The active volcano Bromo sits in a moonlike landscape of mythical proportions and glorious charm. The volcano and its surroundings offer splendid sights. It stands in a gray-grayish ashen volcanic Sand Sea, surrounded by the towering cliffs of the crater’s edge. It forms a lunar-like landscape. While the savanna - bottle green during the raining season and goldish at the top of the dry season - borders Bromo to the south.
Mt. Bromo - 2392 m tall - is one of three volcanoes in an ancient caldera, that stretches 10 km across. Only Mt. Bromo's cone is active. Mt. Semeru is Java's highest peak - 3676 m - and blossoms behind Mt. Bromo when standing at the viewpoint Penanjakan north of Mt. Bromo. Semeru is also an active volcano and throws its ashes every 20 minutes. When Bromo's crater is smoking as well, the views are just sublime.

I booked my Mount Bromo trip through Shelter Hostel Malang, not only was it easy and convenient to book with them but the staff is incredibly helpful and always smiling. I was also able to book my train ticket through the hostel which was a plus! The hostel itself is also very nice with great food and comfortable beds. Highly recommended.
