Mount Papandayan, Curug Orok, Kampung Sampireun & Mulih Ka Desa

Mount Papandayan

Mount Papandayan is a complex stratovolcano, located in Garut Regency, to the southeast of the city of Bandung in West Java, Indonesia. It is about 15 km to the southwest of the town of Garut. At the summit, there are four large craters which contain active fumarole fields. An eruption in 1772 caused the northeast flank to collapse producing a catastrophic debris avalanche that destroyed 40 villages and killed nearly 3,000 people. The eruption truncated the volcano into a broad shape with two peaks and a flat area 1.1 km wide with Alun-Alun crater in the middle, making the mountain appear as a twin volcano; one of the peaks is called Papandayan and the other Mount Puntang

The Mount Papandayan area is a popular tourist site. Tourists can walk across the crater and view phenomena such as bubbling mud pools, steam vents, and sulfur deposits. Papandayan Crater (Kawah Papandayan), a bubbling yellow crater, is a popular sight. There are various other volcanic craters in the area to the south of Bandung as well. Another volcanic crater with easy access in the same region is Kawah Putih; it is in the nearby Bandung District to the west of Mt Papandayan.

Above the crater is an elfin forest and several meadows with Javanese Edelweiss.

Curug Orog

The waterfall is named Curug Orok because historically in 1968 there was a young woman threw away her baby from the top of waterfall. Another reason of naming it is because it has 2 waterfalls, the high one symbolizes the mother and the small one symbolizes the baby.

Kampung Sampireun

Presenting Sundanese culture at its finest, Kampung Sampireun in Ciparay Village offers luxurious bungalows 1,000 m above sea level. A 2-hour drive from Bandung, it boasts cool weather and mountain views.

Mulih Ka Desa

Same concept like Kampung Sampireun and the location also not far from Kampung Sampireun.
