In October 2012, I Visit Bromo Mountain in East Java -
Indonesia & Take some photos..
Mount Bromo (Indonesian: Gunung Bromo), is an active volcano
and part of the Tengger massif, in East Java, Indonesia. At 2,329 metres (7,641
ft) it is not the highest peak of the massif, but is the most well known. The
massif area is one of the most visited tourist attractions in East Java,
Indonesia. The volcano belongs to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The
name of Bromo derived from Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu creator
god.
Mount Bromo sits in the middle of a vast plain called the
"Sea of Sand" (Javanese: Segara Wedi or Indonesian: Lautan Pasir), a
protected nature reserve since 1919. 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 minutes, but it is also possible to take an
organised jeep tour, which includes a stop at the viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan
(2,770 m or 9,088 ft) (Indonesian: Gunung Penanjakan). The best views from
Mount Bromo to the Sand Sea below and the surrounding volcanoes are at sunrise.
The viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan can also be reached on foot in about two
hours. From inside the caldera, sulfur is collected by workers.
Depending on the degree of volcanic activity, the Indonesian
Centre for Vulcanology and Disaster Hazard Mitigation sometimes issues warnings
against visiting Mount Bromo. The list of outstanding warnings may be consulted
at the Indonesian-language website of the Centre.
