Normally IDR 50.000 - 70.000
Or you can call "bluebird taxi" in +62 22  7561234. Ask them to pick up in  airport

ya if you have time. In fact it is very common that ppl from Jakarta travel to Bandung over the weekends for shopping and dining. The weather is cool in Bandung but hot in Jakarta

ughh i guess jakarta is like our KL here.

Well..You can do all these within 1 full day in Bandung...Shopping for factory outlet - is a letdown for those not going for branded goods...imagine nothing cheaper than rp100,000 for a polo Tee

just came back from bandung. nothing much to see about 4d3n for relax trip enough to cover bandung. the ppl in bandung is really nice, they tend to help if they could. i can say its quite safe there at night cos i did walk back to my hotel from paris van java to cihampelas eventhough the distance is quite far but those dark streets without lights are kinda scary if compare to kl here. the problem with ppl in indonesia is the rich are too rich and the poor are to poor.

IDR  50-75 if not traffic jam rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

if u take blue bird taxi definitely cheaper than that. but bear in mind if the taxi u order by phone will have minimum charge of IDR 20k, PVJ is just behind of cihampelas. actually u don really need a supir cos there isnt much place to visit in bandung, like me at 1st i plan to hire a supir too but in the end didnt so just stick with taxis moving around didnt cost me IDR 800k for 3days, i even went to tangkuban perahu and ciater hot spring by taxi and went back to cihampelas with taxi fare around IDR 200k++. not to mention there is a ticket fare to pay before going up tangkuban perahu, they are very smart, 1st they will ask where are u from. if u're not from indon then they will charge u 50k per person, if u are indonesian then 10k only. and cihampelas is always having traffic jam.

Will be staying@ Aston Tropicana, hv no idea it's a jammed prone area when i made the booking, since it's our inaugral trip hehe...so to be safe better take supir. If it's up to me i will utilised two days for shopping but another friends wanted sightseeing so hv to sacrificed many places. will go to PB and selected FOs only.

If it's just around the corner may be we can walk to PJV, otherwise take cab.

thanks for all the tips guys!

seriously go further the better make full use of him cos all the FOs are just around near each other.

My brother who travels frequently told me in Indonesia, their service industries, practices tipping, I told my friends, all girls who said -tak mau bagi rolleyes.gif . Can you share your personal experience on this, I am glad that in Malaysia tipping is not compulsary  tongue.gif .

thanks

yes there is a tipping habit there. example if you ask your driver go somewhere and u ask him park somewhere and wait for you awhile then when u are about to go there will be a guy(unless the guy is the guard for that shop then no need) to stop the traffic for you to allow your car reverse out then normally u should tip that guy if not just act stupid only. normally the tips range from 1k-3k IRD. becareful when u are at tangkuban perahu, if u look like tourist then those seller wil keep bugging u to buy their stuff or even offer picture service. they print on the spot for u.

hi all,

I'm going to Bandung soon. Wanna ask.. to go up to Tangkuban Perahu from any hotel near city would be good to use taxi? If yes, how much approx? I saw some mentioned that have to pay ticket before go up, is that ticket just to masuk only? or with a tour guide? how much is the ticket? what about those ppl who follow you up, is that a necesary? also about the mud treatment.. any charges on this?

Sorry if im asking a repeat questions.. too many pages too read till pening dee  rclxub.gif

Thanks!!

i went up to tangkuban perahu with a taxi cos me around 80k from cihampelas so if to and fro approx 160k IRD or less about there. and yes u need a ticket before u can enter. there will be a drive thru counter before ur taxi start going up the hill. if you are tourist then the ticket will cost 50k IRD if u are indonesian then 10k IRD only. when u reach up there the taxi will just park the car by the side then just get down and look around nothing much, but it smell pretty bad though cos of the sulphur i guess. about the mud treatment im not sure cos i dint try, u need to walk a little further down where there is some small tent like canopy.
