Encounters

Discover the caldera and its natural wonders at a leisurely pace and immerse yourself in the storied
surroundings of Mount Bromo. The adventure begins with ethereal views of sunrise from Penanjakan Peak.

Bromo is more than just a landscape; it is imbued with the culture and heritage of the tribes who make
that landscape their home. Sacred Bromo lets you discover one of the unique worship rituals that takes
place here, on the slopes of Mount Bromo itself.

Explore the ruins of the ancient Hindu-Buddhist Singasari kingdom in East Java (1222 – 1292). Several of
these crumbling relics to a once mighty empire can still be found, dotted around the suburbs and villages
surrounding Malang.

Encounter the daily routine of Bromo farmers in their own fields surrounding the Plataran Bromo area.
Tucked away in the shadow of the rolling Bromo hillsides, these plantations grow a rich variety of organic
produce, from potatoes and chili peppers, to apples, cabbages and herbs.

Apples are grown in their thousands in the orchards that hug the slopes of the Bromo area, where local farmers have raised their crop to become one of the most famous farm products in this region.

This cooking experience above the clouds is designed to excite your senses. Delve into a cooking class with a local chef to discover the harmony of natural food produced by farmers from the local community and taste the many wonderful flavours of Indonesian cuisine. Pick out your own vegetables if your trip coincides with the harvest season or choose your ingredients from a traditional market in a nearby village. Once you have the expertise and the ingredients, get ready to cook up a storm overlooking dramatic views of the rolling hillsides of Bromo.

Enjoy a serene and idyllic candlelit dinner in the soothing surrounds of our JivaDevi Nursery. Nestled in
a private corner of this lush garden, dinner is served accompanied by the gentle symphony of birdsong
and trickling water from the waterfalls and rockeries.

Stroll through a local village and explore a farm for 20 minutes in the golden hour before dusk. Soak up the beauty of an iridescent sunset at Tanggul Angin Hill while sipping a cup of coffee with selected canapés.
