The most well known mountain in Bandung. Called so because it resembles a capsized boat from a distance. There are three craters, the main crater Ratu, the secondary Upas right next to it, and the small Domas 20 minutes away downhill on foot from the two craters. While you cannot get down to the crater because of its very steep elevation (and is fenced), you can still enjoy the marvelling view of Ratu and Upas. It's a photographer's paradise! Most tourists only tend to see these two craters and forget Domas, the only crater that can get you an up close and personal encounter. You'll feel what a typical volcano has to offer, such as bubbling mud, boiling water, and hissing smell of sulphur, within a safe distance of course. You can even boil an egg by dunking it in the hot water! But to see Domas Crater you have to hire a guide which in fact it is not necessary. If you do not want to buy anything, politely and persistently say "No" to the pushy vendors that sell souvenirs and the other vendors will not offer you anymore, because they offer someone in a queue.
Theme park with European-style buildings.
Do outbund activities such as riding flying fox, rope bridge walking, and playing paintball.
Ride on hot air balloon, zip bike, hang glider, sky swing, and sky tree.
Sundanese food. You eat at a hut in the middle of valley near a small waterfall and river. At night it's really amazing to walk along candlelit pathways. Eating out really means eating out here. The atmosphere here is enchanting and magical. Lots of trees, bushes and secluded "pondok" small huts for relaxing and food, cool as it is set in a valley with the sound of running water from the waterfall beside you. Food prices are higher than in Bandung because you need to cover the cost of the use of the huts.
Known for the sate kelinci or rabbit satay (skewers), the restaurant also has a few other dishes including chicken satay and goat satay, as well as fried noodles and rice.
One of the famous milk cafés in Lembang, selling also yoghurt, ice cream, pastries, etc.

3-stars hotel. Near Indomaret and near sticky rice food stalls and other cheap and moderate food prices.
