Mount Prau

Reviewed By javaprivatetour - Bogor, Indonesia

Still stuck in my memory of my first ascent in Central Java, I arrived at the summit of Mount Prau on that day to enjoy the sunset, the red sky turned orange and then turned bluish and then darkened, close my tiring day. And when I wake up in the morning, I deliberately hunt the sunrise and watch the black sky turn purple, the best moment is when the sun starts to rise slowly, Java Island is very exotic.

The best place to visit in the Dieng area. A nice and steep path makes it easy to capture every step at this location. Incredible views from the top of the hill, visible Kawah Sikidang and a Telaga Warna that make a wonderful photo background.

Telaga Warna

Reviewed By YogaEfendi - Yogyakarta Region, Indonesia

I am Yoga Efendi, a Traveler from Yogyakarta. Telaga Warna is a natural wonder in Dieng Plateau, Java Island - Indonesia. There are some best location to see this lake but I just give you my favourite spot, Batu Ratapan Angin. This spot is special coz you will see two different colors from the Giant Volcano rock. I recommend you to hire a guide in Dieng.
