Tangkuban Perahu is one of the most famous tourist destinations in West Java, especially for travelers seeking stunning natural scenery and a fascinating local legend. Located about 30 km north of Bandung, this active volcano offers breathtaking crater views and fresh, cool air.
The mountain's unique shape resembles an overturned boat, which is linked to the legendary tale of Sangkuriang—a classic folklore about forbidden love between a son and his mother that ended in a curse, forming this mountain. Beyond its historical and cultural significance, Tangkuban Perahu has several craters worth visiting, such as Kawah Ratu, Kawah Domas, and Kawah Upas. Kawah Ratu is the most famous, with its vast landscape and sulfuric smoke rising from rock crevices.
For those looking for a more immersive experience, you can take a short hike to Kawah Domas, where you can feel the warmth of the sulfuric water and even try a natural foot soak that is believed to have health benefits.
Tangkuban Perahu is the perfect choice for those seeking a nature getaway in Bandung with easy access.
