On the 3rd day, some of us went to another view post located at another hill near

the village where we stay. Assisted by several ojet, we went to the start of the

few hundred metres hike (i think the hike is around 300m vertical up). Unlike Mt

Penanjakan where the sunrise and bromo is at different location, from this hill you

can see both location combined (provided you reached the peak before sunrise).

We were late a bit and the sun rise first before we managed to reach the peak

(me myself even went to a wrong jalur). A total of 3 person managed to scaled to

this mini peak which is Azri, Jasni & Zali. Few other friend scouting around the

village for sunrise scenery.

Compared to Mt Penanjakan, this view point has its own strength also. From my

observation this area were once used as the view point as there were some

Beautiful sunrise from Gardu Pandang, Cemoro Lowong, Bromo.

structure built there for this purpose.This abandon place should be revived as an

alternative to the view point at Mt Penanjakan. I personally prefer this place more.

From this location you can also catch and capture the misty atmosphere at the

Cemoro Lowong village. Below is the picture series taken from this view point.

trees and people became our photography subject.

Beautiful scenery OTW to Madakaripura Waterfall


5/6

After taking the breakfast, we went to Madakaripura Waterfall , a great waterfall

not far from Bromo. After a short trekking about 20-30 minutes when we finally

reach the waterfall everyone suddenly became amazed with elegant waterfall.

Some even said it were more like the scenery from avatar movie. Sadly the

picture wont do justice to this magnificent place. The rain and water spray made italmost impossible to capture the beautiness of this place without exposing

your camera to the risk plus with the wide range of exposure needed. One point

that might be helpful for potential visitor is about the help extended by the villagers

there. The help is not for free and they expected some tips from their help. During

our trip most of them requested 50,000 rupiah. Their asisstance is very helpful

considering the risky and slippering surface but agreeing on the rate at the

beginning would be better than when you suddenly came into a situation where

you dont actually need their help but requested to pay for it.

Beautiful tree formation around the village
