1. Take an Amazing Shot of ‘Kawah Putih’ (White Crater)

Kawah+Putih

Kawah Putih is one of the craters of Mount Patuha, a mountain about 50 km to the southwest of Bandung in Ciwidey area, and one of the many volcanoes in west Java including Mt Malabar, Mt Wayang, and Mount Papandayan. There used to be a sulfur mine at Kawah Putih, hence the strong sulfur smell, so make sure you prepare some kind of scarf or face mask to cover your mouth while you’re there. Kawah Putih’s striking whitish-blue color and easy to access location makes it a popular among the locals for wedding pictures.

2. Marvel the View of Situ Patenggang (Lake Patengang)
