Dieng Plateau Day Trip from Yogyakarta

Worth the drive! about 4 hrs journey from kota jogja including restroom breaks, the ride was smooth and seamless. we had Fery as our driver and he was very hospitable throughout! Weather here is sunny but cooling. Dwi was our guide when we reach Dieng, he brought us up Dieng view point, Skikidang Crater and Arjuna temple. There wasn't much visitos here, mostly local tourist so it was a great day trip overall! Both guide and driver were patient as they waited till my husband ended his friday prayer in the Mosque

We only arranged for a car. There was some construction traffic on the way, so it took a while, but we were able to relax and enjoy our stay there. We paid for the entrance fee and parking fee ourselves, but the driver took us to the ticket booth so we didn't have any problems. They were also flexible and let us stop by on the way back, so we had a very fulfilling time. The return time is 2:30 p.m., but if you take your time sightseeing, it's probably impossible to get back at that time, so if you don't have much time, be careful.

Description of places is the same as in real life. Beautiful plateau with the colour lakes. We were brought to so many picturesque spots. We also had the chance to see some hydrangeas! Weather was a bit chilly in the mountains so do wear clothes that keep you warm. only required some climbing of stairs and walking, not too tiring though. Tour fare is based on vehicle. Entrance fees are not included, which are around Rp 10k - 50k per place. Our English speaking guide was very good and informative in his commentary and he also knew where are the photo spots at each location. Overall tour is highly recommended!

extremely cold, ensure you wear thick jackets and pants. tour guide was punctual. there are food stalls selling hot drinks, steamed corn, eggs, etc which is nice to eat in that weather. beautiful sunrise but the place was packed. lots of stairs climbing

It might get relatively cold during the morning (5-15C), it's better to bring a jacket on. (I was wearing T-shirt & shorts). When we went up, the temple seems to be heavily commercialized, the rest was decent.

my driver Evam was very hospitable and courteous and the pickup and drive to and from was seamless and posed no issues. the reason I gave 4 stars for value and impressiveness was for two reasons. 1 - the color lake park that we went to was not very nice, it was more for children than adults but did offer a great view of the lake. 2- the hot springs experience was very dull (nothing to do with our guide at all) it was also dirty and not very fun. the temple experience was very nice and I enjoyed it thoroughly. the drive was very long, but offered great views of the country side and getting out of Yogyakarta for the day after going to prom and borobudur was good, there is not much to do in the city center of Yogyakarta. I would suggest skipping the hot springs and color lake and try to spend the day in Wonosobo, a wonderful plateau small city that we drove through twice and had I had known I would have loved to spend a few hours exploring and buying local crafts. overall, I would take the 3 or 4 hours drive but I would figure out with the driver to stay in Wonosobo, you will see what I mean if you take this trip. we did have a fun time, but VERY, long drive.

We set off at midnight and took almost four hours to reach the plateau. It was very cold, so you had to bring enough clothes. There are motorcycles available from the parking lot to the trailhead. The price is 50,000 Indonesian rupiah per person, including the return trip. The terrain is undulating and the road is rugged. , it is very exciting and fun to ride with children. When you get to a dark place, be sure to follow a crowded place. If the stairs are particularly steep, it is best to use trekking poles and non-slip shoes. It may be hard to climb in the middle of the night. It has something to do with not sleeping well. The beautiful view when you reach the top is really worth it!

The Most of Beautiful DIENG 😇 Easy access, 4 hours road trip from Yogyakarta. You can enjoy a lot of beautiful spots such as temples, lakes.

Ucup was our driver, he was a chill person which fit perfectly for us. He make stops along the road for us to take pictures. We overshoot the time but he never complain. Dieng is a wonderful place to visit with cool temperatures. Most locations have a entrance fees or Rp 10k-20k. One of the place we skip was Dieng park due to the high entrance fees.

The driver was very enthusiastic, talked happily, drove carefully. The scenery is beautiful, the most impressive is Sinukur peak at dawn, very wonderful 😍 Klook is always the first choice for tours and convenient services when traveling.
