Mount Bromo National Park, East Java Island



Mount Bromo National Park, East Java Island is the best destination volcano in Indonesia located in Ngadisari village of Tengger National Park. Mount Bromo has elevation at 2,329 metres high and surrounded by a massive sea of sand. The name of Mt Bromo derived from Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu creator god. Sulfur is collected from inside the caldera by workers.

This Mount sits in the middle of a vast plain called the “Sea of Sand” (Javanese: Segara Wedi or Indonesian: Lautan Pasir), a protected nature reserve since 1919. The typical way to visit this volcano is from the nearby mountain village of Cemoro Lawang. From there it is possible to walk to the volcano in about 45 minutes, but it is also possible to take an organised jeep tour, which includes a stop at the viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan (2,770 m or 9,088 ft) (Indonesian: Gunung Penanjakan). The viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan can also be reached on foot in about two hours.

The Existence of Mount Bromo was derived from an abbreviation of Tengger (Cemoro Lawang tribe of Ngadisari village). The name of “Tengger” was taken from the suffix TENG namely “Roro Anteng” and the suffix GER namely “Joko Seger”. The Tengger tribe were the original inhabitants that derived from the legend of Princess Roro Anteng (daughter of the Majapahit King Brawijaya) and her husband Joko Seger. Here they developed a new kingdom namely “Tengger” using parts of their respective surnames. The Kingdom of Tengger transformed into prospered and their religion flourished, but the royal couple were unable to produce an heritage to the throne. In desperation they prayed and meditated on Bromo Mountain for many days before the crater opened and the almighty god Hyang Widi Wasa announced that they would be given 25 children, with the condition that the last child named “Kusuma” must be sacrificed to the Crater. After 25 children were produced in last year later, Roro Anteng and Joko Segger broke their god condition and refused to sacrifice their last borne Prince Kesuma. Eventually, a dreadful eruption followed and swallowed Kesuma into the crater. To appease the great God, Kesuma’s brothers and sisters held an offering ceremony at the crater once every year until today namley “The Yadnya Kasada Ceremony” and celebrated in Mount Bromo Semeru National Park, East Java Indonesia on the full moon of the 12th month according the Tenggerese calendar.
