Now it’s time to conquer Sikunir Hill, one of the top destinations in Dieng which offers a vantage point from approximately 2,300 meters above sea level. It is known for its golden sunrise and sea of clouds, but its beauty doesn’t vanish after it.
The hill and its surroundings offer a serene atmosphere that can be enjoyed throughout the day. The afternoons might provide a different landscape perspective, with the sun high in the sky and the visibility potentially clearer. It could be a good time for photography or simply to enjoy the tranquility of the area without the early morning crowds.
The hike to the summit is relatively easy, taking about 30-45 minutes, making it suitable for beginners and experienced trekkers. Make sure to check the local weather conditions before hiking, as the area can be prone to afternoon mists or rain, which might obscure the views.
6.00 PM – 7.00 PM: Sunset at Dieng Plateau
As the sun dips below the horizon, the Dieng Plateau transforms into a magical landscape bathed in golden light. The area is a caldera complex featuring a variety of attractions, including multicolored lakes, ancient temples, and terraced hills.
The sunset is a painter’s palette come to life, with hues that will make your heart sing. Find a cozy spot and soak up the beauty (and maybe snap a few more pics for good measure).
Remember, the weather can change quickly in highland areas, so it’s always a good idea to check the local forecast and be prepared for cooler temperatures as the sun goes down.

The barista, a passionate coffee enthusiast, ensures that each brew, from robusta to arabica, is crafted to perfection. Their Bowongso coffee can be enjoyed with a V60 and comes highly recommended for its fruity aftertaste.
You can find Western, Japanese, and Indonesian dishes on the menu, with a focus on quality and taste. The signature dish, sop iga (beef ribs soup), is a testament to their commitment to flavor.
