REVIEW : DIENG, THE MYSTICAL CITY ON THE SKY
i would like to review my
experience visiting Dieng. It spent about 4 hours on the way to go to Dieng
from Jogja. we went to Dieng about 10 am. Going to Dieng, we through Jumpot
Tourism place, there we could find many high trees line and belong monkey for
living, and we passed Tembi Tea Plantation, it was an amazing area for taking
some pictures there.
The way to go Dieang is quite amazing and confusing because
we had to pass between two mountains, Sumbing and Sindoro. After we were there,
for entrance fee we had to pay Rp. 20.000/person each ticket, for some objects
there, the fresh air, and cold atmosphere were so amazing
Located at an altitude of 2000
meters above sea level, Dieng community should be grateful for the abundance of
wealth which conferred upon their beautiful and exotic land. Dieng Plateau is
offering beautiful and interesting natural wonders, extreme tour in volcanic
crater, exotic local culture, and unique dreadlock kids phenomenon.
The first place that we visited
was Telaga warna, Telaga Warna is famous for unique and spectacular beauty. The
water of lake can change color when exposed to sunlight. Such as green and
yellow, similar to the color of the rainbow. This is because, the color of lake
water has a high sulfur content.
Second destination was Kawah Sikidang, a volcanic crater
with steaming vents and frantically bubbling mud ponds. Exercise extreme
caution here. there is no guard rails to keep you from slipping off the
sometimes muddy trails into the scalding hot waters
And last destination was Dieng temples itself, Dieng Temples
are known to have been built for the worship of the Hindu God Shiva, as can be
seen in a rare relief on the Srikandi temple of the Hindu Trinity God : Brahma,
Vishnu and Shiva. To the Hindu community at the time, Dieng was holy ground,
the abode of the gods. Not all temples were used for devotion, however. The
temple of Semar, for example, was used to store religious artefact.
If you are lucky and visited
there during in the middle of the year, the people surround there have several
ceremonies that will be held. Just for reminder, going Dieng the City on the
sky are quite better durring dry seasson, because during rainy season the fog
will overcloud all the area. While the road to go there are quite extrime, so
make sure everything is well-prepared and enjoy traveling.
