I am convinced that most Malaysians have never heard of Desa Sembungan, believed to be the highest village on the Indonesian island of Java.
At about 2,450m above sea level, the temperature hovers around 24°C during the day and dips to 12°C at night. Between the months of October and May it could be as cold as 7°C at night.
