Highly recommend to spend the night at Kandang Badak, instead of at the top of Pangrango. There are very limited places for camping. There is no water spring around the top of Pangrango. The closest spring water with lots of debits is at Kandang Badak. Normally it takes less than 2 hours from Kandang Badak to the top of Pangrango. I love the forest covered with mosses.

THE PARK IS FULL OF TRASH AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE! I detail my experience here: We went with my partner to summit Pangrango, for this we slept one night in cibodas, and the next day we went early in the morning, around 7 am to the entrance of the park, from a homestay in cibodas you can walk like 15 min till the entrances of the park. In the entrance we had to pay the foreign price to enter the Park, this was 1.100.000 rupis aprox for two people including 2 days and one night. Also this price included a medical check that they did in the moment (basically just check your pressure and temperature) Then we start walking at 7.30 am aprox through the park, passing the river, the waterfall and natural pools of hot water. At around 13.30-14.00 we arrived to the campsite Kandang Badak, there we put our tent, eat something and went to sleep early. From that campsite you are 2km away from mount Gede and 3km away from the summit of Pangrango. We woke up at 3.30 am so we can start hiking at 4 something, and try to see the sunrise at the summit of Pangrango. It's a very steep and hard hike, but in 3 hours we reached the peak and enjoy the view. Disclaimer: all the national park is full of trash!!! In every shelter along the way, in the trail, in the campsite and in the summit of Pangrango, just FULL OF TRASH EVERYWHERE. Its so sad, no one takes their trash back with them, people cook, drink water and they leave everything behind, that's why I'm giving 2 stars, because if I'm paying 100 AUS for an entrance to a park I expect that something it's being done with that money, like maintaining and taking care of the park and it's ecosystem. It's really sad to see.

Nice getaway from Jakarta, we spent one night on the mountain and then hiked to the summit for the sunrise. The waterfall was nice as well. The paths were well maintained and there was not a lot of trash, which is normally pretty common. Over all, pretty easy trekking, not too extreme.

Mount Pangrango from Samawa Tower East Jakarta when the sky is clean

Beautifull mountain located in Bogor south of Jakarta. Located side by side with mount Gede, this mountains looks beautiful from Jakarta and Bogor

good for beginners, the track isnt too steep. from the start point (cibodas) to kandang badak campsite takes approximately 6hours, from kandang badak there are 2 options, go to gede summit or pangrango summit

Excellent getaway from Jakarta. Not too challenging. Air panas is refreshing. Locals are friendly. Although a little higher than gunung Gede, the scenery is not so impressive, so if you must choose 1 summit, do Gede. I did both. ;-)

With 1 hr lunch break you'll need 7 hrs hike from Cibodas. The trek is nice, gently ascending. You'll come across hot waterfall and some nice camping spots with warungs serving everything warm. The summit area is densely vegetated but you still get a beautiful view of G Gede crater and summit.

Mashallah, Glory be to Him
