Mount Bromo and Wonderful Scenery

 Here we want to share one beautiful place in East Java. It is Mount Bromo.

       When we are travelling to East Java, don’t miss to go to Mount Bromo. It will not be complete if you haven’t visited Mount Bromo because this place is very good for destination of travelling besides other places in East Java.
       The Mount Bromo Mountain is a beautiful mountain located in East Java, exactly it located in the center of Malang, Probolinggo, and Lumajang triangle, and it is included Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park which is the only conservation area in Indonesia, which has a unique form of sand sea covering an area of ​​5,250 hectares, is located at an altitude of ± 2100 meters above sea level.

       In the sea of sand found seven eruptive centers in the two paths that crisscross the east-west and northeast-southwest. Of northeast-southwest of Mount Bromo is emerging that includes the active volcano which at times may issue an eruption of smoke and threaten human life in the vicinity (± 3500 inhabitants).
       Mount Bromo has a crater with a diameter of ± 800 meters (north-south) and ± 600 meters (east-west). While the danger area of a circle with a radius of 4 km from the central crater of Bromo.

To view sunrise, you have to climb Mount Pananjakan which is the highest mountain in the region. Fields that must be traversed to get to Mount Pananjakan the rugged terrain. To reach the foot of Mount Pananjakan, you have to go through the desert-like area that can make you get lost. When I had to climb Mount Pananjakan, narrow streets and lots of sharp turns would require a high driving skills. To that end, many visitors choose to rent a car hardtop (a type jeep) driven by the community. The community is derived from the Tengger tribe is friendly with visitors.

       Here, the visitors can enjoy the scenery by hiking up Mount Penanjakan in time to catch the sunrise over Mount Bromo. It takes about one to two hours hiking to the first vantage point. Sun rises at 5.30am, therefore usually you have to plan when to start hiking depending on your fitness level. Maps and information are readily and easily available at one of the many official locations. Extra tip is that you may want to hike earlier to avoid the crowd and get a good spot as you may find a lot of people crowding the vantage point to view the sun rising over Mount Bromo. If you have the time and energy, there is another less-crowded vantage point higher up with unobstructed view of the sunrise. Find and scale the slope behind the shelter to get to the higher flat land.
       Trek down Mount Penanjakan and up to Mount Bromo summit. Here you can trek down and then across 3km sand of sea and then upwards to summit the caldera of Mount Bromo. It takes about one to two hours again depending on your fitness level.
       Mount Bromo is perfect for sightseeing unwind and cool the mind of the problems of the world. I’m also aspire to go to Bromo in the near future, may be accomplished. For day trips to Mount Bromo, we can use the style backpacker style. Yes, we can’t take the bus and let the vehicle later issued budget more efficient. For the inn, many are available ranging from luxury hotels to simple contract that is ready to be a place to unwind
       So don’t forget to get the beautiful scenery of Mount Bromo.
