Karaha Crater

The Karaha Crater extends across 250 meters by 80 meters, containing active fumaroles and substantial sulfur deposits at 1,155 meters elevation.

The crater represents an eroded formation from its final eruption, though researchers continue investigating to determine the exact date of this event.

Local geological experts regularly monitor the crater's geothermal features, contributing to Indonesia's understanding of volcanic systems and natural resources.

Visitors can reach the crater by traveling approximately 168 kilometers southeast from Jakarta, with several nearby volcanic sites offering additional exploration options.

The field displays a collection of mud pots and geothermal features that demonstrate the active tectonic processes along the Sunda Arc.
