Mount Batok
Gunung Batok
Symmetrical cone-shaped extinct volcano beside Mount Bromo, with radiating gullies on its slopes; one of the stars of sunrise photos.
Mount Batok rises to about 2,440 meters and is an extinct volcanic cone in the Tengger Caldera. Its shape is nearly perfectly symmetrical, and rainwater has carved neat radiating grooves into its slopes. It is covered in green vegetation, in contrast with the bare, smoking Mount Bromo beside it. When watching the sunrise from viewpoints such as Penanjakan, it often stands in the center of the foreground. Visitors mainly admire and photograph it from the sand sea or from viewpoints, and the national park generally does not encourage climbing it.
