After visiting Lembang in the north of Bandung, it was time to visit Ciwidey. Ciwidey is about an hour southwest of Bandung. We were able to get to Ciwidey easily on an angkot minibus from Bandung. The main highlight of Ciwidey is the White Crater aka Kawah Putih. The White Crater is a gorgeous turquoise blue lake inside a volcanic crater. We had seen pictures of it (and even in this video) the color in real life is SOOO much better!!! We had never seen anything like it!
When you arrive at Kawah Putih you buy your tickets at the bottom then have the option to: walk the 5km to the top (we love walking but this is NOT recommended), pay for a shuttle bus to the top, or drive your own car and pay for parking at the top (which we’ve heard isn’t cheap). We paid 110,000 Rp each for the entrance ticket combined with the shuttle. It was actually really cold on the drive up! We then spent a while exploring around the white crater. There are some additional places you can pay for such as the long wooden pier that goes into the middle of the crater or the bamboo skywalk that goes up the mountain around the crater. We did the second one and the views from up above were so good! We definitely recommend it!!
When we were finished at the White Crater, we walked back down to the main street to try to get the yellow angkot bus to our next destination. On google maps we were trying to go to the Perkebunan Teh Rancabali Tea Plantation. We didn’t see a business, so we jumped off the angkot and explored on foot. We were amazed at the tea plantation! It was also gorgeous!!! We bought some strawberries from street vendors back on the main road and waited for the same angkot again.
We were planning on going to some hot springs that we found on google maps, but the angkot ended up going a different way. So instead we ended up at Patenggang Lake Rancabali. It’s not where we were planning on going, but it was also gorgeous! A cool lake surrounded by trees, fog, and tea plantations! We wanted to take a boat ride, but after we stopped for some Indonesian food (Nasi Goreng and Ayam Bakar ๐) it was raining with thunder and lightning…so we decided a boat wasn’t the best idea. We explored the lake for a little then headed back to our hotel to eat our delicious strawberries. We had such a good day exploring Ciwidey!!!!
Book our amazing hotel that’s so cheap on the weekdays!: https://www.agoda.com/partners/partnersearch.aspx?pcs=1&cid=1904711&hid=18103670

If you are caught in the rain, don't be ashamed in Indonesia, you can ask for shelter anywhere, and don't be shy to ask, Indonesians are kind and friendly to anyone.

Perkebunan teh Ciwedei Bandung
๐น๐๐ผ๐๐ผโค๏ธโค๏ธ
tea plantation cool
Anda berdua pasangan hebat…dulu saya cukup lama di perkebunan rancabali ciwidey dari SD, SMP dan SMA, sedikit banyaknya saya tahu seluk beluk daerah di sana, dulu danau itu namanya Patenggang, dan sekarang jd patengan dng berbagai persi cerita agar menarik, tp ada yg terlewat di danau itu dulu dikenal ada mitos ikan besar yg di beri nama si layung dan si begu, klo batu cinta itu baru di kenal sekarang dulu tdk ada ceritanya, hanya batu biasa..mungkin dibuat agar lebih menarik.๐๐๐ saja. Tp saya salut pd vlog natalie dan carles..semoga sehat.
Jangan lupa ke Bukittinggi
Sehat selalu Natalie dan carles
Enjoy

AKU TAK SABAR MENUNGGU VT2 BARU MU NATALIEโคโคโคโค
You need study bahasa Indonesia .Its important for all activity you in here
Ini video Carles dan Natalie yang amazing. Natalie dan Carles tampak menikmati kearifan bumi Parahyangan dengan transportasi Angkot dan makan strawberi lokal. So positive! Saya kagum bisa lihat jelas Kawah Putih dan Tea Plantation dengan drone kalian, BAGUS SEKALI. Saya tidak sabar menantikan video dan review-review Natalie dan Carles ke destinasi wisata lainnya di Jawa Barat – ke tempat-tempat yang kami bakal takjub juga seperti kalian, seperti: Garut, Purwakarta, Cirebor dan Sukabumi ๐ sebelum Carles dan Natalie menuju propinsi Indonesia berikutnya.
Selamat menikmati kunjungan kalian di Jawa Barat. Warm greetings!
The city must be visited while you in java island. Its is jakarta, bandung, yogyakarta, and the last malang. After that you can go to Bali, Lombok island, and labuan bajo. End go to east part of indonesia will be Great. Like sulawesi and maluku.
Hi Nathalie…. me living in Bandung and indeed i do several time visiting the blue crater. the tea plantation its all refreshing…. cant wait for another vlog
You should've rented a motorbike.
โfrom Ottawa ๐จ๐ฆ
why don't you bring snacks . sit and tell stories with a beautiful background. howahh
Hai natalie and charles. You must try to go to Mount Bromo (East Java), The Best Volcano in Indonesia.
Complete with Epic Sunrise, Sea Sand, Teletubbies Hill and of course an active volcano crater ๐
Really enjoy your pictured, especially the plan tea , ..i suggest you komunicate with As Indonesian people to guide you and tell the real for everything include, price and cost to go or try
Thank you for coming and support locals there. Actually there is about 600 hectare tea plantation in Ciwidey, with a small part of quinine plant. It has been around since 1870. By the way, for about 2 and half hour south from Ciwidey, you'll find the coast with many pretty spot beaches
Welcome to Bandung. We hope you enjoy the atmosphere ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฉ
๐
Happy life ๐
Perjalanan yang sangat menyenangkan, tetap semangat
The small wooden chair inside the angkot that Carles sat is known to some as the "kursi artis" (artist chair).๐
18:28 i just back from there like 3 days ago , and dont worry They charge me too , me and my friends, we came like 6 people in one car . But its all worth-it. You guys should catching sun rise at ciwidey ๐๏ธ camping ground. Its amazing
I hope you have a good time in bandung, its been long time when i go to kawah putih, and its nice experience, i hope you guys too..
Di ciwidey banyak tempat yang bagus dan pemandiam air panas . Ada Restoran Berbentuk Perahu Besar di dekat danau dan diantara kebun teh namanya Glamping Lakeside Rancabali

This vlog makes me feel very homesick for my beloved country, Indonesia, but I can't, I'm still bound by a work contract in Dubai, I miss my hometown, Bandung โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Ahhh, u guys deserve a subs!!
Really enjoy this series of Bandung.. especially when you're impressed by the tea plantation..
I hope it'd be a good experience considering the last episode when you're upset about Tangkuban Perahu volcano ๐
If u still there, better go to โGraciaโ hotspring instead of โSari Aterโ, much better establishment, altho the water temp is slightly below what hotspring usually does but on the other side means you can dip and relax while chatting longer that other hotspring
Wow mantap bos ๐ฏ๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐ฏ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Semoga tak ada yang menaikan harga liar kepada para wisatawan asing ya…
You guys are so nice and cool couple.. thnx for make a cool video about Bandung and Ciwidey.
50.000๐ญ๐๐๐๐
In Indonesia, it's the rainy season, you can buy a folding umbrella
