Angkot

1st DAY - 31 JANUARY 2013 (THURSDAY)

Kuala Lumpur - Bandung

Delayed flight. However Alhamdulillah safely landed at Bandara Husein Sastranegara Airport at 5.30pm 

Take a cab (Taxi Blue Bird-meter) and dropped off in Dago street, find a nice budget hotel to stay in. I didn’t make any reservation. Main redah je. Jangan tiru macam saya especially when you’re travelling on weekend or school holiday, surely most of the hotel were fully booked.

I decided to stay at Wilujeng Sumping Hotel, murah dan strategik.

Why I choose hotel in Dago area?

> nearby Kartika Sari (Tel: +62 22 4231355) – yummeh! *v*

> most of the factory outlet in Dago street

> Dago Night Market – Sat&Sun

> Dago Morning Walk - Sat&Sun

> lots of local independent shops

* Spare time at least 1 hour on the road due to traffic concerns

* Try to find any hotel in Cihampelas Street or Dago. There’s a lot of choices..

Few list of hotel details perhaps will help you;

a) Hilton Bandung Hotel (Sewa Harian)

Pusing je area Jalan Dago, Bandung saja tengok apa yang ada area berdekatan. Dekat area ni banyak buka local brand shops. Adalah dekat 15 kedai keluar masuk. Seronok belajar dan kenal orang-orang sana. Peramah betul, tak lekang senyum dekat orang especially tourist. Kenapalah orang Malaysia tak macam ni? -.-

Duration visit: 3 or 4 hours

2nd DAY - 1 FEBRUARY 2013 (FRIDAY)

Bandung                                                                         

By Supir - 400,000.00 + 50,000.00 (toll)

Nak ke Kawah putih kena bertolak pagi. Breakfast siap-siap sebab perjalanan jauh, dalam 2 jam. Biasanya Package Supir dah sediakan tempat-tempat menarik dalam satu jalan yang sama. Kalau tak ambil pun bayaran tetap sama.

7.00am - 12.00 pm (waktu telah ditetapkan oleh Supir)

All in - Kawah Putih -> Pemandian Air Panas Ciwalini -> Wisata Strawberry -> – pilihlah factory outlet mana nak pergi sama ada area Cihampelas atau Wisata Belanja Jalan Dago (FO).

* Kawah Putih operations hour: 7am – 5pm)

* Bring your own face mask or you can buy at the counter, if not mistaken it cost you RM5. Mahalkan? Minta kat clinic free je

Turun daripada Kawah Putih, saya pilih jalan di tempat lain selain Dago. Memandangkan hotel pun dah di Jalan Dago, baik pusing tempat lain dulukan..

Duration visit: 3 hours

Bank Indonesia Building

Jalan Braga, Bandung, Indonesia

Landmark: Situated near the airport, in the city center, this hotel is close to Braga City Walk, Bandung Post Office, and ITC Kebon Kalapa. Also nearby are Gedung Sate and Landmark Building

Gedung Sate, Postal Muzium, Heroes Monument, dan Geological Museum

Sebenarnya jarak perjalanan Jalan Dago ke Gedung Sate, Postal Muzium, Heroes Monument, dan Geological Museum tidaklah terlalu jauh. Layan borak sambil jalan tak sedar dah sampai. Rasanya dalam 15minit perjalanan. Tambahan pula tengah pasang niat nak kurus kenalah banyak berjalan. Jalan pun ada dugaannya, sepanjang jalan ada je jual macam-macam jenis makanan di tepi jalan. Berkeroh perut minta makan. Tipulah kalau tak try.  -.-‘

Duration visit: 3 or 4 hours

3rd DAY - 2 FEBRUARY 2013 (SATURDAY)

Bandung                                           

By Supir - 400,000.00

8.00am   Dago Morning Walk (jalan kaki 10minit sahaja dari hotel)

Duration time to visit; 11/2 hours

Kebetulan pulak mereka tutup jalan buat event di Dago street. Event tu sepanjang dalam 2 kilometer. Jalanlah sampai hujung jalan. Tak rasa penat pun, seronok tengok gelagat orang-orang sana. Setiap 100 meter ada je pentas kecil or aktiviti mereka buat, Tiba-tiba dengar lagu Sinaran Datuk Sheila Majid, rasa nak melompat je atas pentas!

9.30am   - 12.00 pm (waktu telah ditetapkan oleh Supir)

All in - Tangkuban Perahu – Tea Plantation – Sari Ater Hot Spring Resort – Lembang – Mode House – Factory Outlet

Tak kan pergi kosong je tak tahu legenda cerita Tangkuban Perahu.

so here you go; http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sangkuriang_(legenda)

How to get to Tangkupan Perahu (without Supir);

1. take cream color minivan which route ' st hall - lembang'

2. stop at ' lembang wet market '

3. take public bus which route ' bandung - subang'

4. stop at ' tangkuban perahu' ticket counter

5. take local minivan which route ' ticket counter - kawah'

6. return way please take the other way.

7. Taking a taxi or just book them for one full day wouldn't cost you more than RP100,000 (about RM 35.00 - 2011).

8. From Bandung Indah Plaza (BIP), take an ‘angkut’ heading to “CAHEUM – LEDENG”. 

he angkut will stop you at Terminal Ledeng (IDR 3000).

From the terminal, take a minivan or ‘Elep’ towards Subang and get down at Tangkuban '

Perahu (IDR 12000).

From the entrance of Tangkuban Perahu, it’s another 4-5km hike up on a really bad road. 

I’ve been told you could hire ‘motorcycle cabs’ to bring you up though I have not verified

that information. If you can ride a motorcycle, it’s a lot easier to rent one to get there.

*Di Tangkuban Perahu ada jual souvenir tapi agak mahal sebab mereka ambil dari kilang dan ada juga buatan tangan sendiri. Kalau berminat, tawarlah selagi boleh J Dah penat jalan di Tangkuban Perahu, saya pilih jalan di factory outlet. Rambang mata tapi nasib dapat kawal nafsu -.-‘

Duration visit: 2 hours

 Sari Ater Hot Spring Resort

Strawberry Park

Inilah Tangkuban Perahu

ada track untuk lihat lebih dekat dengan sulfur. Akan ada sedikit upah, tak ingat berapa. Upah seorang tapi 5 orang escort, rupanya yang lain tu berniaga. Kalau taknak beli pun tak apa tiada paksaan. 

will continue to the next post..lenguh!
