Bromo mountain is become most touristic destination in East Java. It has mesmerizing sunrise view, with Volcanic Mountain and huge farm field also traditional way of life of tengger peoples (local tribe who been living at mountain surround for long time ago).

Bromo mountain is one among many beautiful places in the region which belong to National Park -Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The national covers a total area of 5,250 hectares with the hingest mountain in Java is part of it, Semeru mountains, 3.676 meter above sea level.

the National Park is lies right in the border of 4 different cities, Lumajang Region, Pasuruan Region, Probolinggo Region and Malang city region. that why there are many route to get into this national park. Every route you take has particular advantage and disadvantage. the most common route is from Probolinggo, cos the route will lead you to the villager area and also hotel area (the hotel is a bit expensive, with very basic service).

Mount Bromo has to be one of the easiest volcano to climb while it\'s equipped with stairs to reach the crater lips, as the local Tengger people do the ceremony once a year climbing up to the crater lips and throw the harvests as gifts to the God.

Another panoramic view right next to the crater still waiting to be discovered, an experience to stroll around the black sand desert while riding local\'s race horses ; and an imaginative green savana as we call it Teletubbies Hills.

There are about 70 islands in this earthly paradise. This amazing archipelago is not located far from other Indonesian Islands.

For some period of time it was almost completely isolated from other islands which helped the Mentawai people develop their own customs and traditions but there are other parts of life on the archipelago that is still unique; the animal and plant life. There are many endemic species on the archipelago territory.  

One of the favorite activities in the surrounding ocean is surfing that attracts passionate surfers from all over the planet.

The Baduy Tribe is a traditional tribe that lives in the Banten region of Sumatra. They live as they ancestors lived, in peace and in simple way. They have no need of modern life or technology. They are divided into two groups: the Baduy Dalam and the Baduy Luar, the Inner Baduy and the Outer Baduy respctively.

Currently there are about 400 Baduy Dalam spreaded in the three villages: Cibeo, Cikertawana and Cikeusik. The last village, Cikeusik is completely protected from the outer influence and no stranger can enter.

They are considered the ˝People of the sacred inner circle˝ and that is why they don´t make contact with the outer world. The Puun, the leader of the village, is the only one who can visit the most sacred territories of the Baduy.

The Baduy Luar live in 22 villages. They follow the rules but not as stricily as the Dalam people. In the past, even the Luar weren´t permitted to use modern clothes or work outside their villages. Now, the situation somewhat changed and they not only work in the cities but they also use some other elements of modern life such as toys, batteries...

They still reject schools in spite of the government´s effors to educate them. Thus, there aren´t many Baduy people able to read or write.
