Bukit Dagi is a scenic hill located within the Borobudur Temple archaeological park complex in Central Java. Situated at a higher elevation than the main temple structure, it offers an unobstructed, elevated view of the Borobudur monument from the surrounding woodland area. The location serves as a site for leisure and cultural activities managed by the Borobudur Conservation Authority. It features pine tree groves and elevated wooden viewing decks that overlook the Menoreh Hills. The area functions as part of the wider tourist loop for visitors exploring the UNESCO World Heritage site surroundings.

Bring high-quality insect repellent, as the forested area is prone to mosquitoes.
Wear footwear suitable for walking on uneven, grassy, or dirt trails.
Carry a windbreaker or light layer, as the elevation makes the hill windier than the temple grounds below.
Do not attempt to traverse the forest trails after dark without a guide, as the paths are not illuminated.
Maintain a quiet volume to preserve the tranquility of the park; observe all 'no littering' signs within the forest area.
