Halimun

Mount Halimun rises 1,929 meters above sea level, forming the center of a protected area with dense forests and steep volcanic slopes.

The mountain and surrounding national park, established in 1992, connect Mount Salak through an 11-kilometer forest corridor preserving natural habitats.

The Kesepuhan traditional community of 5,300 people maintains their ancestral practices in Ciptagelar village within the southern part of the national park.

Access to Mount Halimun requires a two-hour drive from Sukabumi to reach the administration post, followed by another two-hour journey to Cikaniki gate.

The mountain's name originates from Sundanese language, referring to the persistent fog that envelops its forest-covered peaks throughout the year.
