Bromo as tourist attraction
The journey through the west door of the pasuruan that went from village Tosari to go to the central attractions (sea sand) fairly heavy because the field must be taken not to pass by ordinary 4-wheeled vehicles is because the road climbing towards the derivation of sea sand is steep, but We hired a jeep provided by the tour manager, so a lot of tourists on foot to get to the center location. But if we go through the north door of the direction before entering the region of Probolinggo TONGAS, we will go to the village of Lawang Cemoro before falling into the sea of sand is not too heavy because of the derivative of the slope is not too steep so the bike can go through. Most tourists who want easy access to the sea of sand through this route. But if you want to watch the sunrise is often shown in the photographs, which many photographed from the top of your climbing is more practical then the path through the west door.
However, if you have the adventurous spirit then you can try the path less traveled way tourists. Malang is the town you go through the small town Tumpang Pronojiwo then entered the city and will go through a nature reserve which is very beautiful from here you will find the fork in the road towards the south which will enter Ranu Pane (towards Mount Sumeru) and towards the north you enter the ocean of sand Bromo in Bromo ridge south. The fork is called Jemplang. The journey begins with a down hill and were met with pasture (savannah) which gradually changed into a sea of sand. This road would pass around the mountain Bromo ocean of sand for about 3 hours. This point is not too steep and impassable bike, but need adventurous spirit because the track is still rarely passed and no one stopover or houses. We will actually presented with a very challenging journey. But your secret will be rewarded with another Bromo very rarely see tourists, the savannah grasslands and huge flowers beneath the hood of Mount Bromo. What a sight on the opposite side of the arid north and dusty. But remember, you should not through this route and at night or in foggy weather. Line will not be seen in this condition.
Sea of sand is the mainstay of Mount Bromo tour, in the cool mountain nature, we can see the desert and a vast grass. While most expected from the mountain Bromo is the sight view when the sun rises and sets because it would seem obvious and very beautiful. Although the trip to Bromo is very dusty, but not felt, because of the beauty that served really incredible.
Vacation to Bromo can be practical if you are pretty much like the type of traveler, and through the north door. You can make a visit within 12 hours, of course, if you start from the city of Surabaya, Malang, Jember and surrounding areas. Travel can begin from 12 hours of the night so you will arrive at about 2 to 3 in the morning. Where you can relax before seeing the sunrise. Sellers of food and beverages at the area’s sea of sand is usually open before 3 am, so you can get ready to make the climb over the top rung of the famous Bromo. Enjoy the scenery between 8-9 hours of the morning and you can back up your departure city around 12 noon. For the record, if you’re traveling in the area amid a sea of sand into the night, as a guide to the parking area around the temple you can see the stakes of the concrete that had been given as a pointer to the temple area. If you get lost do not be panic and move on (especially amid thick fog), just wait because it usually starts at 2 to 3 mornings a rental rider crossed the sea of sand area
