Mount
Bromo East Java Indonesia SEMERU
AND BROMO MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE
A
challenging mountain trek, to attempt the peak of
Mount Semeru at 3,676 m above sea level, an active
volcano which is the highest in Java. During the
trekking, we pass over the beautiful high altitude
volcanic lakes,
 tropical
rain forest, the grass land and the sub-alpine
forest.
Explore the natural phenomena of Mount Bromo in
Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. Walking up the
peak of Pananjakan to enjoy the natural beauties
such as the spectacular sunrise over Mount Bromo.
We leave the hotel in the very early morning and
arriving at the crater rim in the dark and looking
down at the luminous glow of the sulphur, then
sitting on the narrow ledge watching the sun come
up is a classic experience, but this area also has
a lot more to offer: Enjoy The world's best
mountain scenery, explore the spectacular Sea of
Sand on a horseback or by foot, that fills the
caldera of Tengger mountains.
Meet the local Tengger people, wrapped in cloaks
riding around on their high stepping ponies. This
area is holy to the local Tenggerese who are the
only remaining Hindus in Java and thought to be
the remnants of the once powerful Majapahit
empire. The dawn pilgrimage to the summit is an
ancient tradition.
EAST JAVA
Geographically, much of East Java Province is
flatter than the rest of Java. In the north-west
is lowland, with deltas along Brantas and Bengawan
Solo Rivers and km upon km of rice-growing plants.
But the rest of East Java is mountainous and
hilly, containing the huge Bromo-Tengger Massif
and Java’s highest mountain, Gunung Semeru (3,676
M). This region offers a raw, natural beauty and
magnificent scenery.
