PUNTHUK SETUMBU
Punthuk Setumbu Hill is one of the best spots to watch the sunrise with the background of Mount Merapi Merbabu and see the magnificent Borobudur Temple in the morning surrounded by a sea of fog. It’s no wonder that Punthuk Setumbu has become a favorite location to watch sunrise for foreign tourists and also a favorite spot for photographers.

Punthuk Setumbu is a hill approximately 400 meters above sea level located in the Menoreh Mountains. This place used to be a resident’s field. But after a photographer captured the beautiful Borobudur sunrise from this place, people came to visit this place to watch the sunrise. Travelers who want to witness the beauty of Borobudur at dawn are advised to arrive at this place before 05.00 WIB. From the parking lot at the foot of the hill, tourists have to trek about 15 minutes to reach the top with a route in the form of macadam and dirt roads. For those who are not strong enough to trek to the top, not far from the parking lot there is a gazebo where tourists can already see Borobudur from a distance.

The peak of Punthuk Setumbu is a large courtyard surrounded by a guardrail. In this place there are houses on stilts, gazebos, and wooden chairs that can be used to sit waiting for the sun to rise. Although the trekking trip in the morning is a little tiring, it will pay off when watching the sweep of Borobudur fog that slowly lifts up and the sun that emerges from behind the mountain shyly. Happy traveling.***) Widodo Anwari
