Experience Mount Bromo
Fertile rice-terraces give way to a blanket of lava sands and the smouldering grandeur of Mount Bromo, usually trailing a wisp of volcanic smoke. Located on the region’s awesome Tengger Massif, stretching 10 kilometres across, this is best seen at dawn as the sun rises over a stunning vista.
Malang
Malang is often used as a base for those wishing to explore Mount Bromo. The town has a real Dutch flavour and this, combined with the wide, leafy boulevards, make it a great place to wander around.
