Primarily named after the characters of the Hindu epic Mahabharata, the temple compounds located in the Dieng Plateau in Central Java has been dated as far back of the 7 th to 8 th Century CE. Even though most tourists venturing on cultural escapes in Indonesia frequently visits the world heritage sites of Borobudur and Prambanan Temple complexes, Dieng Plateau is frequently overlooked due to being unaware of its’ existence as much as difficulty of access. After all, the trip to the temple compound which is located nearly 2,100 m above sea level could take over 3 hours from Yogyakarta even with private transportation.
