I've visited this place for several times (the first was back in 1984, when I was baby), and the spectacular vista and alpine climate really made this place worthwhile visiting.

I never go to any volcano site or crater before. This is a very good experience to me as it's just a walking distance to me. I visited Perahu in the morning. Fog is everywhere and the weather is just too nice to pay a visit. It takes around 1.5 hours to reach there from Bandung. So, for those who... More

I wish I had read the warnings on TripAdvisor before we had embarked on our day trip to this volcanic crater. We were quite literally taken for a ride. We were in Bandung for a relative's wedding. My cousin's fiancee (local girl) had organised a bus to take the family on a day trip to the White Crater (Kawah Putih).... More

Being in a blessed country Malaysia, volcano is really something strange for me. This is my very 1st experience of a volcano by visiting Tangkuban Perahu in Bandung. Before going, I had put on layers of sun block, expecting a very hot environment with a fierce sun on top of me and smoke from volcano around! To my surprise, it... More

It is about 1hr & 30mins from hotel, so travelling time to & fro is about 3hrs and more. Need to hire a driver for this trip. The view was simply awesome!! A must see!
