Pandeglang

Pandeglang is an administrative regency in western Java featuring both coastal plains and forested hills. The territory encompasses multiple districts with a main town serving as the administrative center.

The regency was established in 1874 as one of the earliest administrative divisions and has remained part of local governance since then. Its creation during the colonial period shaped the structure that exists today.

The local population maintains traditional crafts and customs that remain visible in daily life and community gatherings. These practices shape how people celebrate important occasions and mark the rhythm of the year.

The region is connected to neighboring areas by roads and is best explored by car or public transport. The main town serves as the best starting point for visiting different parts of the territory.

A substantial portion of the territory contains a national park with protected forests and rare animal species. This conservation area plays a crucial role in preserving endangered habitats in the region.
