Gunung Bromo Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Mount Bromo🌋: Indonesia’s Volcanic Beauty
Indonesia🇮🇩 not only boasts beautiful beaches and a romantic atmosphere, but also harbors an extreme adventure secret – volcano climbing! 🌋 Mount Bromo, a place featured as Indonesia's cover by Lonely Planet🌍, is known for its beauty, but witnessing it in person is truly awe-inspiring.
📍Lonely Planet's Mount Bromo🌋
An active volcano in East Java, Indonesia, the rumbling depths of the volcano instill a sense of awe. At sunrise, the dreamlike, smoky volcano crater is illuminated by golden sunlight. It feels like stepping onto the moon, marking the beginning of a life-changing journey. 🌄
🧗♀️Climbing Guide
▪️ Difficulty: 🌟🌟🌟
▪️ Depart at 2:30 am and take a Jeep ride. 🚙
▪️ Arrive near the viewpoint at 4 am, then a 20-minute hike to the summit viewpoint. 🏔️
▪️ Rest from 4:30-5:00 am, find a good spot; sunrise at 4:30, with the best lighting at 5:00! ☀️
▪️ Descend at 6:00 am, capture photos with the Jeep on the grassy terrain (confirm the Jeep's color and appearance the day before to stand out in your photos). 📸
❗️🌋 Important Tips!!!
1⃣️ Dress warmly with layers! The mountaintop before sunrise is very cold. For those wanting great photos, consider a "layered" outfit, so you can remove outerwear easily for photos. 🧥❄️
2⃣️ Wear hiking boots or sturdy shoes as the volcanic ash can be slippery, and some paths are steep. 👞🌋
3⃣️ Wear an N95 mask at Mount Bromo to protect against the huge dust. 😷
4⃣️ Practice your poses for photos the day before. Otherwise, you might freeze up on the spot, especially with a crowd watching, causing stiffness and nervousness. 📷😅
5⃣️ Bring a drone if you have one; aerial shots are truly breathtaking! 🚁

Mount Bromo in East Java, Indonesia, is a captivating natural attraction. Its main draw is the awe-inspiring sunrise, where visitors can witness a stunning panorama of volcanic landscapes from the Penanjakan viewpoint. The sight of the sunrise casting vibrant colors over the surrounding peaks is a truly breathtaking experience. Another highlight is the volcanic crater, which can be reached by trekking across a vast expanse of sand. The smoking crater against the backdrop of majestic mountains creates a surreal and memorable scene.

The sacredness of Mount Bromo
Mount Bromo is a Sacred Place, There Are Prohibitions That Must Be Followed Mount Bromo is not just a tourist spot. For the Tengger people, Mount Bromo is a sacred place related to their ancestors. The story of the sacredness of Mount Bromo is associated with the legend of Joko Seger and Roro Anteng. Until now, the people of Tengger believe that no one is allowed to do bad things in Bromo. Especially in the area of the sea of sand and sacred craters. According to the traditional leader of the Tengger Probolinggo tribe, the sacredness of Mount Bromo can be seen from the number of steps leading to the crater whose whereabouts are not known. Every tourist who comes there and counts the number of steps, the results will be different. They also explained the possibility that because of the terrain and remote location, tourists are not focused. But he also doesn't believe that this is part of Bromo's sacredness. Therefore, tourists who come and go up to Bromo Crater must pay attention to the prohibitions set by Tengger Bromo residents. These include the prohibition against urinating facing Mount Bromo, throwing stones into the crater, and taking things from around Bromo to take home.#mountainview #spooktaculartrip

Smokey Bromo
One of the more popular and still active volcanoes in Indonesia is Mount Bromo. I had the chance to see the majestic creation in 2014.
We were on a tour package as it saves so much time and effort, and it isn’t that expensive. Plus driving your own vehicle into the volcano area is not allowed.
The journey started with a sunset view at King Kong Hill where we oversee Gunung Batok. Then we were driven to Segara Wedi and we had to walk around 250 steps up to the crater. Some can opt to ride a horse but it wont bring you near the volcano mouth.
Once you get to the top of the crater rim, you get a clearer and full view directly into the crater! Although it is cool to be near the crater with smokes coming out from it, please be extra careful since there are no fences or barriers to keep you from
not falling into the crater.

