Dieng Culture Festival 4-6 Aug 2017

It is a pleasure to be invited by one of my best friends to Dieng Culture Festival. As we know that he rest of the past civilizations in the country over the clouds, packed in a romantic and romantic activity as the charmers of the passers who yearn for the blend of natural beauty, cultural uniqueness, and human hospitality.

Dieng or we call Dieng Plateau is a marshy plateau that forms the floor of a caldera complex on the Dieng Volcanic Complex near Wonosobo, Central Java, Indonesia. Dieng has a wet, subtropical highland climate. In winter there is much less rainfall than in summer. The average annual temperature in Dieng is 14C. About 2652 mm of precipitation falls annually.

My preparation for Dieng is more than usual as the temperature is around 8C to 14C. Some items I carry include:

1. My trusted camera Olympus OM-D E-M5 and mZD 12-40mm F2.8 which has dust, freeze, & drip-proof design.

2. Jacket.

3. Gloves.

4. Beanie.

5. Scarfs.

6. Mountain Boots.
