Candi Dwarawati

A single ancient temple at the foot of Mount Prau, away from the crowds, overlooking the valley where Dieng village and the temple complex lie.

Candi Dwarawati sits on a slope at the foot of Mount Prau, on the north side of Dieng village. It is one of the higher-set temples in the Dieng complex, named after Dwarawati, the legendary kingdom of Krishna in wayang. The stone temple is structurally intact, surrounded by terraced vegetable plots. Visitors are few, making it ideal for quiet photos and valley views. It is about a 15 to 20 minute walk north from the Arjuna Complex, and the trailhead for Mount Prau from Dieng village is also nearby. Entry is usually free.
