Gunung Prau — Attraction in Central Java

Mt. Prau is in the village of Dieng, Wonosobo, mid Java, is a great place for camping and hiking, 2565 meters above sea level. The track is not too difficult to pass. there were three lines when I got there, Bull route, Wates village, and I forgot the other one. My trip to this location started from Jakarta by using bus transportation services from Terminal Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta to Wonosobo Terminal, from there I boarded public transportation to the Wonosobo traditional market to buy some needs like vegetables while hiking later. Not far from the traditional market, there is a transportation service to Dieng village at a cost of around 10-20k (IDR). The temperature in this area is quite cold when the summer can reach 5 ° C. Mt. Prau is a rock mountain that does not have many springs, my advice is that you have to bring enough water, because some of the springs in this mountain have been used by local people for the needs of the village so that it cannot be...

As someone who’s never hiked a mountain before, climbing Gunung Prau was both terrifying and magical—but honestly, 100% worth it!

Won't lie, but my legs were screaming every ... 10 / 15 mins :) "Why did i get myself into this suffering?" But the trail was surprisingly manageable for a first-timer like me. The key? Bring yourself a lot of helpful companions 😊 plus they need to be super patient. Take ur time, rest when u need to!

The view at the top? UNREAL. We camped overnight and waking up above the clouds to that golden sunrise with the silhouette of Sumbing and Sindoro in the distance—it felt like something out of a dream. The air was (very very) cold but fresh, and the stars at night were the clearest I’ve ever seen.

Even though Gunung Prau did steal my heart, but I guess that will be the only mountain hiking experience that I...

On August 10th was my first time hiking this mountain. It wa an amazing experience. We can see Sindoro & Sumbing Mountain from it's summit. More over, it has a very large area of summit, so many angle of views you can get there just to enjoy the beautiful sunrise or sunset. And so many spots to build the camp. It's just so many rules to follow too if you want to hike and camp on this mountain. There are 4 Basecamps there which you can chose where ever you want of the starting point to hike and each path of each basecamp has different challenges.

It was the best experience I've ever had to hike this mountain. I can't wait another chance to hike this mountain again.
