I was raised in Bandung from the very young age, spent more than 20 years there before moving to other cities for career reason. This place is always special for me, the nature is interesting, the people are so nice and friendly. Since my parents are staying there, me and my family regularly visit them – the distance from Jakarta is not also too far, driving a car will only take 2-3 hours.

On our last trip, we found a very interesting place located not in Bandung actually but more to Lembang, maybe about one hour trip from Pasteur. The place is called De Ranch, the place where you can find so many interesting things for you and for the kid. You can learn professional horse riding (but will cost you some amount of money) while your child can explore the areas to meet some animals such as cow, goat, fish, and of course some horse. For the kid who love to play some modern attraction, they can also use the trampoline, cycling, fishing, and some more other attraction that I do not really know what it is called. Of course they also serve some food – modern and traditional – to make sure you will not lose any weight after some physical activities there.

The tariff is also cheap, you just need to pay IDR 5,000 per person to get there and some additional variable cost for each attraction ranged from IDR 20,000-30,000.
