AREA Kamojang tour is only about 40 kilometers south of Bandung. From the city of Bandung, the path can be achieved is through Ranchi, then to the District Majalaya. From this Majalaya Sub You can ask where the road leading Kamojang. Because of the way around the center of this district is quite complicated, we recommend that you ask after are not far from the square Majalaya.
Aside from Majalaya, Kamojang also can be reached from the direction of Garut city. The road through terrain is quite heavy because Majalaya continues to climb, and approached Kamojang, winding his way as he continues to climb sharply. Small horse-powered vehicles (1000-1300 cc) with the number of passengers much should not pass this point because some times occur vehicle which slipped backwards because no strong uphill.
If via Garut, way to go over ramps so that the relative can be passed any class of vehicle. The distance from the city of Garut to Kamojang about 25 miles.
Entrance to the area is not expensive. Only Rp 2,000 per person, and Rp 3,000 for parking cars. The rest, you do not need to spend money again, except use the bathroom and enjoy the food and drinks at a shop that was there.
Area Kamojang Park Nature Reserve about 10 hectares, but this time used an area of 7.8 hectares. Here there are 23 craters, two of which shaped lake with smoke billowing from the water surface.Here too there is a "train crater" which is actually the former geothermal wells dug in the Dutch era. Steam comes out of this well from a distance of 200 meters and still be heard loud, shows how strong the pressure from inside the Earth.
At the beginning of entering this region, an unusual sight that I encountered a lot of big pipes that culminate in several buildings.They are a Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP), which is managed by PT. Pertamina and PT. Indonesia Power, and it was here for the first time, geothermal energy is used (as proposed by the citizens of Dutch nationality, JB Van Dijk in 1918), commercial (1983).
Entering deeper, I see several craters include Manuk crater, crater train. Given name has its own meaning as Manuk crater caused some of the holes produces a sound that resembles the sound of birds or Train crater because it sounds like a train (more like a jet sound). The crater is a crater which trains most attention because of the gas vapor kerluar have incredible pressure (2.5 bar).

Continuing the journey to climb, and then saw rocks that have been prepared such as wood for the campfire. Here, a place to shower sauna with outdoor conditions with a crater called rain crater. According to the workers who are manning the crater, sauna bath in this place can help cure diseases such as stroke, heart disease, influenza, skin, arthritis and high blood pressure.

In addition to an awesome crater, crater, around Kamojang also many rare animals that we can see if you're lucky. In this nature reserve, based on research results, there is still a leopard, pangolin, surili, langur, jungle fowl, monkeys and various bird species. So, bring binoculars if you want to see the animals closer.
Wait no more. Make a trip to Bandung is more complete with a visit Kamojang region. At the same time here also you can see the geothermal wells and Geothermal Power Plant Kamojang.
