I traveled to Bromo alone from Jakarta.

And it is a really nice escapade. we drove for about 3 hours from Malang... More

We drove from Surabaya to Mount Bromo and stayed at the strangely named but excellent "Java Banana Hotel" ( which I have reviewed separately). Mount Bromo is still active and stands at just over 2,300 metres and is one of the most widely visited sites in Indonesia. Firstly we drove from the hotel across the "sea of sands" and up... More

When I reached there... More
