Welcoming Christmas Without Snow: Four Cold Destinations in Indonesia

Christmas is identical with winter and snow, but in Indonesia, family warmth and special decorations characterize the celebrations. Even without snow, you can still feel the cold Christmas atmosphere by visiting places in Indonesia that have temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius. Here are four recommended tourist destinations that can be an option to celebrate Christmas with a chilly atmosphere:
- Dieng Plateau, Central Java
Known as the “Land Above the Clouds,” the Dieng Plateau offers temperatures that can drop to below 0 degrees Celsius during the early morning hours, especially in the dry season. The location is surrounded by panoramic views of mountains, volcanic craters, and historical temples that add to the beauty. - Jayawijaya Mountains, Papua
The Jayawijaya Mountains are the only location in Indonesia that has perpetual snow. With temperatures that can reach below 0 degrees Celsius, this destination is the perfect choice for those who really want to feel the cold Christmas atmosphere like in snowy countries. - Malino, South Sulawesi
Located in Gowa Regency, Malino is a highland destination that is easily accessible from Makassar. With temperatures ranging from 10-5 degrees Celsius, Malino is perfect for family travelers who want to enjoy fresh air and beautiful natural scenery. - Kelimutu National Park, East Nusa Tenggara
The Three-Colored Lake on Mount Kelimutu is one of Indonesia's natural wonders. The changing color of the lake water makes it unique. The temperature in this area is quite cold, especially in the morning, reaching around 5 degrees Celsius.
Each of these locations has its own charm that can provide a special Christmas atmosphere. If you're looking to cool off without having to leave the country, these destinations can be the perfect choice.
