Bandung - Our tour driver picked us up at 6:35am for a journey up to Tangkuban Parahu, a famous dormant volcano in Bandung that lies 30km north of Bandung city. The last time this volcano erupted was in 1969. It took us more than an hour to reach the crater. Upon arrival, there were many locals, tourist and touts selling everything.
