Attire: Bali is a tropical island; it is hot all year round like Ho Chi Minh City, so bring comfortabl­e summer clothes. Do not forget to bring long skirts and long pants for temples and pagodas. In

Bali, tourists are strictly forbidden to wear short and revealing clothes. You can buy a sarong (a kind of traditiona­l Indonesian skirt) when visiting temples and pagodas. But if you want to explore Mount Bromo at night or early in the morning, make sure to bring warm clothing, hats and especially thick face masks.

Currency: 1 rupiah (IDR or RP) is equivalent to about 1.70 VND. Money should be exchanged in advance at banks to avoid the common risks at private exchanges; it is very difficult to find a money exchange in Bromoljen, if so, the exchange rate is very low.

Other tourist attraction­s: You should combine trips to Bromo and Lake Lhjen because these two locations are quite close together. In addition, there are the beautiful Tumpak Sewu and Madakaripu­ra waterfalls by this road. You can check out 4 locations in this order: Tumpak Sewubromo-madakaripu­ra-ljen.

Estimated cost: Flights are about 5–8 million VND/ round trip, depending on the time of booking. For this trip, you can purchase a tour from a local guide or go on your own, but you should research the informatio­n carefully. A tour local guide ranges in price from 900,000– 1,200,000 RP for a trip to the 4 locations above, including accommodat­ion and shuttle car.
