Nice scenery ! However the sulphuric smell is a turn off . You can buy sugrical mask for IDR 10000/- . Entrance fee was IDR15000/- per person. But you have to standby another IDR 150000/- if you are travelling in a car.

The crater was absolutely wonderful, it has so many interesting object to see. I got a lot of nice photoshoot in here. Overall the place was quite amazing. But one thing that makes it worst is only the ticket price for personal vehicle. Jeez... it cost 150k for 1 car.!! It's to expensive.!!

It has a beautiful view and it is a little chill up there. Those with asthma are not encourage to go up because of the sulphur smell.

It takes around 2 hour from where we live to reach Kawah Putih. The air contains concentration of sulfur might make people has difficulties in breathing, therefore it is suggested to bring a mask along. Bring a jacket too as it is quite windy up there!

You'll never get tired enjoying its beauty. Located around 4 hours from Central Bandung, this crater is worth the effort. 1. How much? Rp 12,000 for domestic tourist.
