Perahu = Sampan
Tangkuban Perahu, its volcanic smoke billows like a overturned boat from far... I had told En. Arip earlier that we were going to Tengkuban Parahu, but I didn't mention what was going to be there, and neither did he Google about it before the Bandung trip. He thought it was going to be a place with a huge sampan, by the beach... Hehehehe....
The "Kawah Ratu", the main crater which is no longer active...
The ugly, pink horse... so sad to see this...
Forced to be photographed together by our hired ranger...
A short briefing about Tangkuban Perahu, and the route to its hot spring...
A mounted leopard... the victim of poisonous volcanic gases...
This poor guy, too... At the Information Centre prior to the hike down...
The staff was so nice! But nice in a cunning way, or "ada udang di sebalik batu"!
We walked through the jungle for almost 40 minutes...
Bumped into a handicraft stall in the middle of the jungle!
Beautiful, rite? But I got quite annoyed with the souvenir peddlers following me everywhere...
Left: the hardened lava from a previous eruption... We actually walked on this slippery track.
Finally, we reached the hot spring, after walking almost 40 minutes!
They said FREE foot massage...
Yes FREE massage! After this "special therapy", they will force u to buy their overly-expensive souveniers. We couldn't avoid it, as we were surrounded by 8 of them, with our camera and shoes in their hands. We had no options, and ended up spending 4 million RP for some stupid souvenirs! DAMN these pests!, ...

hi Wahdi,
been reading your blog for a while. Actually I've been to Tangkuban Perahu 3 times but have never been down to Kawah Domas as my driver would always says it is a long walk down. Hmm, looking at the therapy, next time is a must. Did you manage to go to Kawah Putih? The locals says it is nice here.

Anggap ajalah bayar berjuta2 sebagai sedekah. Bukan orang lain pun - saudara2 kita juga .....

Wasn't expecting it was a long way down to the hot spring..bak kata Nadia AF "redah jerr"..masa tu pregnant 3bln! hehehe.. escort punya la ramai sampai ke bawah..mau dekat 10 orang. Each of them voluntarily offer to caryy our belongings..termasuklah yg dukung anak i..*lol*..of course the ask some upah in return laa...we're forced by one of them to buy the strawberries...napelah husband i beli..wherebuy we can simply petik kat ladang jer...
sara - ahahaha mesti parents ingat anaknya dah mati terkena gas beracun :P of ocs i beli gelang rantai tasbeh batu besi tu sema! :P
Faz- wahhhh pregnant pun gigih turun bawah? hehe bahaya tu!
nothing is free.. ahaha
yeah tangkuban perahu was a really beautifull place
n u should go to kawah putih too
the place r really mesmorizing
Hi, so sorry to hear your experience with that "bandits". Somebody must report them to the police. Well, next time, whenever you go, please remember that nothing's free in this world.
aw cmon peeps! lets not call indonesia as indon.
u dont like da pirates dvd? disapprove it? dont buy it!
as simple as that.
pirates stuff are everywhere because of the buyer.
jus don't curse the country. curse those irresponsible people who produce pirates dvd.
oh my... as an Indonesian & Bandung resident myself, i'm ashamed of what that jerks did to charge overpriced souvenir. 4 million is way too much for Tangkuban Parahu's stuff, bro.
may you consider it as sedekah, so Allah could give you much much better in return.
next time, better bring a local guide :)
