Hello guys our destination this time is the Dieng plateau in the Wonosobo area
Have you ever heard of this name?
Dieng is very popular with the Indonesian people, especially those who live in the province of Central Java and its surroundings

The name Dieng itself according to the local community’s mythology comes from the words Die and Hyang which mean Beautiful and Rare

while Hyang is a word in Sanskrit that indicates something supernatural or mystical
Dieng is located at an altitude of about 2100-2200 meters above sea level and is surrounded by several mountains

When is the best time to visit Dieng
I think the best time to visit Dieng is during the dry season
because at that time the air temperature in the Dieng area decreases
So that it can reach 5 degrees, the air is very cold and even the grass can be white because it is covered by grains of ice.
And because it is covered with ice and becomes white, it makes tourist spots in Dieng even more beautiful
