I visited Bandung, located east of Jakarta, Indonesia! Known as a summer resort, I was able to fully enjoy Bandung in just one day. First, I went to Kawah Putih! I saw the scenery of the caldera lake. Next, I visited the Asia-Africa Conference Museum. After that, I had pizza at a nearby pizza shop, and finally, I went to Tangkuban Perahu. It was a long day of traveling, but I was able to visit all the places I wanted to go, making it a fulfilling day. Although I did it in one day, I recommend spreading it over two days.

This time, we visited Bandung, often referred to as Indonesia's Karuizawa, a popular summer retreat for locals due to its cooler climate compared to Jakarta. 🍃 🚃 How to Get There: - Jakarta to Padalarang Station: 30 minutes by Woosh train - Padalarang Station to Bandung Station: About 30 minutes by local train 🎡 Tourist Attractions: - Kawah Putih A volcanic lake with sulfuric water located about 1.5 hours by car from Bandung city. You can get up close to the sulfuric lake, a unique experience in Indonesia 🇮🇩. However, due to the harmful effects of sulfur, it’s recommended to limit your stay to around 15 minutes. - Rengganis Suspension Bridge Located about 15 minutes by car from Kawah Putih, this local tourist spot features a long, swaying suspension bridge. On the other side, you’ll find sulfuric hot springs with a temperature of around 40°C, perfect for a relaxing foot bath.♨️ - Asia-Africa Conference Museum Situated on the popular Braga Street in Bandung, this museum is the site of the famous Asia-Africa Conference. Held in 1955, the conference aimed to strengthen ties among third-world countries and offers insights into the diplomatic history of ASEAN nations.📚 Admission was free! 🏨 Hotel: Sheraton Bandung Hotel & Towers Located about 15 minutes by car from Braga Street, this hotel exudes a resort-like atmosphere, making it an ideal place for a relaxing stay in a summer retreat.

I opted for a refreshing mango ice cream this time! - Braga Art Cafe True to its name, this café features stylish interiors and is relatively easy to enter. Since Braga Street is crowded and many cafés are busy, this is a great spot to take a break! 🛍️ Shopping: - Fortuna Shoes Located about 10 minutes by car from Braga Street, this store specializes in Indonesian leather shoes.👞 Known in Japan under the brand name Jalan Sriwijaya, you can find items here for about 10,000 yen less than in Japan. If you have time, it’s worth a visit!✨ That concludes our highly satisfying two-day trip to Bandung! Note that Kawah Putih is quite far from Bandung, and taxis can be hard to find, so it’s better to hire a car. I hope this helps with your travel planning!☺️

Kawah Putih or the white crater is a volcanic lake located in Ciwidey, Bandung, Indonesia. It’s a natural tourist attraction about 60 kilometres from Bandung City Centre. To get there, you can either purchase a tour package at the hotel or rent a car (with driver) who can drive you there. There’s a small entrance fee that you have to pay before entering the place. Other than the white crater, there are also pony rides and a lookout point that you can hike up to. The experience is different compared to Tangkuban Perahu (another crater located in Bandung) as Kawah Putih allows you to walk right to the edge of the crater.

#springitinerary Starting from Bandung city, I drove more than two hours to this mysterious volcanic lake—Kawah Putih. Along the way, my driver told me that tigers and lions sometimes appear here. I’m not sure if it’s true, but it definitely added a bit of thrill and mystery to the trip. After buying the ticket, I took the shuttle up to the lake area. Kawah Putih on a rainy day has a unique charm—the lake surface is shrouded in a faint sulfur smell, and the air is filled with a raw, natural essence. The rain wet the surrounding white volcanic rocks, making the place look like a dreamy fairyland. Although the thunderstorm suddenly arrived, I quickly took a few photos before heading back. The lake in the rain looked even quieter and more mysterious. Next, I continued to Sunan Ibu viewpoint, where I enjoyed panoramic views of tea plantations, dense tropical rainforests, and the whole lake area. The layers of green seemed to dress the rainy scene in vibrant life. If you have extra time, on the way back you can stop by Happy Farm nearby to feed some animals and enjoy the flowers, adding a warm touch to this volcanic lake trip. Bandung’s cool climate makes this a great place for camping on a clear day—the morning views of the lake and mountains would surely be unforgettable. #Bandung #KawahPutih #RainyDayTravel #NaturalBeauty

