Gunung Cikuray

Gunung Cikuray rises to an elevation of 2,821 meters, forming one of the five ultra-prominent peaks in the Parahyangan highlands of West Java.

The volcano recorded its most recent eruption in 1888, marking a significant geological event in the region's volcanic history during the late 19th century.

Local communities residing on the mountain slopes maintain traditional practices, while ancient manuscripts refer to Cikuray as Gunung Larang Srimanganti meditation center.

The northeast route from Cilawu trailhead presents a challenging 1,300-meter ascent through terrain consisting of dry mud paths and exposed tree roots.

The mountain divides two major watershed systems, with eastern slopes feeding into the Ciwulan river toward the Indian Ocean and western slopes into Cimanuk river.
