Individuals of Bandung are likely one of the most fortunate group with this earth. Featuring its U-shaped bowl-like landscape located almost 1km above sea-level, Bandung is surrounded with large mountains with few of them classified as still active volcanoes. The temperature constantly hovers around 15-25 degree Celsius (68-77 degree Fahrenheit) throughout the year, the best temperature for many of us. Various natural factors for example the volcanic soil, high rainfall and temperate climates contributes to higher level of soil fertility and perfect agricultural ground. Once known as Paris Van Java (The Paris of Java), Bandung is obviously prepared to enchant every of her visitors. Allow me to share the 5 trails you shouldn’t miss when you are in Bandung.
Shopping Trail. Since 1980s, Bandung continues to be famously called the clothing warehouse of Indonesia. Today, the sprouting existence of Factory Outlets (FOs) has created Bandung popular among casual shoppers or fashionistas, and possesses earned its reputation well even among foreign tourists. Great number of FOs are concentrated along Jalan Setiabudhi or Jalan Dago. If you’re not running against time, then you most definitely desire to start a FO adventure and visit each shop. In case time may be the essence, you most likely need to drop by just a few of which. If time permits only 1 location to choose from, my recommendation will be the all-time favorite Rumah Mode (RM) which is located along Jalan Setiabudhi. This might be just about the most well-known establishment in Bandung. If you happen to have forfeit on your path, you can just ask the traffic police for direction (just mention Rumah Mode) and they will tell you where it really is.
Today, RM offers more than only a fashion shopping experience. On the recent times, they have added food outlets included in its attraction. You can enjoy casual al-fresco dining experience with that traditional touch while giving your hair a culinary treat – from Indonesian (Mie Goreng Jawa, Tahu Mendoan and…) to Chinese to Western cuisines. Your meals are cost-effective. To help you simply spend the entire day pampering your fashion and palette as well. While my job is just not in promoting RM, one more thing to that differentiate RM off their FOs is the absence of street vendors who oftentimes will persistently follow your every single step.
Nature Trail. Surrounded by mountains and highlands, Bandung offers ample outdoor trails if you would like to get close to nature. Tangkuban Perahu is the most prominent volcanic mountain in Bandung and certainly a must-visit destination. If you are into skin treatment, you can get sulfur at very cheap price. I enjoy the batik wood they changed to multi-purpose ornament like pencil holders, flower vase and also cigarette receptacles. However the insufficient quality of guarantee always stop me from buying them. Ciater natural hot spring spa provides an intimate exposure to I think mother nature. You can buy the population pool (always very crowded), public-private pool (requires additional entry ticket) or private pool (pay for half-an-hour usage) that accommodates two persons at a time. Ciwidey has become the best kept secret of Bandung. Unlike Dago or another aspects of Bandung where tourism boom has marred the attractive face of nature, Ciwidey has thus far remained unspoiled. However this also means that you ought to expect less exotic dining options here. Kawah Putih can be a major attraction in Ciwidey.
