🇮🇩 Kawah Putih: A Beautiful Crater

When you are in Indonesia, one thing you must know is that Indonesia is the country with the most volcanoes in the world. Hence you definitely should take time in Indonesia to go and take a look with your own eyes some of the absolutely stunning volcanic craters there. Last month, I went to Kawah Putih, which literally means white crater. This is a top choice if you are based in Jakarta. Kawah Putih is located south of Bandung, which is a quick high-speed train ride from Jakarta. You can take the “Whoosh” high speed train from Jakarta to Bandung in 30 minutes, then a 2 hour ride to Kawah Putih. Once at Kawah Putih, you will be at over 2000 metres above sea level and that will feel really good in the normal heat of Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Most tourists would just stay around the crater but the best part is always off the beaten track, right? I would recommend heading to the area behind with tea plantations as well as a hike up to get a panoramic view of the crater. Truly spectacular. #indonesia #bandung #kawahputih

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
