Tangkuban Parahu is one of the most famous volcanoes in Java. It is a dormant volcano 25 KM north of Bandung city. In administrative term, it is located in two regencies: West Bandung Regency and Subang Regency. Here I provide a useful information if you want to get there:

The craters on the volcano are best viewed on hot season or before 2PM on wet season (December - February). Sometimes the craters are hidden below the fog/smoke on rain season. If you find the crater is hidden below the smoke, you can wait for a while until the crater is visible again.

It takes about one upto one & a half hours from Bandung city in normal condition and longer in bad traffic condition, such as on the weekend. If you come to Bandung on weekend, you need to go to the volcano early morning to avoid bad traffic.

Visiting volcano on hot season is better than on rain season (December - February).

There are many peddlers selling crafts and souvenirs on there. Few of them will approach you as soon as you get out of your car. If you do not want to buy any craft from them, just say "no thanks". If you ask a question about the product, usually they will follow you wherever you go until you buy his product. It is a little annoying thing for most tourists.

There are three main craters (kawah): kawah Ratu (Queen crater), Upas crater (located next to the Queen), & Domas crater (located further down than the Queen). The biggest crater is the Queen crater. It is around 500 M deep from the edge of the crater's mounth. If you come by car, you do not need to take a walk into the Queen because we can park the car just on the edge of this crater.
​
If you want to get closer to a crater, directly boil an egg there, and soak your feed with sulfuric mud; the Domas crater is the answer. You can reach the Domas from the Queen or from Domas car parking lot. To go there, you have to pay an additional ticket and a local guide (it is required as a rule of the mountain administrator). Totally it cost about IDR 250,000 for an hour.

Lately, traveling seems to be a primary need for some people. Usually they visit local attractions or even travel up to the neighboring countries. Many people have a fear of whether the visited place is safe or not. There are so many places in this world that could be considered unsafe, maybe in your neighborhood, there is something like that. However, it is fully able to handle if you consider some of the following traveling tips.

1. Recheck 
Make it a habit to recheck your luggage when leaving from somewhere. Travelling lets you carry more stuff, so you will easily forget to leave a jacket or a journal in places that you will visit.

2. Put Sources of Money in Different Places
If you do traveling, do not put all the money, credit cards and ATM cards in a wallet or purse. It is better to separate some of these things in different places so as not to complicate you when one of these objects is lost.

3. Avoid Putting Wallet in Rear Pocket
Never put a wallet in rear pocket when you're traveling somewhere. It is intended to avoid pickpocketing. It is better to put the wallet in front pocket or it is safer if you put it in inside jacket pocket.

4. Scan All Important Documents
Scan all your important documents and put in a private email or smartphone. Or the easy way is by photocopying all passports, visas, travel insurance, and other things and storing them in a place.
You will be in trouble if your identity or personal letter is lost while traveling to a place. Scanning important documents will help you guard and get the documents you need easily.

5. Never Believe Others Too Easily 
It is normal if you're traveling somewhere and we do not believe with the local residents. However, there are some limitations that may need to be remembered, such as visiting a high-risk area. You should be able to trust the locals in order to get help when experiencing difficulties.

6. Injecting Vaccination
Visit your doctor or hospital before traveling to get vaccination or immunization. In addition, you should also pay attention to the precautions when experiencing health problems.

7. Do not Show Off Your Valuables
If you travel somewhere and you have more treasure than local people, it is better not to show off your valuables. This is to avoid a thief that makes you a target. Leave your jewelry in hotel and put your camera in the bag when it is not in use.

8. Don’t Force Yourself For New Things
Never force yourself to learn riding a motorcycle or jet sky outside your own country. For example, in Thailand 38 people die every day because of a motorcycle accident. There are several traveling insurance that will not cover it.

9. Ask the Instructor Qualifications 
If you want to try new things like diving or perhaps something more challenging such as bungee jumping, then you should ask the operator or instructor qualifications for safety. There is always a reason why every course has lower price than usual. PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) has a list of qualified coaches.

10. Never Leave Your Goods in Public Places
Perhaps you often hear this, but there are still many people who still do it. Always hook your bags in the legs or chair if you're in a restaurant.

11. Giving is Better 
There are some simple rules, but many people find it difficult to keep up. If you are mugged, just give your goods like wallet or watch. This is not a problem if you have travel insurance. Do it so that you are not injured.

12. Do not Give Something to Beggars
There is an exception on this, like a monk. But in general, do not ever give money to people on the street. If you want to help, donate amount of money to a local charity agency.

13. Beware of Using Your Credit Card in Internet Cafe
Computers in internet cafes may have a keylogger software or hardware that can detect your username account and password or credit card information. The easiest way to avoid this is to open multiple browsers and insert some incorrect data to a browser that you have opened.

14. Never Petting Wild Dog or Cat 
This is a thing you have to remember, never petting a dog or a stray cat. Most likely some of the wild animals are infected with rabies. In addition, never feed the wild monkeys if you do not want to lose valuables.

15. Always Be vigilant with your Travel Partners
It often happens that your partners take risks that will endanger your safety. They will ask for help from people who are reluctant to be approached. If they continue to make you uncomfortable, try to separate from them.
​
16. Look for Travel Insurance
The last and most important is to look for travel insurance. This is to cover medical costs if you get sick or injured while abroad. Hospital costs can quickly drain your pockets, even for minor injuries. So, if you love traveling, to have travel insurance is important.
