Instagrammable Places In Bandung

Yes, you read that right! An actual active volcano that looks like an overturned boat!

The three craters – Domas Crater, Ratu Crater, and Upas Crater form the Tangkuban Perahu. Out of the three, Domas Crater is the only one you can hike to get close to it, as the other two remain active craters. 

It is one of the most popular tourist spots in Bandung. Itโ€™s no surprise either as there are so many activities here. 

Instagrammable Places In Bandung

If youโ€™re not up for hiking, you can opt to stroll around the area to admire and snap the scenic view of Ratu Crater. You can park at the upper parking lot and almost immediately see the Ratu Crater!

Instagrammable Places In Bandung

You could hike to the Domas Crater, where you can enjoy a soothing foot massage in the mud or dip your feet in the hot springs. You can even buy eggs cooked on the hot surface!

Upas Crater is smaller and less accessible compared to the other two. If youโ€™re up for it, there is a hiking trail that connects Upas Crater and Domas Crater. 

It may get cold or rainy there so donโ€™t forget to bring your jacket. There are food stalls where you can enjoy their snacks if youโ€™re hungry. As you will be doing plenty of walking, a good pair of hiking shoes is a must.

From my experience, while youโ€™re at Tangkuban Perahu, many locals will keep following you, attempting to sell their wares at high prices. 

Some locals may even offer their services as a guide to Domas Crater. However, as you reach Domas Crater, they might tell you they canโ€™t accept tips and insist you purchase wares from them instead. 

In my opinion, this is a breathtaking place to visit if itโ€™s your first time in Bandung. Just stand your ground and be firm to say no to the pushy sellers. 

Admission Fee (Indonesians): IDR 30,000 (USD 1.95)
