Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (Taman Nasional Bromo Tengger Semeru)
Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, known locally as Taman Nasional Bromo Tengger Semeru (TNBTS) is a national park located in East Java, Indonesia, to the east of Malang and Lumajang, to the south of Pasuruan and Probolinggo, and to the southeast of Surabaya, the capital of East Java. It is the only conservation area in Indonesia that has a sand sea, the Tengger Sand Sea (Indonesian: Laut Pasir Tengger), across which is the caldera of an ancient volcano (Tengger) from which four new volcanic cones have emerged. This unique feature covers a total area of 5,250 hectares at an altitude of about 2,100 meters (6,900 ft). The massif also contains the highest mountain in Java, Mount Semeru (3,676 meters (12,060 ft)), four lakes and 50 rivers. It is named after the Tengger tribe.
The Tengger Sand Sea has been protected since 1919. The Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park was declared a national park in 1982.

Magnificent & Majestic Bromo, That was one of my best experiences , Yet is memorable experience . We started climbing at 4:00 am to ensure that we will catch sunrise . It was very cold (definitely) as we were way up above sea level . We took private trip with include Jeep with driver and a guide to show us the way . It was smooth trip however the locals quite disturbing us as they force us to ride the horse which we do not need as we intend to walk and climb as part of the experience . That’s only the bad part . However the rest was amazing trip . The scenery was beautiful , we reach exactly few minutes before sunset . Thought it was crowded but still we manage to find a spot to enjoy the mesmerizing sunrise with out cup of tea . Finally , it was amazing experience and will be our everlasting memories .

I have never seen anything like this. It's a must to visit. You can go with Jeep, horse, walking to reach the crater and the view points. We went by foot to see the sunrise from bromo cater view point. You can walk along the crater, although in the dark its quite challenging. Defo not suitable for kids! Bring mask to cover your mouth as the sulphur is really strong. After the sunrise we descend with horses and visited the semeru view point with jeeps. Starting your trip early will save you from the crowd, and the chance is higher to have clear weather for photos.

STUNNING! Enjoyed everthing about it. Been there twice, both wet and dry season. Dry season is the best with the clear weather, although the wet season would offer a different vibe with the mist.
