I strongly recommend that it is better to use a guide service that is very trusted and recommended, because safety is number one!, becuse of why? At the beginning of the climb of Mount Papandayan, the terrain encountered was a variety of sizes of slippery and sharp stones. Papandayan Mountain is a mountain that is still actively producing sulfur gas in the crater. When crossing the beginning of the climbing field which is Camp David towards the Crater Peak, there is sulfur gas that can be inhaled. There, the mist often drops and blocks the eye. Avoid walking in the middle of the fog while in the Dead Forest because it will be prone to straying due to fog blocking and homogeneous terrain. Regarding prices you can check on the internet.

Of course it's very permissible, and of course it will be very memorable, I hope you have done it, happy adventure for you!

I suggest not to start from Jakarta, because it will take a very long time using the road from Jakarta to this place takes 7-8 hours. You start from Bandung is better choice, only 2 hours, the choice is to landing by plane in Bandung International airport then continue the road trip by car, you can go on the internet to choose the transportation service that suits your choice, or the easiest way is to search the tripadvisor application,check their review, and I suggest searching for what was recommended by Tripadvisor because it was the best, especially those who received excellent certificates from Tripadvisor. There are some interesting options to explore this place, if you want to enjoy natural beauty including craters, dead forests, sunsets and sunrises, I suggest you at least 2d1n you camp here, if you want to find a credible and trusted tour company and professionals to organize all Your plan in this place, you can also look for it on this tripadvisor application, happy adventure!

Вы не уточнили, из какого города... Я путешествовала на местном транспорте. От ближайшего довольно крупного города Гарут часа полтора на бусе до деревни Чисурупан. Там уже стоят наготове байкеры, один из которых меня отвез к началу маршрута (15-20 минут) и в условленное время забрал и отвез обратно в Чисурупан.

For your 1st question : It will be easier if you use a rental car from Bandung because it will be more flexible, without having to go up and down changing public transportation or using a taxi which is quite expensive. For your 2nd question : I strongly recommend that it is better to use a guide service that is very trusted and recommended, because safety is number one!, becuse of why?, At the beginning of the climb of Mount Papandayan, the terrain encountered was a variety of sizes of slippery and sharp stones. Papandayan Mountain is a mountain that is still actively producing sulfur gas in the crater. When crossing the beginning of the climbing field which is Camp David towards the Crater Peak, there is sulfur gas that can be inhaled. There, the mist often drops and blocks the eye. Avoid walking in the middle of the fog while in the Dead Forest because it will be prone to straying due to fog blocking and homogeneous terrain.you don't know what will happen, my advice would be better if there is a guide, a local person who is highly recommended to accompany you, remember safety is the top priority!, and about your question how find guide ?? , here my answer : I suggest you can search using Google related transportation and tourims services (transportation,car,profesional guide for mountain hike) to get here, or the easy way is you can search on tripadvisor, search for recommendations by trip advisor, see their reviews, and especially those who get a service of excellent certificate from tripadvisor. For your 3rd question : to explore the entire mountain including the crater, dead forest, flora and fauna, sunset and sunrise yes 2d1n is very sufficient, or even with a 1 day tour but not all places you explore, in tour one day starting in the morning around 9 or 10am and end by enjoying the sunset at the top of the mountain. Hopefully my answer can help you and other tourists

@Fransisca waktu saya kesana, bersama anak dan istri. anak saya wanita berusia 8 tahun saat itu, dan anak istri saya memiliki riwayat asma. Selama kondisi fisik sehat, dan tidak memaksakan diri, saya pikir naik gunung/hiking adalah olahraga yang menyenangkan. yang terpenting kondisi fisik dalam keadaan sehat, sempat berlatih sebelumnya (tidak perlu latihan yang berat, karena papandayan lumayan enak untuk hiking), dan membawa obat2an yang dirasa perlu untuk jaga2. Hiking is totally fun! cheers :D

waktu yg baik untuk sekarang harus pagi pagi, sebab cuacanya siang menuju sore itu suka hujan jd klu pagi OTW k k puncaknya cuaca masih bagus dan akan dpt view yg bagus juga

Sorry if my answer is late, but I hope my answer can help other tourists in the future, who want to adventure in Mount Papandayan, I am sure you have already visited it :) You can check on Google about the map, to be more clear about your plan to go there, you can open the previous question in this application in the previous question and answer session owned by Chan.J. happy adventure!

My advice is to better use Java Private Tour services, you can check on Google regarding Java Private Tour, they are quite well known throughout Java and their services related to mountain climbing adventures throughout the island of Java have been recommended by several embassies, they can arrange all logistics, accommodation and transportation needs, and also provides a variety of climbing equipment and provide profesional mountain guide

Sebelumnya di pos pertama/ pintu masuk, registrasi dulu dan bayar uang masuk/ camp. Setelah itu mendaki dari jalur baru yang sudah disiapkan. Ikuti saja rutenya, sampe di kawah ambil arah sebelah kanan. Patokan warung/ tenda2.. naik saja terus, ikuti jalan setapak (pengelola sedang buat/ dirapihkan jalannya) sampai di pondok saladah. Camp hanya boleh sampai Pondok saladah. Dari pondok saladah ikutin rute ke tegal alun. Kalau cuaca baik bisa terus jalan ikuti jalan setapak di tegal alun. Jika berkabut lebih baik jangan sampai puncak atau sewa guide yg ada di pondok saladah. semoga membantu.
