wondering is it safe to go and explore Surabaya, Bromo and some other places nearby for single female traveler? This will be my 1st time traveling alone to Indonesia. I heard the public transport there (Surabaya) is not bad but don't know how reliable they are. And the local as well.

indon... i think it is safe for tourist
but dont still not advisable for female traveler
coz their security there is like malaysia

but then it is still safer than thailand,
there hv lots of cons case and rape+murder involving tourist

I prefer this DIY trip.
I just want to know how's their public transport. The bus from probolinngo to cemero lawang and to Bromo. The route to Bromo without tour & all info are clearly stated in the given blog (thank you). Only the public transport part.

As for the route, I havent got any idea where to go what to do. Just gather all info and create my iti later. Bdw, I will arrive at Surabaya and my flight back will be at Jakarta. 7 days. Maybe I will spend 4-5days in Surabaya, 1 day in BDO, 1 day at JKT. Just my rough plan

Wah, super rush... sweat.gif

An effective route to take would be (without backtracking)

Day 1 - Surabaya
Day 2 - Probolinggo - Cemero Lawang
Day 3 - Mt Penanjakan - Bromo
- Take jeep to Tumpang, overnight at Malang
Day 4 - In and around Malang, train to Bandung
Day 5 - In and around Bandung, train to Jakarta
Day 6 - In and around Jakarta
Day 7 - Flight home

But seriously tight... sweat.gif sweat.gif

Erm... Better do madakaripura on day 2 if u can. Hire an ojek to go there. After bromo, u need to take the minibus to probolinggo then bus to and overnight in bondowoso (day 3). If u want to save a day, just take midnight ijen tour from bondowoso. If not then, next morning (day 4) take minibus to sempol. From, there u can start ur ascent to ijen at midnight (day 5), come back down after sunrise, then ride minibus back to bondowoso and bus back to probolinggo to catch your train to jkt.

Btw, what steam cakes? drool.gif

(note: info may not be up-to-date)

AFAIK, there is no public transport from Cemero Lawang to Bromo. You need to join a tour or hire a driver.

Okay. Thanks for the info. I will read it carefully.

Do you think I can just gamble for the accommodation there? Or its advisable to book a hotel/ room/ homestay via website a few months before? I ll be going on Sept. Not sure whether its in the peak season or not

Can't, don't think u can find any accommodation in cemero lawang online. Have to walk in and book yourself wink.gif
Same with Sempol/Ijen (I'm more worried about not being able to get accommodation in sempol than cemero lawang though...)
