Kolam Bawah - Cipanas Galunggung

Galunggung Hot Spring is divided into several pool areas, from the top to bottom baths and pools as well as the main pool near the entrance. Now this time I discuss the smallest pool below, now the pool is cleaner. Since revitalization is being carried out (I visited in September 2020 in the morning), the facilities and infrastructure have not been functioning optimally. This pool is cheaper than the upper pool, which is IDR 10,000, - with sufficient facilities, there are toilets (paid) and prayer rooms as well as a rest area and (paid) luggage storage. The atmosphere in the morning is very comfortable with cool air and shady trees, the pool water is also clean and not too crowded. Get the relax sensation! Late in the afternoon or evening it will be uncomfortable because of the increasing number of visitors, so that the pool is full of people soaking. Good access to this place, good roads, sufficient lighting. The condition of the toilet is quite alarming because the cleanliness is not maintained. Unfortunately, the financing or retribution is not one door, at the entrance gate you will be charged an area entrance ticket with details of IDR 8,500 / person, motor vehicle fee IDR 1,000 / unit, car 4,000 / unit. The total entrance fee if using a motorbike is IDR 9,500 per person. After arriving at the pool below, you will be charged another IDR 10,000, - / person soaking fee, IDR 3,000 toilet, IDR 3,000 / person and IDR 3,000 luggage storage. Pretty confusing, right? Trying to enforce one all-in-one ticket will be more practical. Even more surprising, the price of goods / clothing, souvenirs or merchandise here is much more expensive than the market, but it doesn't matter if you are interested in buying them because of Galunggung's typical souvenirs. We recommend that you bring enough supplies. The price of food or drinks here also makes me shake my head because it is more expensive than usual standards (it's common in tourist attractions, hehe). In this area there are no lodging / hotel services, so those of you who visit from outside the city must pay attention to the operational schedule. During operations during a pandemic, health protocols are still in effect, before entering the pool area, body temperature tests will be carried out at a special post. The parking area is adequate, but still subject to a fee (no free). During the pandemic period the Cipanas Galunggung area operated until a maximum of 4 pm.
