Mount Semeru - Bromo - Ijen Trekking Trip

Let’s climb and explorer the famous East Java active volcano of the Semeru and Bromo. This trip starts from Surabaya Airport and ends at the same airport. The trekking trip takes 7 days fully organized private trip. Mount Semeru is also known as Mahameru (“Great Mountain”), is one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes. What stands out most about this mountain is the fact that it erupts periodically (and very reliably so). Every 20 min or so, the volcano belches out a huge cloud of steam and smoke, sometimes interspersed with ash and stones. Enjoy the Mount Bromo sunrise with its Tengger caldera of sea sands and get chill out at Surabaya.

You will encounter steep ascents and descents on a fairly good system of tracks whilst on the trek. A good level of fitness is required. All your camping gear is supplied but if you want to take your own lightweight sleeping bag or sleeping mat that’s fine. As the trip run in private, you can always discuss with your guide your level of fines or anything that makes you comfy during the trek.
