The essential experiences at Bromo are the dawn viewpoint and the crater climb, both of which can be done in a single morning. Beyond these, the Tengger caldera rewards exploration: the sea of sand that fills the caldera floor is worth crossing on horseback or on foot, and the crater rim has trails that take you away from the crowds. Mount Semeru, visible from Bromo as the tallest peak on Java, is a multi-day trek for serious hikers. The villages on the caldera rim — Cemoro Lawang, Ngadisari — offer glimpses of the Tengger Hindu culture that has survived here since the Majapahit era.
