“cultural beauty, featuring the oldest Hindu temples in Java, a bluish-green lake from sulfur, and spectacular sunrise views.”

The Dieng Plateau or "Abode of the Gods" is located at an altitude of over 2,000 meters above sea level in Central Java.It is an active volcanic area, resulting in both hot springs and boiling mud craters. This area has cold weather and is always covered in fog, giving it a mysterious and sacred atmosphere. This is an important natural and cultural tourist destination in Indonesia.

The prominence of Dieng is the Arjuna Hindu Temple Complex, believed to be the oldest surviving temples in Java.These temples were built in the 8th century, giving the area high historical and archaeological significance.In addition, there is the Colored Lake (Telaga Warna), whose shades change according to the amount of sulfur and sunlight And there is the Boiling Mud Crater (Sikidang Crater), which erupts, making a loud sound.This confirms that it is an area of volcanoes that are not yet extinct.

The best time to visit is during the dry season (June to August) he sky will be clear, and there is a high chance to clearly see the sunrise at Mount Sikunir.The scenery of terraced fields filled with cabbage and potatoes provides a feeling of peace and enjoyment.One can take a short hike in a refreshing atmosphere and cold weather throughout the year.

Dieng is a place that attracts photographers to capture the morning views covered in fog and the golden light of the sun.It is perfect for couples who want to relax in a quiet and romantic atmosphere. As well as artists and travelers looking for a place rich in natural and ancient cultural inspiration.We invite you to experience the grandeur and mystery of the Dieng Plateau, this land of gods and amazing nature, for yourself.
