After a sold out trip for 27-30 Sept 2013, we have decided to do another trip to Mount Bromo from 6 - 9 Sept 2013 but this time we decided to keep the group small due to short notice and limited hotel rooms. So only 10 slots are available.

Twilight Wonders of Mount Bromo
Embark on an astrophotography adventure and be captivated by the splendor of her night skies and landscape.
Itinerary
Day 1
The day begins in Surabaya with a bus trip up to the Cemoro Lawang Village. Look
out of the bus windows and hold your breath as the sight of the famous Milky Way
will greet you there. Here, we will start with a warm-up astrophotography shoot.
Day 2
Get prepared to rise and shine before dawn, as you will trek up to Mount Penanjakan.
Standing at a towering 9,088 feet above the sea, get captivated by the
breath-taking view of the sunrise to the east of Mount Bromo, Mount Semeru
and Mount Batok. Afterwards, get ready for a brief horse ride up to the crater of
Mount Bromo. In the afternoon, venture out to the villages to capture farms and
cottages followed by a sunset shoot.
Day 3
It is time for extreme night photography, as we will start the day at midnight to catch
the stunning night scene of Mount Bromo against the starry skies. Before you know it,
get your cameras ready to snap the changing scenery from night to sunrise. Keep a
lookout for villagers as they start their day of work at the farm. In the afternoon,
indulge yourself in the highest art gallery in Indonesia and prepare yourself for the
sunset shot.
Day 4
It is time to flaunt your astrophotography skills, as it is the last day for you to capture
the beautiful galaxies of Bromo at midnight from a different viewpoint. Keep it up, as
we will stay throughout till the sunrise.
Bid farewell to beautiful Mount Bromo and Home Sweet Home.
