Located in Java, Borobudur is easily the most underrated temple in Asia. Many will know of Angkor Wat and the Taj Mahal, but Borobudur still goes under the radar — except if you follow Ancient Aliens. Built in the 9th century by Mahayana Buddhists, Borobudur is the world’s largest Buddhist temple and it features a spectacular collection of over 500 Buddha statues and the most complete ensemble of Buddhist reliefs in the world at over 2,600.
