The jeep leaves Cemoro Lawang in the dark, the viewpoint is cold, and it is worth it. A plain account of the night, with what to wear.
Your driver knocks at 3:15. The jeep climbs to Penanjakan in about 40 minutes, and the viewpoint is busy by 4:30.
Bring a real jacket
It is often 5 to 8 degrees at the top. A fleece, a windproof layer and gloves are enough.
After the sunrise
The jeep drops down to the sea of sand. From there it is a 20 minute walk and 250 steps to the Bromo crater rim.
