Discover the True Beauty of Mount Bromo: Expectations vs Reality 😍

Bromo volcano is often hailed as the “place on Earth that most resembles the moon.” Imagine a sky filled with stars✨, a breathtaking sunrise🌄, and a sea of clouds☁️. After witnessing the sunrise, I took a car ride through the vast sand sea, a journey that left me with memories to cherish for a lifetime.

While you might think Bromo is just another volcano, it’s actually a trio of volcanic peaks‼️ The lonely, serene, and gray rocks seem to whisper tales of a world beyond our own🌍.

You might assume it’s an easy feat😌, but it’s far from it! Have you ever tried starting a mountain climb at 2 or 3 AM🧗? It’s freezing冷冷冷, and the journey is both dirty and tiring. Finally, after a grueling ascent, I reached the sunrise viewing platform. The wind💨 at the top was so fierce it gave me a pounding headache. It was truly exhausting and extremely challenging.

🚫My sincere advice about visiting Bromo volcano:
⭕️I don’t recommend it for those with poor physical condition. If you must come, take frequent breaks, rest when tired, and bring some food to replenish your energy.
⭕️Everyone starts early in the morning, climbing to the mountain top where the wind is strong, so it’s wise to bring a hat.

⭕️The round trip to the sunrise viewing platform takes about an hour, while the round trip to the crater takes 1.5-2 hours.
⭕️Wear comfortable shoes👟 suitable for walking.
⭕️The temperature before sunrise can drop to around 10 degrees, so it’s best to wear a fleece jacket or a hoodie plus a coat. However, have both short-sleeved and long-sleeved clothes, as the temperature at the crater can rise to 25 degrees or higher after sunrise.

⭕️Be sure to bring a mask and goggles, as you will end up covered in volcanic ash no matter what.
⭕️The top of the mountain is crowded, and there are cliffs nearby, which can be quite dangerous. Everyone must be careful when taking photos.
⭕️Find a Chinese-speaking guide!!! Otherwise, you might not understand anything.
