The beauty of Mount Prau

Mount Prau is a mountain located in Wonosobo Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. More precisely located in the Dieng plateau, this mountain has a very extraordinary beauty and has a height of about 2590 meters above sea level.

With a height that is not too high and has a very impressive beauty, this mountain is often visited by novice climbers. For novice climbers it may take 4 hours to get to the top because the climbing terrain on Mount Prau is very easy.

There is also the Patak Banteng basecamp, where the hiking trail is very close to the peak of Mount Prau, and if we climb through the Patak Banteng hiking trail we can climb faster to get to the top in less than 3 hours.

For those of you who have arrived at the peak, we can immediately set up a tent to relax while drinking coffee, eating snacks, joking with friends, breathing fresh air over the mountains and of course enjoying the very impressive scenery.

There we can see views from other mountains near Mount Prau, namely Mount Sindoro and Mount Sumbing, the two mountains are often called Twin Mountains because they are close together and have almost the same height.

And when night comes we can see how beautiful the view of the sky there is full of stars and we are also presented with a beautiful view of the silhouette of Mount Sindoro and Sumbing.

This will be a very extraordinary experience of course for those of us who have been to Mount Prau and camped there, if you know that once a year in Dieng village there is a festival, and there is also a lantern festival, so if we climb when the festival is held we can witness the beauty of the lanterns that are flown.

Just a suggestion for you if you want to climb the mountain, you try during the dry season, not during the rainy season because it's useless we can't see the scenery there because it's covered with overcast clouds.
