The Peak of Mangunan Located in the Mangunan area, Dlingo district, Bantul regency, DIY province. You only have to travel about 1 to 1.5 hours to get here. It is very easy for us to live in "Jaman Now/ today", just by using the application "google map" then we will be given the direction to the destination place. (except the location of paradise and soulmate, Hahaha)

Here, the air feels very cool. Well, if you want to enjoy and see the beautiful clouds here, it is recommended for you to go to the location around 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning. According to personal experience, I ever visited here at 7 am and only got to the location around 8 o'clock. But, I lost the moment to see the dawn cloud. The scenery I got was just like this:

Then, one thing that is not less important before you decide to go to this tourist location is to pay attention to the weather, be you travel in fine weather. Because the beautiful clouds are behind the sunny weather. (ha ha ha)

After enjoying the scenery, you can break and enjoy at the food stalls that are available in this location. The food is so delicious. There are Soto, Nasi Goreng, Bakso, Siomay and other menus which are special from Indonesia. After eating do not go home right away, because in the vicinity of Mangunan you can also visit Pine Forests of Mangunan which is very cool and shady.
