Lebak, Administrative regency in Banten, Indonesia.

Lebak is an administrative regency in Banten covering roughly 3,480 square kilometers of terrain ranging from mountains to coastal zones. Its territory divides into 28 districts with Rangkasbitung serving as the administrative center.

Eduard Douwes Dekker worked as Assistant Resident in 1856 and recorded local hardships under colonial rule. His later writings, especially the novel Max Havelaar, became a powerful critique of the colonial system.

The Multatuli Museum in Rangkasbitung displays exhibitions about anti-colonial movements and keeps documents from Indonesia's independence struggle. The place recalls how colonial rule was questioned by local and international voices.

The southern beaches of Sawarna and Ciantir connect to Jakarta through road networks, making them accessible by vehicle. Ciantir Beach draws professional surfers regularly due to its consistent waves.

Local communities farm terraced rice fields at roughly 476 meters elevation using cultivation methods developed over generations for mountainous land. This traditional agriculture shapes the landscape and reflects long-term adaptation strategies.
