Garut, Mountainous regency in West Java, Indonesia.

Located in the heart of West Java, Garut Regency covers 3,065 square kilometers of land stretching from volcanic peaks to the Indian Ocean coastline.

The region evolved from Limbangan Regency, established by Lieutenant-Governor Stamford Raffles in 1813, with Suci as its first capital before moving to Garut.

The districts of Garut maintain traditional crafts production, particularly in textile manufacturing, with local artisans creating intricate batik patterns and woven fabrics.

South Tarogong functions as the administrative center of Garut Regency, connecting 42 districts through a network of roads that reach remote villages.

The territory includes multiple active volcanoes, such as Mount Guntur and Mount Papandayan, which contribute to the fertility of agricultural lands.
