It erupted in 1826, 1829, 1842, 1846, 1896, 1910, 1926, 1929, 1952, 1957, 1961, 1965, 1967, 1969, 1983, 2013 and 2019. It is a popular tourist attraction where tourists hike or ride to the edge of the [[Volcanic crater|crater]] to view the hot water springs and boiling mud up close, and buy eggs cooked on the hot surface.<ref>There are numerous tourist attractions in the mountains around Bandung, many of which are related to the interesting geology of the region. For locals to visit the cost is Rp. 30,000 but foreign visitors are charged ten times that amount. There are a number of volcanoes and volcanic craters close to Bandung, such as the [[Kawah Putih]] crater lake around 50 km to the south.</ref> Together with Mount Burangrang and Bukit Tunggul, it is a remnant of the ancient [[Mount Sunda]] after the plinian eruption caused the Caldera to collapse. In April 2005, the Directorate of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation raised an alert, forbidding visitors from going up the volcano. "Sensors on the slopes of the two mountains - Anak [[Krakatoa]] on the southern tip of [[Sumatra]] Island and Tangkuban Perahu in Java - picked up an increase in volcanic activity and a build-up of gases, said government volcanologist Syamsul Rizal."<ref>[http://www.thejakartapost.com/detaillatestnews.asp?fileid=20050413185123&irec=1 http://www.thejakartapost.com/detaillatestnews.asp?fileid=20050413185123&irec=1] ''thejakartapost.com''</ref> On the mountain's northern flank is Death Valley, which derives its name from a frequent accumulation of poisonous gases.<ref>[http://www.indonesia-tourism.com/west-java/tangkuban-perahu.html Mount Tangkuban Perahu Tourism, indonesia-tourism.com]</ref>
