East Java is an area located on one of the islands of Java, precisely in the east and adjacent to Yogyakarta. Well, in East Java, it is very famous for areas that have beautiful nature. Natural wealth that can be enjoyed by tourists, one of which is volcanoes.
That's right, Indonesia is truly vast and has many seas, mountains, forests and lakes. That is why so many tourists are captivated by Indonesia's natural wealth. So much because Indonesia consists of islands. I think Indonesia was created when God was happy and joyful. So this country consists of various beautiful natural riches.
I once told you about Mount Bromo, right? Well, this is one of the mountains in the Bromo area, Pasuruan Regency. You can call this mountain 'Batok Mountain'. Batok in English means coconut shell, which is hard and brown, that's what 'BATOK' actually means. But who would have thought that this Batok mountain has an interesting philosophy.
Mount Batok is the only inactive mountain in the Mount Bromo area. True, there is no crater and there is no activity from Mount Batok. Although people often think that this mountain is Mount Bromo, because it has the same height. Interestingly, this mountain is often one of the best spots to enjoy the Mount Bromo area because it is not too hot.
Mount Batok has the same height as Mount Bromo, around 2200 meters from the surface, then unlike Mount Bromo, Mount Batok does not have stairs to climb, very different from Mount Bromo which is very easy to access. So, many people who do not have hiking skills will like to see Mount Batok from below.
At the foot of Mount Batok there is a wide expanse of sand that is very slippery for motorbikes. So for access to all places in the Mount Batok area it is better to use a jeep or horse. There are many horse rentals, it can also be an interesting attraction in doing a travel experience on Mount Batok.
The fresh and cool air makes this area nice to enjoy in the morning. after seeing the sunrise above Mount Bromo, then head to Mount Batok. Even though it is at the foot of the mountain, it still feels cold to the bone. You must wear warm clothes and a mask, at least to avoid dust entering because the sand here has small particles.
The last picture
There are so many jeeps that stop to let travelers do anything here, take pictures, look at the beautiful mountains or even sip coffee that can be bought nearby. There is a small shop where people sell food and drinks needed to recharge their energy to continue other activities in the Mount Bromo area.
In your opinion, is Mount Batok very beautiful? Let me know.
See you the next time hive friends!
