RRI.CO.ID, Klaten - Bendungan Kendalsari or Kendalsari Dam in Kemalang, Klaten, offers a tranquil landscape where visitors can watch sunrise with Mount Merapi in the background. The artificial lake provides a peaceful setting for travelers seeking nature, photography, and a quieter side of the regency.
Located in Karangkendal Hamlet, Kendalsari Village, the site is around 30 kilometers north of Klaten city. The route passes through hilly terrain with several uphill and winding sections, but remains accessible by motorcycles and cars.
The calm surface of the reservoir becomes a natural reflection of the changing morning sky. As sunlight appears, golden colors spread across the water while Mount Merapi rises prominently in the distance.
Thin morning mist can sometimes add to the atmosphere around the reservoir, creating a scenic setting for photography. Visitors may also encounter birds flying around the area and observe local residents' activities near the water.
The reservoir's relatively quiet surroundings make it an appealing alternative to busier tourist destinations. Visitors can simply sit by the water, enjoy the cool mountain air, or capture the landscape with Mount Merapi as a backdrop.
For those planning to catch sunrise, arriving before dawn is recommended. Camping near the reservoir can also be an option for visitors who want to stay overnight and avoid traveling early in the morning.
Bendungan Kendalsari is generally open from around 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Entrance is free, although visitors may encounter voluntary contributions, while parking fees can vary depending on local management.
The destination demonstrates how Klaten's natural landscapes offer experiences beyond its famous springs and historical sites. With peaceful waters, mountain scenery, and an affordable visit, Bendungan Kendalsari is a worthwhile stop for travelers exploring the northern part of Klaten.
