Not the first mishap to happen so far. When i was in dieng, i rode a scooter to sikunir hill for sunrise and the chain snapped, was stranded in the dark for abt half an hr till i was saved by a friendly indonesian family. Drove me there and back and paid for my entrance fee too smile.gif

Hi Guys,

Went to Bandung couple months back... Please avoid going to Tangkuban Perahu (Volcano Mountain). They will suck you dry!!, I repeat suck you DRY!!!

Going up will cost you 325k, then you can somewhat decide to either go back down via car (this is best, since no additional charge), or go down using the forest tracking way.. for certain amount of money around 400k per hour if I remember correctly, typically it will take about 2 hours++ they will say it's less then an hour which is bullshit.

Besides that, you will have a couple of sellers following you throughout... give you leg massage & take picture of you... but by the kolam air panas, you will need to buy something from them... and here is where it hurts the most, prices starts from 500k-1million per item... one of my buddies was good in nego... and the best he got was 300k per item... they repeatedly say items are original and stuffs... honestly, it's all bullshit once you reach the big pasar, cause you can somewhat get most of them at 20k only.

So my humble advise? avoid, if you still wanna go... only bring 600k... 325k for ticket and the rest to "give away"... they are smart they know how to treat you and use your kindness in your heart to cut your throat...

if you don't believe me, go try yourself out... if you kena before, you know what I say here is true...

lucky for me, I kena 1million only, cause I didn't change much rupiah.. still this puts a VERY BAD image in my mind about bandung.

hope this helps.

Heh, lucky i din go. Cant justify paying 200k to see a crater I thought was just plain in pictures. Went to kawah putih which was way more beautiful wub.gif

Kl-Bandung , Jakarta-KL for 4 days. Which one need more days? Anyone?

Recommend two days for Bandung, two days for Jakarta. Also depends on what time you arrive in Bandung and what time you depart from Jakarta. If you arrive early morning in bandung and depart late evening from jakarta, this itinerary would be good

D1 - Bandung
D2 - Bandung - Kawah Putih OR Tangkuban Perahu (impossible to do both on the same day)
D3 - Bandung - Jakarta (take morning train)
D4 - Jakarta

Can refer to this itinerary for some idea on what to do in each city icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi guys, please give some ideas or suggestions.

Me and my wife will travel to bandung Sept next year. Planning to do 6D5N or 5D4N trip. This is our first time visiting bandung.
We are hoping to spend 2 nights in lembang and 2 or 3 nights in Bandung.
Basically we want to be away from the city for early visiting Dusun Bambu, hot spirings, Kampung Daun, and shopping for the rest of the trips.

I need some tips and suggestions. Will it be okay if we were on our own without a guide?
*
Absolutely. 5 days more than enough to see what Bandung has to offer.

where the place do u all recommend to go >?
*
Kawah Putih/Tangkuban Perahu for day trips. Keep in mind that those places need one day each. In Bandung itself, you can do sightseeing around Braga area, or go Dago/Cihampelas for shopping

If you have more days, you can go to nearby Garut for Papandayan

You can see some more details about Bandung (day 2 to 4) here: http://gaeria84.blogspot.com/2015/07/java-...ry-12-days.html

There's a new attraction in bandung... it's called Glamping. According to the supir, it was opened starting last year only.. I've just been there.

It's in the same area as kawah putih, which is in Ciwedey region.
