Amazing view of Malabar Tea Plantation. The crowd can be highly packed 11AM onwards so better to come during the weekdays or early morning. Access was quite far from Bandung city, around 2 hours. Beware of some bumpy roads especially when it’s raining. Food was just OK, I didn’t tried many. ATV was a painful experience. Waited for more than 40mins bcs of two groups. Bad traffic management, bad queue, and uncomfortable waiting area. Helpful staff. Toilet was clean in the morning but when the crowd gets in, you can’t expect much #wecreate

The presence of various types of rare and unique orchids is the main attraction of Orchid Forest Cikole for tourists who like natural beauty and exotic flowers. Apart from that, Orchid Forest Cikole also offers a variety of fun rides and activities that the whole family can enjoy.This tourist park has a very diverse collection of orchids, there are about 157 types of orchids that you can see here. Apart from that, you can also find various types of ornamental plants, such as anthurium, sansevieria, and bromeliads. This park is very beautiful with a stretch of cool green pine trees.

This stunning active volcano is pretty much on everyone’s Bandung bucket list and one of the prime Bandung attractions. Located just 30 kms from the North towards Lembang, it’s the perfect day trip from Bandung or even a picnic spot to enjoy with family or friends. I went there several times to gawk at the smoky crater and enjoy amazing weather up in the mountains. You can even choose to hike Tangkuban Perahu volcano – I have heard it is arduous and honestly never tried it myself. The 2-hour hike does reward you with a refreshing hot water spring but a lot of sulfur fumes as well. No matter what is your reason for visiting Tangkuban perahu, it is surely one of the top things to do in Bandung for all age groups. #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

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.

Note that seating is limited, so plan accordingly.⚠️ - Sweet Cantina The most popular gelato shop on Braga Street.🍨 It’s famous for its long lines throughout the day. 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!☺️

Disney themed cafe! You won’t regret coming here for a view and lots of photos!

#cityplaybook My first visit to Sedep Tea Plantation in Pangalengan, West Java, felt like stepping into a living postcard. The journey through endless emerald rows of tea bushes, blanketed under misty mountain skies, was nothing short of mesmerizing. Located around three hours by car from Bandung, the plantation offers a serene escape where the air stays crisp and cool—a perfect antidote to the city’s hustle. Pangalengan itself is a charming basecamp for explorers. I stayed in one of the cozy guesthouses nestled in the town, a mere 30-minute scenic drive from the plantation. While the highlight was undoubtedly wandering through Sedep’s lush green tapestry—a photographer’s paradise—the area also invites you to dive deeper into its agrarian soul and the region’s natural hot springs to unwind after a day of adventure. For those craving tranquility and a touch of rural magic, tea plantation at Sedep Pangalengan is more than a destination—it’s an experience where nature, culture, and relaxation blend seamlessly. Don’t forget to pack a sweater; the mountain breeze has a way of sneaking up on you! #teaplantation #tea #naturalwonders

After visiting Kawah Putih, I headed to Situ Patenggang Lake. The drive took about 30 minutes, and I reached the lake just as the sun was higher in the sky. The view was beautiful, with clear blue water surrounded by green hills and tea plantations. I walked around the lake, taking in the peaceful atmosphere. The gentle breeze and the sound of the water made me feel relaxed. I went to the ‘Batu Cinta’ or ‘Love Stone’ area, which is known as the heart of the lake. Standing there, I could see the whole lake and the small island in the middle called ‘Pulau Asmara.’ The story behind the love stone and the island made the place feel special and magical.

Situ patenggang is really nice. Place is a bit chilly. If you came during weekend or their Hari Liburan the place will be really crowded. Lucky for us we came during weekdays and only have few people during that time. Just that place is a bit rundown and in a bit renovation is going on during that time. #bandung #ciwidey #couplestrip #indonesia2024 #bandungtrip

📍NIMO HIGHLAND NIMO EYE ϵ( 'Θ' )϶ I arrived here after a long, shaky early morning bus ride from the capital Jakarta. It was a beautiful place with a spectacular view. It seems to be more of a place for local Indonesians to visit with friends or family on a short trip, rather than a tourist spot. There is also a cafe attached to the spot, and there are also facilities where you can stay overnight. #nimohighland #Indonesia#westjava #banjarsari#pangalengan#bandungregency

Deer Park @ Ranca Upas Escape We had an amazing time at Ranca Upas feeding the open-range deer. Carrots were sold in baskets for 20k each. We bought three baskets at first, but it wasn’t enough, so we ended up getting more. The highlight was spotting a fawn that seemed to be off to the side. My kids made sure to give it extra food, thinking it needed more attention. The chilly weather added to the experience, making it a refreshing outing. The interactive nature of feeding the deer up close was a unique experience, especially for the kids. It’s definitely a great spot for families looking for an outdoor adventure. Highly recommend! #septembertoremember #rancaupas #bandungtour #familyfriendlyfun #babyfriendly #wonderfulindonesia

Latest Hypest stay in West Java ♡ first Indigo hotel in Bandung, located in Dago. The design of the lobby is beautiful and modern. The lighting is also great at night. Love the waterfall-like staircase at the outdoor area. #indigohotel #bandung

#indonesiatrip This cafe feels like eating at grandma's little garden. I absolutely love this cafe! It has a charming, natural ambiance that feels so welcoming. The abundance of books adds to its cozy atmosphere. The food is delicious, and the menu offers a great variety. It's easy to find, and the staff is incredibly hospitable. The prices are worth it for the quality you receive. Recommend!

Is gaining popularity due to its 360° view of the city, especially when the weather is favorable. Imago hills leaves us in awe with its impressive architecture and extraordinary views. It's easy to forget everything when you're here. The best time is indeed during sunset, sitting with a cup of coffee as the sun slowly sets on the right side. At night, you'll be accompanied by the flickering lights of the city, which are so beautiful. Don't forget to bring a jacket as the air here is very cool. The restaurant on the top floor is currently under construction. #songkran2024 #mytravelhacks #cherryblossom2024 #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip #instatravel #goodfoods #foodphotography

Villa kubus could be an option aside from its unique villa design, with a capacity of up to 6 people per cube. There are 2 adjacent cubes located in Dago Pakar residential area, close to various culinary destinations and spots for relaxation. However, just enjoying the villa itself and the cool Dago air while brewing coffee in front of it is also a privilege. #songkran2024 #mytravelhacks #cherryblossom2024 #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip #instatravel #goodfoods #foodphotography

We stayed at Bobocabin Rancaupas, and there’s Captive Deer Park next to it. We are allowed to buy veggies and feed them directly like this. But be careful, once they know you have foods they’ll start running and following you around :D There’s also strawberry picking garden that you can try as destination, the strawberries are big, red and sweet! Overall my experience in Bobocabin was really great. The ambience and vibes are really comfy and back-to-nature. Was really happy to be able to sleep while seeing lake as a night view.
