Very impressive and easy to walk through. Don't take the Jeeps. Hike for a better experience!

The crater can't be circled anymore. The ridge to the northwest is very narrow and broken off after some point. It's still nice to walk to the other side of the crater to get some different views. Proper hiking shoes are a must if walking on the ridge. Entrance fee to the national park are 220.000 IDR (320.000 IDR on weekends) for foreigners.

The massive volcanic complex in eastern Java was declared the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in 1982. The Tengger Caldera, with a diameter of 16 km, was formed by a massive eruption approximately 45,000 years ago. Within the caldera, five overlapping volcanoes formed, each with its own caldera.

The Sandsea Caldera, measuring 9 x 10 kilometers, was formed 8,000 years ago; several thousand years ago, the volcano Mount Bromo, among others, formed from its soil.

Visits are usually made from Cemorolawang, a village located on the rim of the Sandsea Caldera. Visitors travel by jeep, on horseback, or on foot down into the caldera and across the flat Tengger Sand Sea to the base of Mount Bromo. You can continue uphill on a path or ride along the trail to the bottom of the concrete staircase that leads up to the crater rim.
