Punthuk Setumbu, Sunrise viewpoint in Magelang, Indonesia.
At 400 meters above sea level, Punthuk Setumbu presents a panoramic view of Borobudur temple between Mount Merapi and Mount Merbabu in Central Java.
Initially a regular plantation area, Punthuk Setumbu gained recognition after photographers documented its vantage point, leading to increased international tourism.
The viewpoint attracts photographers and nature enthusiasts who gather each morning to observe the sun rising over Indonesia's largest Buddhist temple structure.
Visitors can reach the summit via a well-maintained stairway from the parking area, with entrance fees of 20,000 rupiah for nationals and 50,000 for international tourists.
The observation point reveals different views each morning as fog, clouds, and sunlight create varying patterns across Borobudur and the surrounding mountains.
