Two things, a study tour and Mount Bromo. Those two words don’t look like they go together right? Normally, when a school plans a study tour event, the places chosen will be museums, zoos, or amusement parks. But what if you try organizing a trip to Bromo for your school study tour instead?
In Bromo National Park, students will be able to learn hands-on about not only the geography of the area, but also the cultural values of the Tengger Tribe residing in the foot of Mount Bromo.
Check out these learning opportunities and the best tour arrangements in Bromo for the curious students in your class!
LEARNING NATURE WITH VOLCANOES
By visiting the renowned national park, students can understand Mount Bromo in a deeper and a more detailed way. Here are the things they can discover beyond the book:
➤ Active Volcanoes and Craters
Students get to look directly inside an active volcano. They will see sulfur smoke rising and hear the deep, rumbling sounds of the Earth venting heat, making geology feel completely alive.
➤ The Formation of the Caldera
Standing in the vast Sea of Sand allows students to experience a real caldera and—a giant bowl created when an ancient, massive volcano collapsed thousands of years ago.
➤ Volcanic Flora & Fauna
Students can study how life adapts to extreme environments. They will discover a bunch of Acacia flowers and pine trees scattered in the area and learn about local wildlife, like Bromo’s long-tailed monkeys roaming and swinging on the forest’ branches.
UNDERSTANDING TENGGERESE CULTURE
Aside from the massive geographical area, this place also holds significant cultural values and stories about its local tribe, the Tengger People. Introduce these to your students:
➤ The People as Majapahit’s Descendants
The people of Tengger are the direct descendants of the ancient Majapahit Kingdom. Students can learn how the prosperous kingdom in the past is connected to the modern era from how the people escaped to the mountains centuries ago to preserve their unique way of life.
➤ The Sacred Luhur Poten Temple
Pura Luhur Poten is located in the middle of the caldera at the foot of Mount Bromo. By seeing this Hindu temple in such a location, students see firsthand how the locals blend their daily faith and architecture with the natural world around them.
➤ The History of Kasada Ceremony
Through the story of Roro Anteng and Joko Seger, students learn how local folklore teaches deep cultural values like community sacrifice and thanking nature for its blessings.
With these learning plans, all you need to do is to choose the perfect tour arrangements suitable for your students’ preference and pace. Bromo Day Tour or Bromo Sunset Tour are the 2 best options for you. Scroll down for the activity breakdown!
