Climbing mountains is my hobby. I really love this hobby because we can enjoy the beautiful landscape created by God. We can also refresh our mind after we work all day in the city.
One of the most beautiful and magical mountains in East Java which I have visited is Mount Bromo. It is located in Probolinggo Regency not far from the Malang Regency. You know that this mountain is very interesting because you can see the beautiful sunrise and sunset from this mountain. You can take a magical picture from the sky above this mountain.
Beside that you can see the beautiful or large field or what the Bromo people call ‘Lautan Pasir’ or ‘The Desert Sea’. It is very beautiful if you see from the top of Mount Bromo.
On the top of Mount Bromo, there are also a ‘Kawah’ or ‘Crater’, where visitors can make their body warm in the cold conditions of this mountain. In this crater you can see some beautiful colors of fire and beautiful smoke going up to the sky.
To go to the top of the mountain you can ride a horse. You can rent a horse cheaply. And there are some guides who can help you to get some stories about Bromo and the people's lives who live there.
In the first of Suro Month, (the name of Javanese month), there is also a ceremony of ‘Kasodo’. This ceremony is very interesting to see because there are some unique cultures on this event. This ceremony is for ‘Dewa’ or God, which has blessed them (the people of Bromo) upon their welfare. You know that generally the people of Bromo follow Hinduism. According to the story, the Bromo people came from the Majapahit Kingdom, the biggest Kingdom in Nusantara. Please enjoy the unique culture and the beauty of Mount Bromo.
