Whispering Sands (Pasir Berbisik)
Pasir Berbisik
Vast black volcanic sand plain in the southern part of the Bromo sea of sand, named for the rustling of wind-blown grains; a classic stop on the jeep tour loop.
Whispering Sands lies deep in the sea of sand south of Mount Batok, surrounded by the steep inner walls of an ancient caldera. The endless gray-black volcanic sand makes it feel like the surface of the moon. The name “whispering” comes from the sound of wind-blown sand grains, and the area became famous after the 2001 Indonesian film Pasir Berbisik was shot here. Nearly every Bromo jeep sunrise tour stops here for photos after viewing the crater, and horseback riding is also available. Wind and sand are strong, so bring a face mask and sunglasses and protect your camera.
