Mount Pangrango, Dormant stratovolcano in West Java, Indonesia.

Mount Pangrango is a dormant stratovolcano in West Java, Indonesia, reaching 3,026 meters (9,928 feet). Its broad, rounded summit, Mandalawangi, is a flat, barren plain of about 4.39 hectares where edelweiss grows. Dense forest covers the slopes, and a saddle at 2,400 meters called Kandang Badak connects it to Mount Gede.

The name comes from ancient Sundanese language and means 'that which huffs and puffs', referring to eruptions in the distant past. The last known period of major activity occurred several centuries ago, and the volcano has since remained dormant.

Local communities in West Java regard Mount Pangrango as a natural landmark where three regencies - Bogor, Cianjur, and Sukabumi - converge at its peak.

Several hiking routes lead to the Mandalawangi summit, with the most accessible trailhead located near the Cibodas Botanical Gardens. The route passes through multiple climate zones and requires good physical condition for the upper sections, as well as warm clothing for the cooler temperatures at higher altitudes.

The summit of Mandalawangi is a tripoint where the borders of Bogor, Cianjur and Sukabumi Regencies meet, and it is also the point where four river basins converge: the Cisadane, Ciliwung and Citarum flow north toward Java's coast, while the Cimandiri flows south. The flat, barren 4.39-hectare alun-alun there is the natural habitat of edelweiss.
