Gunung Bromo (Java)

Gunung Bromo (Bromo Mountain) is beatifull and friendly mountain in Probolinggo - East java,Indonesia. I call friendly because since my first step there, l just feel a very friendly atmosphere that can make me relaxs and through away mystress in mind.

Ticket to buy
in the main gate of Bromo mountain, we have to buy the access ticket, one person is for about IDR 20.000, (about $2).

The Desert
After pass the main gate, we have to pass through the Desert. Do you ever go to the Desert in Europe or other country? feel hot right, but in here you'll feel soo cold and you'll smell strong sulphur aroma every where, better that we use masker to cover our nose and mouth from sand and sulphur. it's very beautifull desert, i guarantee that. we need about 30 menit to walk on the desert before we can reach the top of the mountain.

Pure
at the end of the desert, in the way going to the top we will see a mystical and beatifull Pure. this is a place where the original people sorrounding are pray to their Lord and ask for peace and the safety of their life. i strongly feel the mystical aura near the pure, mystic but beautiful.

Going to the top!
we can go to the top of the moutain by walk or by horse, our choice is depend on your healthy, energy and your money :) if we choose to walk then we have to prepare a lot of energy, so many stones spread in all over the way and the road went very upwards. but i think the waste energy can be covered by the very beatifull scenery that represent by Bromo, here, no need to spent any money at all, all is free of charge.
But if we choose to go by riding a horse, then we have to spent another IDR 50.000 (about $5) but we can totally enjoy the batifull landscape, and its really interesting experience to riding a horse, you should try someday.

Ladder
last journey to the top, we have to pass through the very steep, long and very narrow ladder, be carefull because this ladder is quite dangerous and we can be falling down.
we have to spent more energy here, because there are thousand step on it. we need to take a rest after some steps before going to the really top of the mountain. well do you brave to take the challenge? going to Bromo someday?

Finally, Top of Bromo Mountain
after so many challenge we pass through, finally we'll reach the TOP of Bromo mountain. lucky i'am that i'm in the top when sunrise. when you go to Bromo, make sure that you can reach the top at the sunrise, and you'll be amazing with the shows.
we can see the sun is cover our body and we can feel the warm of the sun, well, before sunrise the temperature is about 3 degree C. but when sunrise you can feel a little warm becuse of the sunrise.
the panorama is very beautifull, the smog, the sun, the mountain, the pure, well this is exactly God creature...
but you have to be carefull also, because have kawah sorrounding the mountain, if you just litlle careless you can fall down to the kawah.

journey to Bromo is un forgotten moment, you should come someday and complaint me if you can't see any beatifull thing there.
