PLATARAN BROMO ENCOUNTER

OVERVIEWTucked away in the highlands of East Java, Plataran Bromo offers sublime views overlooking a patchwork of agricultural plantations woven into the surrounding hillsides. The hotel is conveniently located at the gateway of Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Plataran Bromo is a destination where guests can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of their environment and discover uniquely rich cultural attractions at their doorstep. Throughout the hotel and beyond its borders, adventure and entertainment await, comprising authentic culinary experiences, rich cultural discovery tours, nature-inspired activities, and thrilling sport events.

TAMAN NASIONAL BROMO TENGGER SEMERU Plataran Bromo is located just 16km from Mt. Bromo in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, which can be reached via a 30-minute drive up the mountain in a 4WD Jeep. The national park is named after its two mountains - Mount Semeru and Mount Bromo - and covers a massive area of 800 square km in the center of East Java. The region is home to the Tengger people; descendants of Indonesia’s storied Majapahit Empirewho continue to preserve its unique mystic heritage and traditions to this day.

Mount Bromo (2,329m) is one of the most iconic sights in Java, standing as the centrepiece of Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. Mt Bromo and the neighbouring cone of Mt Semeru bulge out of an even larger, more ancient crater; a wide open plain known by the Javanese as Segara Wedi (sea of sand). This desert savannah is crisscrossed by men on horseback wrapped in blankets of batik and ikat fabric; these cowboys of the caldera are members of the local Tengger tribes. Dwarfed by the vast open expanses of this lunarscape sits Pura Luhur Poten; a sacred Hindu temple at the heart of Java’s tribal hinterland. Like theethereal mist that cloaks the peaks of Bromo and Semeru at sunrise, this epic landscape is shrouded in myth and legend.

The Tenggerese people of East Java can trace their ancestry back to the Majapahit empire, which ruled theseas of the Indonesian archipelago around 500 years ago. Today, approximately 100,000 of their descendantsremain in the 30 villages that cling to the foothills and slopes of Mount Bromo. Once a year, during the Hindufestival of Yadnya Kasada, the Tenggerese people of Probolinggo climb the slopes of the mountain to makeofferings of fruit, rice, vegetables, flowers and sacrifices of chickens and goats to the gods
