Mount Parang, Mountain summit in Purwakarta, Indonesia

Mount Parang rises 963 meters above sea level in West Java, featuring three distinct peaks that stretch across 1.5 kilometers from north to south.

The mountain established its position in Indonesian climbing history during 1980, when it became the first location to introduce technical rock climbing in the country.

Local villagers of the Badega Gunung Parang community maintain and protect the mountain, preserving its natural state for future generations of climbers.

The climbing season extends from June through October, when minimal rainfall provides optimal conditions for ascending the 600-meter andesite cliffs.

Three prominent towers dominate the mountain landscape, each offering specialized climbing routes developed by Indonesian military forces and international teams.
