Tangkuban Perahu Best Thing to do IN BANDUNG {INDONESIA} IN 2021
This is an epic active volcano located around 30 km outside of the city. It’s possible to take tours here, get a grab for a cheap price, or rent a moped and visit yourself. This is an active volcano that you can drive right up to the crater.
You’ll see down the crater of one of the inactive ones, and you can pay extra (around 50,000) for a tour that takes you closer to the other peaks.
Bradley and I drove the whole way up here and we got to the entrance and it was empty. We found a lady who worked there who spoke Engish and the volcano had erupted a couple of days before (somehow I missed that when Googling), anyway, the whole area was blocked off due to the sulphur so we couldn’t visit.
We did get to visit the “admin” centre where the guys showed us how the measure the pressure of the volcano and the history of when it went off etc.
Now before I visited I was warned by countless online articles about the amount of people here trying to sell you stuff and hoarding you. They said it takes away from the experience.
There were 3 guys there trying to sell stuff to two people, so I would believe that there are hundreds more when it’s open. But actually they were nice guys and we just chatted!
It’s probably the most expensive entrance fee in Bandung for foreigners, coming in around 200-300 IDR depending on what day of the week you go. Weekends are more expensive!
Btw, there are beautiful tea fields located next to the volcano, which is what we visited instead since it was closed!
