Experience Unforgettable Moments: Why Seeing Beautiful Scenery with Family is Irreplaceable

Mount Bromo, nestled in the eastern part of Java Island, Indonesia, stands majestically at 2,329 meters above sea level. Its crater, a natural wonder, spans 800 meters from north to south and 600 meters from east to west.

The most recent eruption of Mount Bromo took place in 2011, with volcanic ash soaring to heights of 600 to 800 meters. This iconic mountain is not only a geological marvel but also one of Indonesia’s premier stargazing destinations. Astronomers and astrophotographers flock here to capture breathtaking views of the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, and the Magellanic Clouds.

Located less than 10 degrees south of the equator, Mount Bromo offers an unparalleled vantage point for observing the night sky and meteor showers of the Southern Hemisphere, such as the Southern Taurids.

Visitors can explore Mount Bromo via numerous viewing platforms, accessible by jeep. Arriving early allows you to park near the platforms, saving you a considerable amount of walking. If you arrive later, you’ll need to hike up from halfway up the mountain, adding to the adventure.

Once you’ve parked near the viewing platform, you can stop at a small roadside shop to refuel with tea, coffee, or instant noodles, though be prepared for slightly higher prices. A warm snack will help keep the chill at bay, and the instant noodles, especially the dark green cup variety, are surprisingly delicious. For budget-conscious travelers, consider purchasing instant noodles from a local supermarket in advance for just 4K.

For our trip, we opted for the most renowned and largest car rental company in the area, and it was a fantastic choice! The service was impeccable, and the price was incredibly affordable. A four-day, three-night package that included visits to Mount Bromo, Ijen Crater, and Sewu Waterfall cost only 1500 RMB.

This comprehensive package covered the driver, guide, and accommodation, with the option to stay at the best local hotels. Our guide even went the extra mile, taking us to buy durians, teaching us how to select the best ones, and helping us haggle for the best prices. It was truly a butler-style service that made our trip unforgettable!
