Bromo in my head is a small picture on a postage stamp on a collection frame in the teacher's room when I was in elementary school, or a landscape picture with too sharp color composition on the calendar that my mother got from a regular gold shop, or one of the pages in an encyclopedia of the Indonesia natural beauty series.
I never even imagined being here before!
Still with the same team members when climbing Semeru in the previous post, I and thirteen of my friends went to Bromo from Ranu Pani.
JOURNEY BEGINS
All members finished climbing Semeru and gathered at Ranu Pani at 06.30 p.m. We took turns queuing for a shower, because the bathroom provided only had ten doors for hundreds of visitors.
When finished, all members rested while waiting for the Jeep that we rented to come and take us to Bromo.
Because there were 14 of us, Mr. Ibad as the leader rented two Jeeps. And we were divided into two groups.
UNFORGETTABLE BASO TUMPANG
This trip happened four years ago, but, there is something I can't forget about Ranu Pani; the meatballs are delicious and cheap!
The name is Tumpang baso, maybe because some of the sellers come from Tumpang sub-district, or indeed the baso comes from there. But it's delicious! The broth is tasty, fresh and not too salty. Don't use noodles, the meatball texture is solid and the meat tastes good. The price is only IDR 10000 per bowl.
I often tell my friends, I miss Tumpang baso!.
CLIMB AGAIN
At 01.00a.m our Jeep arrived. All the members who were asleep, were immediately woken up to pack up, and get ready to start the journey.
For your information, the air at Ranu Pani is colder than Ranu Kumbolo! My friend and I shivered. It's so cold.
The Jeep was speeding because it was chasing time, so we can enjoy the sunrise from the start. So we can't be late. The road we went through was uneven and there was a lot of dust, we couldn't see the terrain we were passing because it was too dark. We chose to go back to sleep because there were still three hours before arriving at the location .
04.30 a.m. The Jeep stopped in a parking lot with uphill terrain. When you go down, there are already dozens of Jeeps lined up to the top. We have arrived at Mount Bromo. Just my guess, now the air temperature is below five degrees Celsius. My feet are hard to even move because of the cold. I've worn clothes and a thick jacket and two-fold gloves. A red beanie hat, and a scarf to cover my nose because the dust was scattered everywhere.
The road continued to climb and our members were scattered looking for corners to watch the sunrise. There were already a lot of visitors who mounted their cameras on tripods.
PHOTO SPOTS
Visitors do not worry about the best photo spots in Bromo tourism. Here are provided several spots that are specifically used by visitors to take photos
This is the bottom photo spot. Visitors can clearly see the caldera of Mount Bromo from here. My friends, Ipin and Raya, who are a couple, took a photo for a proposal pose with an Edelweiss flower property that was indeed sold in this tourist area.
To get to this second photo spot, visitors must walk up. Climb again. The distance is quite far and the air pressure is getting heavier tham before. After Penanjakan 2 , there is a top spot that is rarely visited by people because the terrain is steep with slippery rocks. However, Rudin and I are trying to reach the top two climbing points. From here, the Bromo caldera looks more spacious and beautiful. Rudin and I took turns taking photos.
To reach Bromo crater, visitors must first climb a long staircase.

YADNA KASADA TRADITIONAL RITUALS
I saw several times on television about the Yadna Kasada ritual by the Tengger tribe.
At the appointed time, the Tengger tribe make the Yadna Kasada ritual which is a ritual as a form of gratitude for the Tengger tribe to their ancestors.
Usually, the Tengger tribe throws agricultural products into the crater. Local residents compete to catch the offerings that are thrown into the Bromo crater.
This traditional ceremony even becomes an attraction for visitors from outside the area.
