The hot spring Cipanas Galunggung is 20km northwest and lies at the foot of Gunung Galunggung (2168m), a volcano that exploded dramatically in 1982, killing68 poeple. From the hot springs recreation park, a trial leads to a small waterfall and then on to Galunggung crater, 3km away. A steep road to the crater is an easier walk but less scenic. From Tasikmalaya's main bus terminal take an angkot to Banjar on the highway. From there, ojek will cover the final 14km along arough road for around 25.000 IDR
Situ Lengkong is about 40km north of Tasikmalaya and 500m from the village of Panjalu. It's a serene lake that was formed when the Hindu ruler of Panjalu dammed the valley. There is a forested island in the middle and boats can be hired to take you around the lake. Panjalu village has a small museum containing the heirlooms of the king of Panjalu. Situ Lengkong can be reached by bus from Tasikmalaya or from Kawali termina, where angkot run the 20km to Ciamis
On the highway to Banjar and Pangandaran 16km southeast of Ciamis, Karang Kamulyan is the excavated site of the ancient Galuh Kingdom. It's often said that Galuh was both the Hindu and the first Muslim Kingdom in Java, but this Neolithic settlement dating from around the 5th century points to the pre Hindu period. Only a few stone walls and foundations remain of the palace, store, prayer and bathing areas, but it is a beautiful walk through the jungle and bamboo groves down to the confluence of the swift Ciliwung and Citanduy rivers. Alarge car park and government built cottages next to the park are attempts to make it a major tourist stop
