The name of Bromo
derived from Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the name of Hindu creator God.
Mount Bromo is an active volcano and part of the Tengger massif in East Java
Indonesia. Its hight is about 2,329 m, it is not the highest peak of the
massif, but Mount Bromo is the most well known and most visited tourists
attraction in East Java. This volcano belongs to the Bromo Tengger Semeru
National Park. To enter the park an official IDR 50,000 or about US$ 5.55
permit must be purchased at one of the four entrance gates. The coordinate of
Mount Bromo is -7.947096° latitude and 112.956654° longitude.
The
best views from Mount Bromo is to see sand sea in the below and to see
volcanoes and surround at sunrise. The viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan can also
be reached by foot in about 2 h. Mount Bromo stands in the middle of a vast
plain called the sea of sand (Javanese: segara wedi or Indonesian: lautan
pasir). The typical way to visit Mount Bromo is from the nearby mountain
village of Cemoro Lawang. From there it is possible to walk to the volcano in
about 45 min, but it is also possible to ride a 4 Wheel Drive (jeep), which
includes a stop at viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan (2,770 m).
Visitors
who want to see the sunrise, usually come to this area since early morning.
Visitors must climb Mount Pananjakan which is the highest mountain in the
region. To reach the foot of Mount Pananjakan, you have to go through the sea
of sand that can make you get lost. We suggest for you who do not know this
area to rent a jeep and its driver.
Ambient
temperature here is about 10°C but sometimes down to 0°C in early morning
before sunrise. Visitor should prepare for cool cloth, hat, glove, sock, scarf.
If you do not bring these equipments, do not worry, because you can buy from
the street vendors who offering the wares. If we get above, there are several
cafes serving coffee or tea and a fire to warm the body while waiting for the
sunrise time.
Watching
the sunrise is an interesting event. But sometimes it is unlucky, because if
the sky is cloudy, the appearance of the sun is not clearly seen. However, when
the sky is clear, you can see the roundness of the sun first of all only a
small, slowly enlarge and eventually form a full circle and give light so that
we can see the views of the mountains in this area, including Mount Bromo,
Mount Batok and Mount Semeru (the highest mountain in Java).
After
watching the sunrise in the Mount Pananjakan, you can go down and then go up to
Mount Bromo. Sunlight make you see the scenery around it. You will see that you
have passed the sea of sand which covers 10 km², where arid area is filled with
sand and just a little overgrown dry grass.
To
reach the foot of Mount Bromo, you can not use the vehicle. Instead, you must rent
a horse at a price of IDR 100.000 (about US$ 11.00) or you can take a walk.
When you reach the foot of Bromo, you have to climb the ladder whose number is
about 250 stairs. Arriving at the top of Bromo (2392 m from sea level), you can
see the crater of Mount Bromo that emit smoke. You can also see the sea of
sand. It's really incredibly rare and unusual that you can see.
