The Dieng Plateau is an active volcanic area with several craters and offers stunning natural scenery and ancient temple ruins. Come explore the beauty of nature intertwined with the local culture, people and the distinctive taste of authentic food from local farmers.
Leave the hotel at dawn, and drive for the highest plateau on the island of Java, having an average elevation of more than 2,100 meters above sea level to enjoy the scenery of Dieng valleys. Feel the magic as the sun rises and the ray of light covers the Dieng Plateau mountain complex.
Proceed to other-worldly surroundings of Arjuna Temple where, at the heart of a wild natural landscape, stands the oldest Hindu temples in Java: 8 sanctuaries dating from the 7th and 8th centuries.
Afterwards, discover Sikidang Crater to watch the incredible volcanic activity of the plateau, famous for its sulfurous fumes and bubbling craters.
The volcanic soil of Dieng provides fertility for agriculture, bringing good fortune to farmers and producing the area's distinctive fried potatoes and carica papaya. Enjoy these unique local foods, and conclude your culinary exploration with a lunch of ongklok noodles, found only in the Dieng Mountain area.
The return journey to the hotel is by road, via the scenic route known as Swiss Van Java, while making a stop at Tambi Tea Plantation, situated at the foot of Mt. Sindoro. Since 1885, this sprawling 830-hectare plantation has been home to 1,100 workers, who expertly harvest approximately 7kg of tea leaves in just 20 minutes.
Observe the fascinating journey of tea from field to processing (factory closed Sundays), and finally conclude the day with a fragrant cup of freshly brewed tea on the plantation's scenic terrace. (B/L)
