ITINERARY
Mount Bromo sunset tour at viewpoint Mt. Pananjakan - start Malang
If you wish to avoid the "sunrise-crowd" at the worthwhile mount Penanjakan. Try the afternoon atmosphere in the area of East Java's most renowned volcano. In stead of waiting with a crowd for the sun to rise, chill out and enjoy the sunset.
You will be picked up at your hotel in Malang at 10:00 in the morning. This gives you time to enjoy your hotel and breakfast before checking out. Your Jeep will drive via Tumpang village and Ngadisari village to the savanna that adorns the Bromo. In Tumpang you will visit Jago temple. This small temple was built by the king Kertanegara Wisnuwardhana of the Singosari Kingdom. He built it to honor his father who died in 1268 AD.
From the temple it is a short drive to Pelangi waterfall. Pelangi means rainbow. Sometimes a rainbow decorate this waterfall, depending on the natural conditions at a certain time. The waterfall is set in a picturesque environment. After the waterfall, your driver will bring you to mount Bromo. You will cross the savanna south of Mt. Bromo and the black Sea of Sand. After your Jeep stopped, it will be a 45 minutes walk - one way - to get to the crater rim of Mt. Bromo. You will be expected back at your Jeep by 16:30, as around 17:00 the colors in the sky start changing. Mount Pananjakan is the perfect spot to witness the sunset.
When you are getting cold, it is time to depart. Back to Malang.
Be prepared: it might be dusty and cold around Mt. Bromo in the afternoon. Bring a scarf, some warm clothes and sun glasses.
