Why this order?
Yogyakarta gives the cultural and temple base first, the Bromo area shifts the trip into East Java's volcanic landscape, and South Bali provides a practical coastal finish after the overland Java chapter.

Indonesia in 5 days: Yogyakarta, Mount Bromo area, South Bali
A compact Indonesia route linking Yogyakarta, the Mount Bromo area, and South Bali for travelers crossing Java toward Bali instead of building a broad multi-island itinerary.
IKARU editorial route
A compact Java-to-Bali corridor focused on Yogyakarta and Bromo before finishing in South Bali, distinct from IKARU's broader two-week Bali-Yogyakarta-East Java route.

Evidence and limits
Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism highlights Yogyakarta and Bromo within Java and documents Bali separately. The exact transfer sequence and pacing are IKARU editorial choices; verify current train, road, volcanic-access, flight, and local safety notices.
This is an editorial route, not a published real-traveler trip. No first-party traveler source is attached to this record.

Shorten
If time is tighter, remove one major region rather than stacking overnight road or rail transfers around a sunrise excursion.
Extend
Add nights in Yogyakarta, East Java, or Bali before adding another island that requires a new flight or sea crossing.
