| Mount Papandayan |
"In January 1706, two Dutch soldiers named Creatiaun and VanHouten was given the job of the local prefecture to visit, investigateand search for pure sulfur in Mount Papandayan and Mount Patuha.At that time Mount Papandayan still in full height" (Kusumadinata, 1970 ) "
Long before the Dutch people find this mountain, local communities have often crossed Mount Papandayan to bring tobacco, salt,vegetables and other earth results. This path is the nearest roadthat connects the highlands to the valley Canning Bandung Garut.

Papandayan name, derived from the language of Sunda "Panday" which means blacksmith. In the past, when people across this mountain, often heard voices that similar circumstances blacksmith at work, the sound was coming from a very active crater. So the mountain was later named Papandayan by the community around this mountain.
Mount Papandayan located about 25 km southwest Garut regency, with the geographical position of 7o19 'South latitude and 107 o 44' East Longitude with an altitude of 2665 meters above sea level or about 1950 M above the plain of Garut. South of this mountain there is a G. Thunder and adjacent to its east there is a G. Cikuray.
Mount Papandayan is the most southern cone of a row of volcanoes in the south that have been classified Priangan (since the Dutch colonial era) as a fairly dangerous active volcano in West Java. Eruptions that have occurred since ancient times to make it like a piece of the mountain form a horseshoe. Tegal oldest crater located in the town square that has been long dead and turned into an open field. This old crater walls form a complex mountain with peaks of Mount Malang (2675 m asl), Mount Masigit (2619 m asl), Mount Saroni (2611 masl) and Mount Papandayan (2665 m asl) surrounding Tegal Alun-alun. In this desert springs that emerge transformed into Ciparugpug River.
Around the horseshoe area, we can also see small mountains that surround Mount Papandayan, among other Puntang Mount (2555 m asl), Mount Walirang (2238 m asl), Mount Tegal Nails (2225 masl) and G. Jaya (2422 masl). While the valley between the Mount and the Mount Walirang Puntang there Cibeureum river that flows into the River Cimanuk.
Eruption history In recorded history, major eruptions have occurred at Mount Papandayan at 11 to 12 August 1772. This large eruption caused the destruction in some of the body of this mountain, forming a horseshoe crater open towards the northeast.

"With a booming sound that great, after the middle of the nightsuddenly seemed to rise up the rays of light, which illuminates the darkness, breaking down the top of the mountain, and threw largerocks spread around". Such records F.W. Junghuhn, a Germanmountain explorers on Mount Papandayan eruption on August 11, 1772.
This is the eruption of Mount Papandayan terdahsyat in recorded history. Besides destroying part of his body, this eruption alsodestroyed 40 villages high didataran arrowroot, claimed the lives of approximately 2957 people and killed more than 1500 head of cattle, buffaloes, goats and other domestic animals.

