Being in Garut which is so near volcanic mountains, naturally, there are many hotspots to discover. To me, the highlight of the trip was the hike up Mount Papandayan.
If you're into boiling mud pools and hissing steam columns, then you might find Kamojang Crater super awesome. I can't say I'm geeky enough to truly appreciate the natural wonders of the geyser, it's interesting enough to warrant a visit.
Kamojang crater is located on Mount Guntur and is listed as an active volcano of Indonesia because of its geothermal activities. There are 23 active geysers in the form of bubbling mud pools here. I stuck my finger in and found the heat tolerable.
Located near the crater is the Darajat Power Station, which is the 10th largest geothermal power stations in the world. The power station comprises of three plants serving the provinces of Java and Bali.
