Mount Bromo Off Road

I  have been wanting to travel to Mount Bromo, Probolinggo, East Java for quite a while despite of having traveled there more than twice. The last travel was twenty years ago, my memory is still full of vivid greenery along the whole foothill scattering around a hotel we were staying.

On the contrary my main objective is not mountain views, sunrise nor sunset scenery, but merely to see and look at those local farmer planting their veges crop at the steepest part of such hilly Bromo Mountainaries. I am about to be disappointed.

In favour of Hotel Property development the farm areas has shifted away from visitor common view scenery. Yes those farmers are still better off than any other region's and to the relieve of such disappointment the Tourism Places has extended since then. An additional with much more spectacular sunrise spot lookout has recently been developed and it is also located further away requiring four wheeling adventures.


It takes a decent fully functions Toyota Land Cruiser fj40 to appreciate the adventure. So after a good cold rest, I mean a really cold weather (so prepare for such steep temperature drop by arming yourself with Tips To Carry Along) at the 2nd day before dawn it begins...
