Candi Dawangsari, also known as Stupa Dawangsari, is located high up on the Shiva Plateau, just a short walk from Candi Barong, in Sleman Regency.
This unique Buddhist site is a must-visit for history lovers and view seekers alike. Unlike most temples in Yogyakarta, Dawangsari isn’t a typical stone building. It is actually a massive, ancient stupa! Today, the site is undergoing active restoration, giving you a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how ancient history is put back together piece by piece.
Because it sits high on a hill, you get incredible, breezy views of the surrounding countryside without the tourist crowds.
