Day 2 Borobudur – Yogyakarta

Day 3 Yogyakarta tour

A Visit to the Kraton (Sultan’s Palace) of Yogyakarta is a must when visiting in this city (oh well, only if you wish too of course). In Kota Gede you can see the production of silver handicraft and batik. In the afternoon you will explore the beauty of the highest Hindu temple in Indonesia, Candi Prambanan, where you can learn the Ramayana story from carvings on the wall of the temple.

Day 4 Yogyakarta –Malang ( Train )

In the morning, after your checkout from the hotel Yogya, you will be brought to the train station to take train to Malang town. On arrival your driver will pick you up and bring you to your hotel. You will arrive in Malang around 4 pm. Stay overnight in Malang.

Day 5 Malang – Bromo

In the morning we drive to Tumpang town. There you change to an open jeep for an adventurous trip through forest, savanna, hills and finally the caldera (large vulcanic crater) before you arrive at Cemoro Lawang (the last village near Mount Bromo). Once you arrive at your hotel you can already enjoy the stunning panorama or just relax. As this unusual and spectacular approach to Bromo is only accessible for 4 wheel drive jeeps, your driver who will also take your luggage luggage will take a different, but longer, route. Therefor he will arrive a bit later than yourself. Overnight in Cemoro Lawang Village.

Day 6 Bromo – Bondowoso

After a very early rise you can go for another jeep excursion to the Bromo volcano to enjoy views of the crater. Instead of driving directly to the crater you also have the option to visit the viewpoint at Pananjakan first where, if the weather is clear, you can witness a spectacular sunrise (In order to see the sunrise the tour starts at 04:00 am. For this nightly excursion we would like to recommend a thick jacket (warm clothing) since at times the temperature can drop to 5 degrees Celcius). When you return to your hotel from this spectacular excursion, you can enjoy a well deserved breakfast after which we will bring you to Bondowoso. Overnight in Bondowoso.

Day 7 Ijen Tour – Bali

If you have a reasonable good condition you could do the Ijen Crater tour. In that case we will leave early in the morning to Ijen to see the spectacular crater lake and the sulphur mining.  Or perhaps you prefer a little sleep-in and then drive Banyuwangi from where you can take the ferry to Bali ( Pemuteran – Lovina ). The Choice is yours.
