On my first trip to Bandung on 2007, we went to Tangkuban perahu ,an active volcano, situated 30 km north of the city of Bandung in the direction of Lembang. Since the trip was to short, we don't have enough time to visit Kawah Putih. So, we do not want to miss that chance during our trip this time. Kawah Putih located in South Bandung. Tooks about 2 hours drive from Bandung city. To get there, we rent a car with a driver. The  rental fee is IDR 500,000 all in one for 12 hours. We get this service thru our driver who took us from Airport to hotel when we arrived. The rates consider cheap as the normal price between 500,000rupiah to 750000 rupiah for 12 hours.
