27/11/2018

Everest is a dream mountain to conquer for many, but in reality, very few have ever reached it. However, there are still other legendary mountains in the world that are not too challenging for the majority of tourists who enjoy conquering high altitudes.

Mount Bromo - Indonesia

Bromo, part of the Tengger mountain range, is a source of pride for Indonesians and a must-visit destination on Java Island. Traveling by off-road vehicle across the sandy desert to the edge of the volcanic crater at dawn, you'll have an amazing experience capturing close-up views of the 800-meter-wide, 200-meter-deep crater emitting smoke in the new day, as well as the prehistoric-like landscape. To reach Bromo, you'll hike or ride a horse to an altitude of 2,329 meters. Bromo is also one of the few places in Java where Hinduism still exists, worshipping volcanoes. Every year, villagers hold the Kasada offering ceremony for the summit of Bromo...
