<P> The usual arrangement is for visitors to leave their vehicles in a main carpark at the entry to the site and catch one of the regular mini shuttlebuses (leaving every five minutes or so) for the 5 km to the crater . For Indonesian citizens, the cost of entry to the site (October 2011) is Rp 15,000 plus Rp 5,000 for the return minibus ride (total of Rp 20,000, around $US 2.20). Charges for foreign visitors are slightly higher . Visitors who prefer to drive in their own vehicles up to the crater must pay a significantly higher charge (Rp 150,000, or $US 17 per vehicle plus tickets for passengers). Tickets are issued by Perhutani staff and include insurance while at the location . </P> <P> The main road is the busy road south from Bandung through the town of Soreang, the capital of the Bandung District, continuing down through the crowded Pasir Jambu township .

Local food - crops grown include a wide range of fruits and vegetables . A strawberry industry is well - established in the area and many strawberry farms have fruit for sale along the side of the highway . </P> <P> Accommodation is available at various hotels in the Mount Patuha area close to the nearby towns of Ciwidey and Soreang . </P> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul>
