Trip to Semeru, Indonesia 🇮🇩

It was my second time to Semeru, Indonesia. When we visited Semeru, we wanted to slow down and enjoy the sights in a way that was suitable for everyone, including my mom. The region offers plenty of breathtaking spots that don’t require intense trekking, so this itinerary is perfect for older travelers who prefer a more relaxed pace while still experiencing the beauty of nature 🌏 We started with Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, but this time, we focused on the panoramic viewpoint rather than hiking 🥾 down to the base. The viewing platform offers a stunning perspective of the cascading waterfalls without any strenuous effort ✨ My mom loved the peaceful sound of rushing water and the opportunity to enjoy the beauty without a challenging hike 🙌 📍Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, Sidomulyo, Pronojiwo, Lumajang Regency, East Java, Indonesia Then we headed to Ranu Pani, a charming village at the base of Mount Semeru ⛰️ We explored the tranquil surroundings of Ranu Pani Lake and took plenty of photos 📸 of the calm waters reflecting the surrounding hills. It’s an easy, flat walk, and the village 🏘️ has a relaxing vibe that my mom really enjoyed 😍 📍Ranu Pani Village, Senduro District, Lumajang Regency, East Java, Indonesia We also took an early morning jeep ride to Penanjakan Viewpoint, one of the best spots to watch the sunrise over the Tengger Caldera and Mount Semeru ⛰️ Since no trekking was required, my mom could comfortably enjoy the magnificent view. The misty morning light and the sight of Mount Semeru in the distance made it a magical experience 👍 📍Penanjakan Viewpoint, Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, East Java, Indonesia To add a little adventure, we explored the Bromo Savanna ⛰️and Whispering Sands. We hired a jeep to take us across the vast landscape, which felt like stepping into another world 🌏My mom appreciated the unique scenery without needing to walk long distances 🚶 📍 Bromo Savanna and Whispering Sands, Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, East Java, Indonesia On our way back, we stopped at Madakaripura Waterfall. The short walk to the falls is mostly flat and shaded, and the scenery is incredible💯 We took it slow, and my mom enjoyed soaking her feet in the refreshing stream 💦 📍Madakaripura Waterfall, Sapih, Lumbang District, Probolinggo Regency, East Java, Indonesia This second trip to Semeru gave us a chance to share its beauty in a way that was comfortable for everyone. Whether it’s soaking in the views or riding a jeep through breathtaking landscapes, I’d recommend this itinerary for families traveling with older members 🙌🙌🙌 #indonesiatrip #travel #vacation
