Cemoro Lawang Village
Cemoro Lawang is a small village located close to Bromo Mountain. This can be your base for the trip to Bromo crater and Mount Penanjakan (view point). This time I booked a guesthouse in advance as I didn’t know what to expect.
Although there are several guesthouses you need to know almost every tourist is visiting this place to reach Bromo crater or Mt Penanjakan. You can meet a lot of people there and maybe join them for trips if you don’t want to go alone.
That is a very good idea because the weather conditions might be hard. At the time I reached Cemoro the village was covered by volcanic ash. We almost could not breath the whole night. See my trip to Bromo Crater here.
If you have any questions about my trip, write to me or leave a comment below. I will be happy to answer them all.
Walk through the Village
It’s nice to take a walk through the village. The time has stopped there. It’s one of the most original places I’ve seen in Indonesia. It’s a quiet and beautiful place.
There was a lot of people waiting for a bus to Probilingo on the way back. But the bus never showed up! I remember asking local people to drive us out of the city but nobody was even interested to talk to us. 🙂
That’s was a really great adventure. We got stucked in this mountain village having no possibility for leaving it. Finally we hired a private van to take us to Probolingo.
