Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park
The national park is a spectacular volcanic landscape and one of
the most impressive natural sights in Indonesia. The ancient
Tengger crater in its midst stretches for six miles (10km) and
within its sheer volcanic walls are three peaks, namely Batok,
Kursi and the smoking Mt Bromo. Thousands of tourists make the
journey up Mt Bromo for the unforgettable spectacle at sunrise
(during the dry season) when the surrounding landscape takes on an
otherworldly quality. The views from the top and into the smoking
crater are unbelievable. To reach the foot of the volcano one must
cross the vast Sea of Sand out of which Mt Bromo rises, either on
horseback or by foot, and then climb a flight of stairs that leads
to the crater rim where the unmistakeable smell of sulphur
permeates the air. The small village of Cemora Lawang, perched at
the edge of the crater, is the most popular place to stay and has
the best views of the area.

Language
Bahasa Indonesia is the official language, but many
dialects are spoken. English is widely understood in Jakarta and
tourist resorts.
Money
Rupiah (IDR) is the official currency and is divided into 100
sen. Foreign currency can easily be exchanged at banks, hotels and
money changers in major tourist destinations; US dollars is the
most accepted currency. Cash often yields a better exchange rate
than travellers cheques, which are not always accepted. It is
recommended that travellers cheques also be in US dollars. Most
major credit cards are accepted at hotels, restaurants and stores
catering to the tourist trade. ATMs are available in main centres.
Small change is often unavailable so keep small denomination notes
and coins for items like bus fares, temple donations and cool
drinks.
Time
Indonesia spans three time zones. GMT +7 (West, including
Java and Sumatra), GMT +8 (Central, including Bali, Sulawesi and
Lombok), GMT +9 (East, including Irian Jaya).
