Gunung Tampomas, Stratovolcano in West Java, Indonesia

Mount Tampomas rises 1,684 meters above sea level, featuring young lava flows on its eastern flank and black rock formations near its summit point.

The mountain appears in the Bujangga Manik manuscript from the late 15th century under the name Tompo Omas, meaning Golden Winnow in Sundanese language.

Local residents refer to the peak as Sanghiyang Taraje, while the surrounding area is known as Agro Gusti Kencanawati, named after a female spirit.

Three main hiking trails lead to the summit: Narimbang path with its water springs, Cibeureum route, and Buahdua track through mountain rainforest.

The Pasarean sacred tomb, located 200 meters north of the peak, marks the meditation site of Prabu Siliwangi from the Sunda Kingdom period.
