The school holiday finally arrived, we and our travelling pants besties planned a trip to the āLand Above the Clouds,ā Dieng Plateau. Our 5 families drove in 5 cars to the pet-friendly cabin we rented for 3 nights. The drive itself took about 7-8 hours, with short stops in rest areas. Be careful when you drive to Dieng following Google Maps, because Google Maps will bring you via the fastest route but not necessarily the safest/best route. Check with your accommodation provider for the recommended route to get there.
When we arrived at the cabin, it was already close to sunset. It was foggy, and we were all tired from the drive. The very next morning after breakfast, we all drove to Arjuna Temple. Our pooches were allowed in the garden area, but were not allowed inside the gate of the temple area. So I stayed behind with the pooches and let everyone else go inside. It didnāt take long for them to explore, they soon came out and we moved on.
The next stop was lunch! We went to Kedai Ongklok. The doggos waited patiently in the car while we had our meal.

We then came back to our cabin. The rain had stopped but it was still misty and foggy. It was a pretty sight!
The following day was the highlight of our trip, this is something that most tourists do in Dieng: Dieng Jeep Tour! I booked the tour via Ady from Jeep Atas Awan, +6281391053340.
We were picked up at our cabins before the sun and the chickens woke up, and we went in Jeeps to one of the sunrise spots. When we arrived, the hill was already pretty packed with tourists but we were able to enter and it was a beautiful sunrise regardless.
Our next stop after sunrise was a field where they usually hold the Dieng Culture Festival. At the time when we were there it was an empty field of grass, frosted from the chill of the night. We parked the Jeeps and took some pictures before moving on.
We havenāt had our breakfast yet, so we went back to our cabin to fuel up and then we continued our Jeep adventure. We visited a waterfall, drove through a large, hilly farm area dubbed Swiss van Java, climbed up a viewing platform at Batu Ratapan Angin, drove through a tea plantation, and stopped at a few other places. It got too hot closer to midday so we wrapped up and headed back to the cabin. From our 3 furbabies, I think only Yuki enjoyed the Jeep ride. The other two still enjoyed the stops and walks though, so it was still worth it to take them.
