (2914 meters). On clear days it´s even possible to see massive Mount Lawu in East Java.
