Mount Ciremai National Park, National park in West Java, Indonesia

Mount Ciremai National Park is a protected area in West Java centered on Mount Ciremai, a solitary active stratovolcano reaching 3,078 meters, the highest peak in the province. The park covers 14,841.30 hectares across Kuningan Regency (8,792.21 ha), Majalengka Regency (6,031.26 ha) and a small part of Cirebon Regency (17.83 ha). Its terrain is mostly moderately steep to steep slopes, and the summit holds a broad crater left by past eruptions.

The forest was designated as protected land by Dutch colonial authorities in 1930 and later established as a national park. This early protective status formed the foundation for preserving the area as it exists today.

The mountain's name is used by the Javan leopard (Panthera pardus melas), the surili (Presbytis comata) and the Javan hawk-eagle (Nisaetus bartelsi), the three key species the park's managers focus on protecting. Hikers climbing the peak pass through forest that shelters these animals, and the park's status as Indonesia's 50th national park, declared in 2004, came at the request of the Kuningan and Majalengka governments.

The park features several hiking trails to the summit with varying difficulty levels, accessed through different nearby districts. Visitors should prepare for changing elevation and weather conditions that shift quickly at higher altitudes.

The area is home to around 40 orchid species and serves as a crucial water source for three surrounding regions. This role as a natural water supplier often goes unnoticed compared to the park's hiking activities.
