Last week i got chance to visit Bandung, Indonesia (yes, again). Among places i has been visited is Tangkuban Parahu. Let's check the photos while i share info about Tangkuban Parahu, who knows it can be a good info for those who may interested to visit this nice place.
Tangkuban
perahu is a volcano, 25 kilometers north of Bandung direction of
Lembang. Its location is in between Sagalaherang village, Sagalaherang
district, Subang regency and Cikole village, Lembang district, Bandung
regency.
This is Bandung's most famous tourist volcano just 28 km
north of the city. This volcano offers many places to see and explore.
Whether we look into the huge crater or hike down into it, stroll
through the forest on its slopes, or simply enjoy the splendid panoramic
scenery.
Mt. Tangkuban Perahu is an interesting destination that
everyone in the Bandung area is fond of visiting. When seen from
Bandung, Mt. Tangkuban Perahu has a distinctive shape, like an upside
down boat. Tangkuban Perahu means, in fact, "up-turned boat"
This peculiar shape has stimulated the fantasy of the Sundanese
people from early times as expressed in the Legend of Sangkuriang.
Geologically, Mt. Tangkuban Perahu has played a significant role
in the development of Parahyangan highlands. Eruptions have contributed
immensely to the hills north of Bandung through lava flowing into
the valleys and hardening into rock, thus forming big cliffs over
which waterfalls leap. Likewise, mud flows have formed a semi-circular
cone of gentle gradient (what geologists call "a fan"),
which is now a mass that blocked the valley of the ancient Citarum
River near present day in Padalarang (some 18 km west of Bandung),
this caused a lake to form covering the whole Bandung plain.
Here is the some views taken at Tangkuban Parahu. Enjoy...
