While the most awaited from mount Bromo is the sightview of sunrise and sunset, where those two nature phenomenon can be depicted very clearly from mount Bromo.
Though the journey to Bromo is quite dusty, but still it feels worthy compared to the beauty scenery served.
As for the Bromo’s origins, the Suku Tengger ( the Tengger Tribe), Mount Bromo is believed as a sacred mountain.
Once in a year the Tengger Tribe is holding a Yadnya or Kasodo ceremony as part of their culture. This ceremony is held in a Pura ( Hinduist sacred temple) in the hillside of the mountain then continued to the top of the mountain.
The Kasodo ceremony is held in the amidst of the night until early morning in every fulmoon, around the 14th or 15th day, by the month of Kasodo (the 10th) month of Javanese Calendar.
