Bandung tourism seems like never run out of attractions. When you get bored of the hectic life of a city, please try to visit outer Bandung tourism area such as Sanghyang Tikoro.
Actually Sanghyang Tikoro is an underground cavern formed of limestone beneath which there is a torrential stream Citarum. The length of the underground cave was reputedly up to 162 m with a depth of about 1.5 in the dry season.

According to the results of research geologist, Sanghyang Tikoro, Tangkubanparahu Mountain, and Mount Burangrang were formed by the eruption of Mount Sunda. Resulted in fierce eruption destroyed the entire surface of the body leaving no trace. After the eruption, many hot lava came out, which caused rivers in the area of Batujajar, Cililin, and Padalarang buried and turned into a cold lava, that gradually build up and form a lake which was then popularly known as the Talaga Bandung. These lake of Talaga Bandung little by little eventually eroded to form a hole that became known Sanghyang Tikoro.
To reach this place you can go to Padalarang, 30 minutes from Bandung, then to Citatah and Highways Rajamandala to reach a gate marked "Waduk Saguling" (Reservoir Saguling). From here continue to go until you find a guarded checkpoint that you should pass, because it seems that this place is rather closed. Presumably you need a reliable vehicle to get through this winding road. Then you'll find an old nameplate reads "Sanghyang Tikoro".
