Bromo is not the highest mountain in Java that honor goes to nearby Mount Semeru at 3676 m but it is probably the most famous. Bromo is actually just one of many peaks in the Tengger Caldera large, but easily recognized as part of a whole have been blown by the wind and constantly in the crater sulfur belches white smoke. The inside of the caldera, just dubbed Sand Sea (Sea of Sand) is coated with fine volcanic sand and the overall effect unsettingly loud, especially when compared to the lush green valleys all over the caldera. When the time each activity in the area, remember that the sun sets shortly after 5 PM and sunrise line beginning at around 5:30 am. This means you usually will need to get up at 3:30 am or so to get there in time of dawn.

Mount Batok (2440 m) is a brown volcanic cone at the center of the northern caldera. Unlike the other near the peak is no longer active and actually has some vegetation growing on it, most of the local pine tree that had somehow managed to survive even on volcanic ash.

Mount Bromo, edges tinged with white sulfur and always bubbling, is the major sights. To reach it on foot, take the left fork in Cemoro Lawang's solitary crossing, then head to the streets to caldera caldera and then across to the Hindu temple at the foot of the mountain. From the temple a steep path leads 250 steps to the edge of the crater and meter-wide ledge from where to not keep looking at volcanoes.


Penanjakan Mountain (2770 m), located in the north of the caldera, is a mountain top view point accessible by paved road from Tosari and hence popular with jeeps and even tour buses.

The first inhabitants of the island of Bali is expected to come in 3000-2500 BCE who migrated from Asia. Relics of the stone tools were found in the village Cekik located in the western part of the island. Prehistoric times and then ended with the arrival of Hinduism and Sanskrit writings from India in 100 BC.

Culture of Bali and then get the strong influence of Indian culture, the process is more rapid after the 1st century AD. Name Balidwipa (Bali Island) began to be found in various inscriptions, including inscriptions Blanjong issued by Sri Kesari Warmadewa in 913 AD and mentions the word Walidwipa. It is estimated that around this time that Subak irrigation system for rice cultivation began to be developed. Some religious and cultural traditions also began to develop at that time. Kingdom of Majapahit (1293-1500 AD) who are Hindus and centered on the island of Java, had established the kingdom of subordinates in Bali around the year 1343 AD It was almost all over the country are Hindus, but as the arrival of Islam stood Islamic kingdoms in the archipelago, among others, led to the collapse of Majapahit. Many nobles, priests, artists, and other Hindu community when it withdrew from the island of Java to Bali.

The Europeans who first discovered Bali is
Cornelis de Houtman from the Netherlands in 1597, though a Portuguese ship had previously been stranded near Cape Mount, Jimbaran, in 1585. Dutch East India Company began to implement through the soil colonial Bali, but continue to get resistance, so until the end of the power of their position in Bali is not as solid as their position in the Java or the Moluccas. Starting from the northern region of Bali, since the 1840s the Netherlands has become a permanent presence, which was originally done by pit the various rulers of Bali that mutual distrust each other. Dutch major attack by sea and land against the Sanur area, and followed by the area of Denpasar.

An estimated 4,000 people were killed in the incident, although the Netherlands has ordered them to surrender. Furthermore, the Dutch governors who ruled only a few gave its influence on the island, so that local control of religion and culture generally remained unchanged.

Japan occupied Bali during World War II, and then a military
officer named I Gusti Ngurah Rai Bali forming forces 'freedom fighters'. Following Japan's surrender in the Pacific in August 1945, the Dutch promptly returned to Indonesia (including Bali) to re-establish its colonial rule as a state before the war.

Bali then also incorporated into the United States of Indonesia when the Dutch recognized the independence of Indonesia on December 29, 1949. In 1950, Bali officially leave perserikatannya with the Dutch and legally became a province of the Republic of Indonesia.

The eruption of Mount Agung that occurred in 1963, had shaken the people's economy and caused many of the Balinese transmigrated to other areas in Indonesia.
