This temple has a resemblance to the Dieng temple complex in Wonosobo. This temple is situated at an altitude of about 1200 m above sea level so the air temperature is quite cold here (ranging from 19-27°C). Location of nine temples scattered on the slopes of Mount Ungaran has beautiful natural scenery. In the surrounding area there are also neatly arranged pine forests and hot water springs that contain sulfur.
