Mixing Areas to Satisfy Visiting Bandung on One Day
There are areas in Bandung like Lembang, Ciwidey and Pangalengan. Every single area can be visited on one day. However, sometimes we follow a request to visit areas on one day. Here are two examples.
The adventure of Mr. Milan and wife visiting Pangalengan and Kawah Putih on one day
Pangalengan is an area that is different with Ciwidey. However, with Bandung Driver, we can visit Wayang Windu Panenjoan in Pangalengan and Kawah Putih in Ciwidey on one day. Wayang Windu is a natural attraction that is very beautiful in the South of Bandung. However, it is seldom to be visited because the popularity among foreigner less than Kawah Putih.
In Ciwidey, Kawah Putih is the most visited attraction. It offers sensational colorful crater that is very popular among travelers worldwide. Visitors from Europe very exited to visit it because from the history, a European is the first to find the crater when it is still in mystery and forbidden to see.
The Adventure of Mr. Nauffy and friend to experience Sunrise in Kawah Putih
The Kawah Putih area also offer sunrise tour. In Ciwidey Bandung, the sun rises between 5 to 6 AM. So by leaving Bandung city at 4 AM. We can experience sunrise in Kawah Putih because before sunrise time, travel duration from Bandung to Ciwidey only took one hour. The Kawah Putih has Sunan Ibu, that is the point to see sunrise in Kawah Putih. It becomes the highest sunrise point in Bandung. To view sunrise on time, it is suggested to wake up at 3 AM. It will give us enough time to prepare for our tour. Don’t forget to bring jacket because at that time in Kawah Putih is cold but not extreme.
In Ciwidey area where Kawah Putih is, there are several popular destination like the following:
- Rengganis, it is a popular destination with the longest suspension bridge to follow by walking. Below it, there is a valley with crater and hotspring area. With bridge and basket to cross, Rengganis has been a popular and a must to be visited by travelers around the world.
- Situ Patenggang, it is a popular lake in South Bandung near Rengganis. Together with Glamping lakeside, they form an integrated tourism site with one single ticket to visit the three of all.
- Strawberry farm, it is an interesting activity for families to experience picking strawberry and to become a farmer by wearing traditional Sundanese farming hat.
- Tea plantation, it is a tea field to walk and stroll. The tea field in Bandung is the extraordinary one because in every side of Bandung areas, there are tea plantation, from Lembang, Ciwidey and Pangalengan. No matter what area to be visited, we can always see tea field.
- Ranca Upas deerfarm, it is the most visited place among domestic and foreigner travelers. Situated in the most beautiful place in the world paradise, Ranca Upas is the most stunning to visit espescially during weekdays.
With the most advanced service from Bandung Driver, we can also mix areas in Bandung like Mr. Nauffy from Singapore does with his friend. Tangkuban Parahu is the northest side of the North Bandung in Lembang. In opposite with Kawah Putih in the South, Tangkuban Parahu when visited on the same day will take hours to arrive. So, we need to be patient during the tour to visit them all.
In the beginning of Malayan era in Bandung, that is the early of 2010, tourists from Riau, Malaysia and Singapore doing shopping directly in Bandung because at that time Bandung provided the cheapest textile stuff. However, with the instability of Rupiah currency nowdays, Bandung stuff become higher in price, while Ringgit and Singapore dollar always stable. In addition, many trader from Malaysia, making cooperation with trader in Bandung to send commodities to Malaysia to be sold there. What remain in Bandung todays are natural view, cultural, historical, educative and services. However, for many shopper and culinary hunter, Bandung still interesting because the creativity of Bandung people never end.
Tourism and the people
In tourism industry, anything matter but the people. Nothing to see in a place where the people is not having mindset of tourism either by training or preparation. It is like opening a tourism village. Suddenly, a small village become crowded with people wanting to visit it because the people now ready to serve. From the beginning, the place is exist, the mountain is there. However, without people, nothing to see. Bandung, the people by default ready for any visitors. The hospitality come by default. In Bandung, even a building can be an attraction. On the other side, shopping is only one aspect in tourism industry. Talking about shopping, stuff from China is the cheapest one in the world. What we sell in Bandung is relaxation.