First time experienced white crater lake

Bandung, often called the “Paris of Java”, is a place that truly stole my heart. Surrounded by lush mountains and cool air, the city gave me the perfect balance of nature, shopping, delicious halal food, and rich cultural experiences — all while being extremely Muslim-friendly. I arrived in Bandung after a short flight from Kuala Lumpur. The moment I stepped out of the airport, I was greeted by the refreshing highland breeze — a welcome break from the heat of city life. The atmosphere was laid-back, the people were warm and polite, and I instantly felt at ease. One of the first things I appreciated about Bandung was how easy it was to find halal food. Almost every eatery was Muslim-owned, and halal signs were everywhere. From warungs (small roadside stalls) to trendy cafes, I had no trouble enjoying meals without worrying about ingredients. My favourites were the sate ayam, nasi timbel, batagor, and Bandung’s famous pisang keju (banana with cheese). Even cafes serving modern desserts like boba and pancakes usually had prayer spaces available or were near mosques. One of the best parts of Bandung is its combination of nature and shopping. We spent a full day in Lembang, where we visited the amazing Farmhouse Susu Lembang — a European-style village with photo spots, Dutch-style houses, and even a place where you can dress in traditional Dutch costumes. We then went to The Lodge Maribaya, where tall pine trees and mountain views made us feel like we were in another world. There were prayer rooms (musholla) provided at almost every tourist spot, which made it so convenient to perform prayers even while travelling. A trip to Bandung wouldn’t be complete without shopping. We went to Rumah Mode, one of the most popular factory outlets in the city. From branded clothing to local fashion pieces, everything was much cheaper than in Malaysia. I managed to grab a few modest outfits and even some gifts for family. Most shopping areas like Cihampelas Walk and Paris Van Java Mall also had surau and halal food stalls, so I could shop and eat with peace of mind. #indonesia

#outdooradventure Kawah Putih, located in the highlands of Ciwidey, Bandung, offers a mystical outdoor adventure for nature enthusiasts. This stunning crater lake, known for its striking turquoise waters and surreal, misty atmosphere, is surrounded by lush forests and dramatic volcanic landscapes. The journey to Kawah Putih involves a scenic drive through tea plantations and a short hike, making it an accessible yet exhilarating experience. The sulfuric lake, with its unique color and otherworldly ambiance, provides a perfect backdrop for photography and quiet contemplation. Kawah Putih is an ideal destination for those seeking a blend of natural beauty, tranquility, and a touch of adventure.

The first time traveling abroad was an impressive experience. We visited Indonesia for the first time and explored two cities. Jakarta - The vibrant and prosperous capital city. It boasts large shopping malls, business centers, and old districts with significant historical landmarks. Bandung - A city renowned for its high mountains and beautiful tea plantations. The trip to Kawah Putih crater was memorable. Bandung has a cool climate, and the food is unique and delicious.

I went to Bandung, about a four-hour drive from Jakarta! It's known as a summer resort, so it was a bit chilly. At Kawah Putih, a caldera lake, I could smell sulfur. Smoke was rising from the mountainside behind the lake. There were a lot of Indonesian tourists, and people taking selfies everywhere. There wasn't much water, probably because it was the dry season. If you go in the rainy season, you'll probably be able to see a more lake-like view. If you're staying in Indonesia for an extended period of time, be sure to visit Bandung! #AsiaTravel #Indonesia #IndonesiaTrip

Kawah Putih also known as white crater is a volcanic crater lake in Ciwidey, located about 50km from south of Bandung, Indonesia. It is a stunning, unique & natural volcanic lake that was gifted by an eruption on Mount Patuha in 11th century.
