Things to Do in Tasikmalaya

For panoramic views of the city and ’burbs, take a hike up the 620 steps to the crater of Mount Galunggung. The best time to visit this active volcano is when the sun is just rising, as temperatures will be lower, crowds will be thinner and pretty pastel colours will be lighting up the skies. Don't forget your swim gear, as the nearby natural hot springs offer a spot to indulge in a dip—just be prepared for the “fragrant” smells of the sulfur-rich waters. You’ll feel great—you may not even want to shower off in your Tasikmalaya hotel—even as you wonder if that latest waft of scent is from the springs or your fellow travellers.

Make another waterside pit stop at the Situ Gede Lake on the outskirts of Tasikmalaya. This peaceful spot is surrounded by plantations as well as a host of food vendors, so it's the perfect place to sample Indonesian delicacies like gado gado (think satay-covered, boiled veggies) and ayam goreng (juicy and crispy fried chicken).
