Dieng Plateau Sunrise & DIY Walking Tour ๐ฟ
Dieng Plateau in Central Java is a hidden gem thatโs perfect for travelers looking for cool mountain air, stunning landscapes, and a touch of ancient history.

The peaceful vibe, photogenic scenery, and friendly locals make it a relaxing escape from the city buzz.
Fun Facts:

๐ญ Every year, the locals celebrate the โDieng Culture Festival,โ where dreadlocked children get a special haircut in a sacred ceremony.
