Tasikmalaya, Administrative center in West Java, Indonesia

Tasikmalaya encompasses mountainous terrain at 351 meters elevation, with Mount Galunggung reaching 2,168 meters as the highest point in the region.

The region traces its origins to the Kingdom of Galunggung, established on August 21, 1111, under the leadership of Queen Batari Hyang.

The city maintains over 800 traditional Islamic boarding schools called pesantren, making it a significant center for religious education in West Java.

Wiriadinata Airport serves both military and civilian flights since 2017, accommodating ATR 72-600 aircraft for regional transportation connections.

Archaeological findings from 2020 near Parit Galunggung river revealed ancient deity idols, including Ganesha statues, indicating deep historical roots.
