Lembang, Mountain district in West Bandung, Indonesia.
Lembang is a mountain district in West Bandung that spans elevations from roughly 1,300 to 2,000 meters, with diverse landscape features throughout. The region is characterized by extensive tea plantations, strawberry farms, and several waterfalls spread across the hilly terrain.
The region formed through the Lembang Fault, a geological fracture extending north of the Bandung basin that has shown tectonic activity over several centuries. This fault has shaped the geographic structure of the landscape over the long term.
The name comes from the Sundanese language and means "dent", showing how local people connect their traditions to the land around them. The term reflects how residents understand their geography through language and daily life.
The region remains relatively cool throughout the year, which is ideal for hiking and exploring the outdoors. The cooler climate also means visitors should bring warm clothing, especially during early mornings and evenings.
The area is an important center for agricultural research and development, with several government institutes specializing in highland farming techniques. These facilities play a role in supporting local farms and improving cultivation methods across the region.
