On of the not-too-be-missed-but-tough-to-achieve thing in Dieng. Well, it's tough for us Indonesian (who's accustomed to a nice 30degC tropical weather) to wake up early at dawn - the morning call at 4 am. Drive 20 mins and hike up to the mountain for another 20-mins, all in the dark and temperature…

After a tiring hike up the hill to reach this place - it felt nice to sit inside a dark room and watch a 20-min movie about the introduction of Dieng and the local culture (I bet lots of people felt asleep inside the theater while watching the movie!).
The view along the stairs which led to this bu…

This is the first spot where people normally stop to rest their back after a long road trip just before entering Dieng Plateau. A small hut with higher place to be able to see better view and the great view to Sindoro Mountain exactly in front of us and Sumbing Mountain a little bit blocked by Sindo…

At first I was pessimist that this museum is open as all the doors were closed and locked and nobody within sight. But good that the guard opened the door for us to look inside and even we didn’t pay for the entrance! It’s too bad that this place seems not very popular as it is located on top of…

The view along the stairs was great with an…

Called Mirror Lake – got its name from a very clam surface which looks like a still mirror. Even though it was one huge lake together with Telaga Warna, but the content of the water is completely different – with its rather boring greenish color this lake looks much more natural and lots of fish…

A small green lake located at the bottom of Mount Sikunir - this is the parking spot when we start to hike up the mountain to watch the sunrise.
