Mount Bromo

Mount Bromo or Gunung Bromo is one of Indonesia´s most breathtaking sights. Among the major peaks in Indonesia, Mt. Bromo is located on the 2.392m high above sea level. Mt. Bromo is apart of Tengger – Semeru National Park. The steaming cone of Bromo stands in a sea of ashen, volcanic sand, surrounded by the towering cliffs of the crater´s edge. There are some peaks at this national park, and Mt. Semeru is the highest peak and one of the most active volcanoes.






Mt. Bromo is reachable by walking down the crater wall and across the desert for about 3km to the slopes of Bromo. After passing 253 steps, the steaming, sulphurous guts of the volcano can be seen from the lip of the crater. Instead of walking down, riding horse is another alternative to reach the crater
Watching the sun rise spectacularly over Mt Bromo is the highlight of any trip here.
Visit in the month of Kasada (usually in September-November) and witness the annual Kasada festival where the local Tenggerese come to Bromo to throw offerings of vegetables, chickens and money into the crater of the volcano.  

The temperature at Mt Bromo ranges from 3 to 20 degrees Celsius but the temperature may be several degrees below zero during the dry season.  If you can’t stand cold weather, you should bring a jacket, gloves and a head cover or cap. After the sun rises, the weather becomes hot pretty fast.

Don't forget to bring a camera or handycam so you can capture the natural beauty.
