Mount Gede-Pangrango National Park, National park in West Java, Indonesia
Description
Mount Gede-Pangrango is a national park in West Java, Indonesia, spanning three districts and surrounding two neighboring volcanoes. The area ranges from lowland tropical rainforest to cloud forest and alpine vegetation near the summits.
History
The region was established as a nature reserve in the 19th century under Dutch colonial administration. After Indonesian independence, the area officially received national park status.
Culture
The name Gede means «large» in Sundanese, while Pangrango comes from a local legend about a special mountain. Hikers on the trails often meet locals who come to the source of the Ciliwung or visit sacred sites in the highlands.
Practical
Three entrances provide access to marked hiking trails, with Cibodas being the most commonly used starting point. The dry season between June and October offers more stable weather and clearer views of the summits.
Did you know?
Four craters on the Gede summit remain active and show visible fumaroles and hot springs. The park also shelters one of the last populations of the Javan Lutung, a monkey found only on Java.
