SEMERU AND BROMO MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE
A
challenging mountain trek, to attempt the peak of Mount Semeru at 3,676
m above sea level, an active volcano which is the highest in Java.
During the trekking, we pass over the beautiful high altitude volcanic
lakes, tropical rain forest, the grass land and the sub-alpine forest.
Explore
the natural phenomena of Mount Bromo in Bromo Tengger Semeru National
Park. Walking up the peak of Pananjakan to enjoy the natural beauties
such as the spectacular sunrise over Mount Bromo. We leave the hotel in
the very early morning and arriving at the crater rim in the dark and
looking down at the luminous glow of the sulphur, then sitting on the
narrow ledge watching the sun come up is a classic experience, but this
area also has a lot more to offer: Enjoy The world's best mountain
scenery, explore the spectacular Sea of Sand on a horseback or by foot,
that fills the caldera of Tengger mountains.
Meet the
local Tengger people, wrapped in cloaks riding around on their high
stepping ponies. This area is holy to the local Tenggerese who are the
only remaining Hindus in Java and thought to be the remnants of the once
powerful Majapahit empire. The dawn pilgrimage to the summit is an
ancient tradition.
EAST
JAVA
Geographically, much of East Java Province is flatter than the rest of
Java. In the north-west is lowland, with deltas along Brantas and
Bengawan Solo Rivers and km upon km of rice-growing plants. But the rest
of East Java is mountainous and hilly, containing the huge Bromo-Tengger
Massif and Java’s highest mountain, Gunung Semeru (3,676 M). This region
offers a raw, natural beauty and magnificent scenery.
