DIENG PLATEAU: THE LAND ABOVE THE CLOUDS WITH CRATERS, TEMPLES AND PONDS

In my previous blog, I only showed some pictures from the Dieng plateau. So, here's a little story about my journey to that wonderful city.

At the end of June 2013, I got an offer from my office friend, Tupono, for a trip to Dieng. So, considering that I had not been to Dieng before, and the costs that he was offering were reasonably priced, Rp. 410k (approx. USD 40) for a 3 day 2 night trip, I agreed. Dieng plateau is known as the land above the sky because it's located more than 2000 meters above sea level. That's why Dieng is considered the highest city in indonesia.

CHASING THE GOLDEN SUNRISE IN THE LAND ABOVE THE SKY, DIENG PLATEAU

30 minutes before sunrise
Me and my friends at office decided to do the "runaway" vacation to Dieng Plateau. One of the interesting things to do is hiking to Mount Sikunir and enjoying the golden sunrise. Here's some picture of the golden sunrise that according to my friend, was the best sunrise in Southeast Asia. (EKW)
