Mount Bromo, part of the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in East Java, Indonesia, is one of the country’s most iconic destinations. Renowned for its otherworldly landscapes, the active volcano attracts visitors from across the globe.
Standing at 2,329 meters, Mount Bromo is surrounded by the vast Sea of Sand, a protected volcanic plain that adds to its dramatic appeal. Visitors often trek or ride jeeps across the sand to reach the viewpoint for a breathtaking sunrise. The sight of the sun rising above the smoking crater, with Mount Semeru towering in the distance, is unforgettable.
Cultural significance also adds to Bromo’s charm. The Tenggerese people, indigenous to the area, hold the annual Yadnya Kasada festival here, offering rituals to honor their ancestors and the gods.
Mount Bromo’s accessibility from Malang or Surabaya makes it a must-see for nature lovers, photographers, and adventurers alike.
