After exploring Bandung city, we were so excited to check out some other places in Bandung, starting with the town of Lembang. Lembang is about 30 minutes north of Bandung city, up in the mountains. The temperature is a lot cooler up there! We got a hotel along the main road of Lembang to start our exploring day early the next morning. Our first stop was the famous Tangkuban Perahu volcano. After seeing some other amazing volcanos in Sumatra, we were so excited for Tangkuban Perahu!!! We got directions from our hotel and set out on our adventure. First we had to take the white angkot, then we had to change to the orange angkot which we could take almost the whole way to Tangkuban Perahu. When we arrived at the entrance to the volcano, they told us that we had to pay 300,000 Rp each to enter!!! This was the highest price we'd been quoted for anything yet in Indonesia! Even our hotel was only 117,000 Rp/night (we didn't name it as it wasn't the best...), so 600,000 Rp total to enter the volcano was out of the question for us! This started our day off very badly as we were really looking forward to Tangkuban Perahu.
We decided to start walking down the road to try to figure out something else to do. We then started talking to some locals with motorcycles who said it was too far to walk to the next place we wanted to go, so we got a ride with them. They took us up the road to Orchid Forest Cikole. We didn't know much about it other than it said it was a botanical garden. It seemed a lot more geared towards families/instagram photoshoots, however we still had a good time here! We walked through the gardens to see all the orchids, played with some rabbits, and enjoyed a fun game of mini golf. There were some other fun activities you could pay for such as zip lines or horseback riding, but we were actually cold in Lembang!! We decided to leave Orchid Forest Cikole and head to the famous hot springs in Lembang: Sari Ater Hot Springs. We tried to call a Grab taxi to get there and we were lucky that there was a car right at Orchid Forest! I don't think there are many Grabs in Lembang..
We got to Sari Ater and unfortunately it was Saturday......which means the hot springs were SO busy!!! We paid for our tickets and then we were very confused as there isn't much information there. Luckily we found some nice massage guys right by the entrance. We wanted to get a foot massage anyway, so they walked us the whole way to the changing rooms so we could change into water attire. We then had a nice massage in the hot water! After the massage we continued to walk around Sari Ater, but the hot springs were so busy!! We actually didn't get back into the water. We tried to call another Grab to get back, but Sari Ater is too far away from the city that we couldn't get a car. We ended up walking to the main road and hoping an angkot would come by that we could jump on. We got lucky as we didn't have to wait too long before jumping on the angkot and getting back to our hotel in Lembang!
I believe Lembang would be a great place to visit IF you can pay the local price for the volcano (30,000 Rp instead of 300,000) and if you go to the hot springs on a weekday when there are less people. Unfortunately we didn't have the best time 🥺
