                It is easy to reach Bremi as there are buses depart from Probolinggo that will go to the village. It’s better to stay overnight in this village. There is a small and quite cheap inn here. It seems that the inn was built during the Dutch colonial periode. The inn is surrounded by a beautiful and natural scenery, that make rustic athmosphere. Before climbing the mountain, we shoud report to the local police or the local PHPA  in Bremi.
