A HIKE THROUGH THE BROMO-TENGGER-SEMERU NATIONAL PARK

  People who are fascinated by mountains are usually addicted to hiking. They will take every opportunity to slip out of town for a journey to the mountain. It was the lure of a mountains that took us (five altogether) on a hiking trip to the Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park in August last year.

Mount Bromo
From Ranupane, our next hike was up Mount Bromo, famous in and outside Indonesia Those who have been there know that Bromo's best attraction is the wide sea of sand by the edge of the mountain's crater. Visiting Mount Bromo is complete only when you have witnessed the sunrise and taken pictures of the event to prove you've been there. For this, we spent two days in Cemara Lawang, the village closest to Mount Bromo.
