Kawah Putih - A volcanic crater in Bandung

Kawah Putih also known as white crater is a volcanic crater lake in Ciwidey, located about 50km from south of Bandung, Indonesia. It is a stunning, unique & natural volcanic lake that was gifted by an eruption on Mount Patuha in 11th century. The crater lake is surrounding by white color & turquoise color of water which is very stunning feel when we see it by our own eyes. 😱 Although the crater is amazing, but we also need to be cautious, because we are walking on sulfuric white powdery sand and rock. Must be very careful when taking the best photos scenes 🤣 Kawah Putih is approximately 2 hours from Bandung city, it is a iconic & one of the famous tourists attractions in Bandung. #kawahputih #craterlake #bandung #indonesia

White Crater

Find Your Inner Explorer at White Crater, Pasirjambu 🌋🌿 Step into a surreal world where mist swirls above emerald lakes and volcanic cliffs—White Crater (Kawah Putih) is Pasirjambu’s star, perfect for nature lovers and culture seekers alike. Come for the scenery, stay for the unique local vibes! 🧭 Route & Must-Dos: Start early to beat the crowds and catch the magical morning mist over the crater lake. After entering (ticket only IDR 13,000), stroll the main boardwalk for up-close views of the turquoise water and surreal white sands—don’t miss the wooden platforms for dreamy vistas! Circling the crater rim, you’ll discover small cultural stalls offering Sundanese snacks and locally brewed coffee—a real taste of West Java. 📸 Insta-Worthy Spots: Best shots are at the lakeside curve (watch how sunlight plays on the water!) and the boardwalk overlooking the milky crater. Extra points for capturing the distant cliffs framed by lush forest. Pro tip: Early mornings = soft light and fewer people in your frame. 💡 Visiting Tips: Wear a mask or bring a scarf—the sulfur scent is strong! Dress in layers, as the mountain weather shifts fast. Weekdays are way quieter than weekends. Don’t linger too long by the shore due to the fumes. Small local shuttles can take you from the gate up if you prefer skipping the short hike. ⚠️ Precautions: Move away from the shore if you feel dizzy—the sulfur is pretty potent. Supervise kids closely near the water’s edge. Bring a portable charger for phones—no shops on the rim! #Pasirjambu #WhiteCrater #NatureEscape #WestJava #TravelTips
