Vesak Day 2026 Night Lantern at Borobudur Temple in Yogyakarta

The blessing ceremony truly cleansed my soul. Watching the sky full of lanterns carrying our wishes was an incredibly moving moment. I was also deeply touched that the staff stayed behind to help us until the very end.

Love the whole magical experience. The driver Aji is super friendly and nice guy. 2 more guys from Klook is very helpful and lovely guys. They took care of us well and give well instructions. It’s crowded so just have to stay close to follow their instructions then all is well. Thank you for the amazing night and I would definitely introduce my friends to go their service again.

Driver very attentive and fun. Everything is on schedule. Meet lots of foreigners here. Beautiful trip.

good experience overall, everything handled professionally.

wonderful experience. i will never forget it.. nice guide😉😉

So happy to have joined this year’s Waisak... truly an unforgettable experience, and the long wait was absolutely worth it! Our guide and driver were incredibly kind, funny, and patient. Even though there were lots of people, everything was well organized, and we got to release our lampions smoothly in the end. May every wish be gently protected. ❤️

Overall is a good experience to join Klook for this vesak lantern festival. The guide, Hasna is very friendly and helpful. Packaged food provided is good for me and happy to have transportation to send us back to hotel.However, there is several things need to be improved. 1. Should communicate well with the organizer,especially on the ticket to enter the lantern area.Face a lot of difficulties to enter borobudur lantern area. 2. Time management and planning need to be improved as according to literary, should able to join session 1 but in the end only able to join session 2. Waste some time just to find parking.

An event that is really worth recommending! For this Buddhist classic event, you have to queue for a long time to get to the event center. Everyone waited patiently. The ceremony finally ended at 12 midnight. You may need to grab a portable seat and wait in the row.

Never again!!! The whole experience was a disaster! First, the transfer from Yogyakarta to Borobudur took us 2 hours 30 minutes. So we were already running late for our first part of the itinerary which was the viewing of session 1 lantern festival. Clearly, the company should've known the traffic would be bad and could scheduled the departure earlier. Second, when we finally reached the gates, it appeared that the company didn't provide the guide with he general admission tickets. Against the flow of thousands of people, we had to come back to the ticket office and pay extra for the ticket. That created a huge mess as some people didn't carry cash. And it was clearly incompetence of the company. The guide returned the money for the general admission ticket on our way back, but by this time the whole experience turned into chaos. Third, due to all this mess, we missed the viewing of the Session 1 lanterns. So half of the Itinerary was missed altogether. Forth, the company didn't bother to provide us with VIP lantern admission tickets, so we had to stand in a queue for almost two hours. Altogether, the total incompetence of the company has ruined the whole thing. I would never recommend it it to anyone!
