Gunung Manglayang is a non-active stratovolcano in the Bandung Zone, the easternmost of the volcanoes left by the ancient Gunung Sunda, alongside Burangrang, Tangkuban Perahu, Palasari and Bukit Tunggul. It rises to about 1,818 metres between Bandung and Sumedang regencies, with a prominence of 338 metres according to French sources.

The name Manglayang comes from the Sundanese word layang, meaning "to fly", after the legend of Semprani, a flying horse that fell on the slope and turned to stone. That stone, Batu Kuda, gives its name to the Batu Kuda trail, which passes three posts: Batu Lawang, Batu Tumpeng and Batu Keraton.

The eastern peak trail takes about two hours from the starting point near UNPAD University, with parking available at the Baru Beureum trailhead. Bring sturdy footwear and plenty of water since the route crosses rocky and steep sections.
