This is one of the most spectacular volcanoes on Java, but also one of the most touristy as it is very close to Bali. There are different types of trips and tours but the cheapest, and best for backpackers and people on a budget, is to spend a night in one of the small hotels near the volcano. The next day, very early, about six, head up to the last few houses by jeep, which is generally always included, and up to the lookout where the views are spectacular of both Bromo volcano and other mountains and volcanoes. Then head down to the starting point and continue the tour to Bromo volcano to visit the crater.
