Dieng Plateau Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Dieng is 26km from Wonosobo (7000Rp, one hour), which is the usual access point. Buses continue on to Batur (3000Rp from Dieng), where it’s possible to catch a further bus to Pekalongan (12, 000Rp, three hours, 90km). The road is steep and bumpy but paved.

It’s possible to reach Dieng from Yogya­karta in one day (including a stop at Borobudur) by public bus provided you leaveearly enough to make the connection; the route is Yogyakarta–Magelang–Wonosobo–Dieng. Travel agents in Yogyakarta offer day trips that include Borobudur, but you’ll spend most of your time on a bus and generally end up seeing Dieng clouded in mist.