A must-see blue flame in this lifetime
Here is a nanny-level guide to the itinerary of the Indonesian Ijen Volcano:
🌋Itinerary
1️⃣0:00 Depart from the hotel🏨, the journey is far, please go to bed early the night before💤.
2️⃣2:00 Arrive at the foot of the mountain🌋, receive the gas mask😷 and goggles🥽 distributed by the guide, organize your backpack🎒, and go lightly.
(On the way up the mountain, you can choose to ride the local human-powered cart "Lamborghini" at any time, the one-way price is about 500💰, of course, the closer to the end, the cheaper.)
3️⃣Around 4:30 to reach the top, the time varies from person to person.
🌋Check-in points
1️⃣Tree rights: Walk inside the mountain top⛰️ to see tree branches of different sizes, those who are queuing are basically excellent 📷positions
2️⃣Small platform: The small platform under the tree rights, this place is very photogenic, you can take pictures of the volcano🌋 and sulfuric acid lake
3️⃣Right side of the summit: Here you can see the sea of clouds☁️ and the mountain top⛰️
💼Recommended items to bring: Gas mask😷, goggles👓, wet wipes🧻, tissues, Snickers, drinking water
❗️ If you want to go down to the volcanic lake to see the blue fire, it is best to choose a protective mask with eye mask, because sulfur is very irritating to the eyes.
World Tour 18th Country|Double Volcano Indonesia is here
Highlights of the itinerary:
1. Bromo Volcano, the place on earth that most resembles the moon, to listen to the roar from the depths of the earth
2. Ljen Volcano, the world's largest high-acid lake, feel the beautiful sunrise cloud sea and blue lake match
3. General Madaj waterfall, Indonesia's second highest waterfall, with a drop of 200 meters, because the road was blocked by heavy rain during the race, changed to General waterfall. You will pass through the waterfall during the journey, but I personally think there are many waterfalls in China, if time is tight, you can skip
4. Magic Forest, a small scenic spot, very photogenic when the sun is out, prepare 2-3h time, go as appropriate
5. Mysterious Komodo
The Komodo day tour is really a surprise, the legendary version of Padar Island, pink beach, jelly sea crescent bay, Komodo dragon, snorkeling to see Nemo, is the most rich day trip I have experienced.
6. Komodo sunset, too beautiful, watching the sky change from orange to pink to blood red, can't bear to blink, beat Bali haha.
7. Bali
I went there for a rest in the middle, Bali is really third-rate scenic spots, second-rate beaches, first-rate hotels, I didn't go to the scenic spots, just picked a net red hotel Ayana to stay for two nights, feel good.
wonderful banyuwangi
Ijen Resort and Villas is a materialization of a dream. A long time dream which stayed in mind during some decades.
The First Inspiration
The story of Ijen Crater was heard for the first time from an old uncle who happened to be sent there joining forced workersīó by the japanese army in the second world war period. It was in his childhood time.
The Solitary Crater, it is so called because of its position, alone out of reach and out of nowhere. It sounded rather intriguing. The old uncle said that it took the whole day walk to cross through the dark jungle, to arrive in a vast open plain area where they had to spend the night before hiking up the mountain on the next day. And the crater was the only interest because it spit out large quantity of sulfur.

The area of the zoo is very big, so if you feel that you can't walk much, it is better to rent the battery car vehicle which can be used around the park. There are lots of varieties of animal inside this zoo and there is a dedicated theme park for kids as well. It has safari track as well where we can sit in the provided vehicle and feed the animals inside. It is very important that you go to the safari farm as you can see and personally feed animals like camels, hippo, deer, and antelope. The earlier you come the better as it will take you the whole day to circle around the area. Upon arrival, check the customer care desk for discounts/promo. If you are landing to Malang, then make sure not to throw the boarding pass as you can get promotions.

Malang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
This Resto Reminds me of IKEA
This is Kotask Kaffe Co. in Langsep Malang. Since it's a Swedish themed Cafe, I instantly think of IKEA 🤣 they even sell Swedish Meatball.
The place was nice, simple minimalist design with a bit of wood accent.
I tried banana smoothies with dates, called Power O'Nana. It was just okay. The lemon tea was good, black tea was strong enough, the lemon was not overly sour, and not too sweet.
I tried the Chicken Spinach Pie, tasted good but the pastry was hard to cut and chew :( My husband said the Javanese Fried Rice was nice.
Too bad we didn't try the coffee. Overall, it was a good time.

Cool Concept of Diorama Malang🌟
This is an F&B complex in Sulfat, Malang. It was like a foodcourt, but each counter in a different little building. A great place to hang out, especially with Malang's cool weather. There were many choices of foods and drinks, and many good instagrammable spots, too. I bet you'll like it here!

💕Delicious Foods and Drinks at Mier 💕
It was my first time trying Mier Dessert & Pattiserie in Malang. The place wasn't really big, because it was in a "ruko", but enough and comfy.
Drinks were all tasted good! The coffee was good, green tea blend was good and not too sweet, so was the strawberry drink. We ordered a croissant sandwich, and salad, and they were all great.
The service was also good. Although the price was pretty expensive, but it was worth the taste and portions.

Probolinggo Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The train on Java Island, slowly driving on the vast land, during the sleepy old man, naughty children, busy hawkers, greet each other. It is a great place to taste authentic Indonesians.
Have a relaxing and enjoyable time in the small town of Yogyakarta. In the early morning, I jumped on an old train and headed for Pang Yue in the north. Sitting on such a nostalgic train, time seems to be getting slower.
Hundreds of life, it is unfolding in this small space, letting people feel the bits and pieces of these ordinary people.