In 1819, founder of the Bogor botanical gardens, CGC Reindwardt the German became the first foreigner to climb this mountain. In this period, Mount Papandayan become a haven for volcano experts and the plants until now.
In the opinion of R.D.M. Verbeek and R. Fennema, eruption of Mount Papandayan in 1772 took place as was the case in Mount Semeru in East Java in 1885, but more powerful. At the time of the eruption is seen vomit flame for 5 minutes that originate from Papandayan crater (crater Mas), followed by lawina boulders that destroyed the lower regions. Events falling rocks lawina is exactly what is the subject of the eruption of Mount Papandayan events in 1772.
After that, the mountain experienced a period of calm back until March 11, 1923 at Papandayan crater (crater mas) begins to flare up again until March 9, 1925. Over the past two years, a small explosion did not harm often occurs in this mountain.
The eruption that occurred on March 11, 1923 is recorded from the crater contained in Tegal Alun-alun, namely the eruption of mud and rocks at the head of those who came out to about 150 M.
According to the subdistrict and the population Cisurupan, the eruption on March 11, 1923 occurred at night preceded by a mild earthquake. Of events this eruption, the eruption of new field has been discovered and named the new crater. In a field as wide as 100 AD eruption, the eruption was found seven holes and a small lake has formed.
Along with the formation of new craters above, in June 1923, at the foot of G. Nangklak (a steep south crater wall Mas) has also formed a new crater crater named Nangklak eruption with 3 holes in it.
During the year 1924 until 1925, small eruptions occur alternately in each of the different craters even this mountain until finally entering a period long enough to break a large eruption occurred again on 11 November 2002.
On Monday, 11 November 2002 at 15:30, Mount Papandayan resumed its activities after nearly 60 years of his rest.
The eruption in 2002 was preceded by a small phreatic eruption on 1 to 3 October 2002, which occurred in the crater Mas which led to increased activity of this mountain. The temperature in the crater Mas is increasing and could burn the deposition of sulfur contained therein.
On November 10, 2002, Volcano Observation Post Papandayan noted a significant increase in the number of B-type volcanic earthquake 60 times. This earthquake marks the fracture system and the soil in the crater Mas becomes saturated with water vapor and pressure, and activate the steam system at Mas crater next to the phreatic eruption.
On 11 November 2002, the first phreatic eruption occurred in New crater at 16:03 pm, which is a concentrated blast of dust into the air which reaches a height of 5 km from the summit. New eruption at the crater caused a massive landslide Nangklak hill about some of the walls, landslide material fell into the river upstream Cibeureum Gede and resulting flash floods along the River mud Cibeureum Gede in Kec. Bayongbong. Recorded five homes were severely damaged and the road between Garut with Cikajang disconnected.
The eruption in 2002 also has changed the face of Mount Papandayan horseshoe valley, have been stockpiling the material which is poured out and buried the valley floor Ciparugpug River flow. While Mount Nangklak suffered devastating mudslides along with the formation of several new craters.
Some of the above situation in the history of volcanic eruptions that brought Mount Papandayan become an important location for the audience from time immemorial to the present.
Mount Papandayan Today is one of the active volcano in West Java that has been developed into a tourist attraction and destination panorama for researchers volcanoes in the world.
Enchanting attractions located in this mountain formed naturally from vulkanisma process that has lasted in the past. Activity occurring for hundreds of years, has produced and leave the natural forms typical of volcanic cones, craters, rocky outcrops and the formation of new structures in the form of waterfall (waterfall), lakes, hot springs, blast hole steam heat from the ground, boiling pools and yellow sulfur deposits that blend with the landscape that was full of rocks scattered and open plains are covered with grasses and edelweiss plants are beautiful or old forests clad in a stunning moss.
Uniqueness-uniqueness is what distinguishes the beauty of the volcano Mount Papandayan-other volcanoes in Indonesia.
Biodiversity Mount Papandayan has been a nature reserve since 1924. When the Dutch colonial government set Papandayan forests and crater area of 884 hectares into a nature reserve. Currently a total area of nature reserves has increased to 6807 ha plus a natural park covering an area of 225 Ha. The addition of vast nature reserve and natural park was established by Decree of the Minister of Forestry. 226/kpts/1990 dated 8-5-1990. Its territory includes the Mount Papandayan, Puntang Mount, Mount Jaya, Mount Kendang, Tegal length and crater Darajat. With its status as a nature reserve means Mount Papandayan biodiversity and protected therein by the Republic of Indonesia.
Mount Papandayan has a quiet natural forest, natural forests can be encountered at an altitude of 1900 - 2675 masl. Experts classify forest vegetation at this height as the upper montane forests and sub-alpine. Plant research in 2004 in the area between the cottage Saladah to reveal long Tegal forest conditions as follows.
In the area of the crater, we can find a bush plants that are resistant to toxic gases such as suwagi, grass crater craters and spikes.Getting away from the crater, plant shrubs become more diverse again. Suwagi addition, the tree seals, ramo gencel, riots koneng, shrubs harendong, edelweiss, grass crater, andam nails, vines and bungburn gandapura can be encountered in this area.
Getting to the edge of the road, we'll see a tree that branches ki haruman mendomonasi scenery filled bumps. North area behind the former guesthouse Hoogbert hut, forest conditions began to change because of the influence of the crater began to decrease.Here forest filled with trees in diameter while the meeting with the forest floor but rarely overgrown shrubs, we can find a tree kendung, anggrit, riots and civil sintok stone. In addition, ferns bagedor also can be encountered with grass and shrubs teklan CAREX.
Starting from Cisupabeureum (2126 masl), at the foot of Mount Puntang to Tegal length, large diameter trees covered with moss in the forest floor meeting bubukuan overgrown by vegetation can be encountered here. Anggrit trees and rain ki very dominate in this forest, besides the dog and bay laurel beurit. Two types of herbaceous ground cover that is Elatostema eurhynchum and Elatostema rostratum easily seen here with forest strawberry vines.
In Tegal length, we can find 25 types of herbaceous plants that live together reeds. Some of them are prominent veins ki, antanan and Scleria terestis. Alchemilla endemic plants and rare plants Primula villosa imperalis can be found also in this field.
In addition to the above plants, we also can see and observe some of the wildlife that live in the woods this Papandayan, such as Javan monkey, langur, wild boar, check and leopard. In rural areas near the plantation forests we will encounter the animals easily Tando, skunks and careh.
According to the Dutch colonial documents, long ago can still be found bison, deer and coney seen grazing in Tegal length.Predators of Javanese tigers are still frequent. But now everything is only a memory only, these animals have become extinct.
Dutch researcher named Hoogerwerf birds in 1948 there were 115 reported bird species that live in Mount Papandayan. Research in 2004 on the west side of Mount Papandayan, from Pondok Saladah to Tegal length and border areas of forest with a garden in Canning has found 73 species of birds. Eight of them endemic species of Java island and 15 other species protected by legislation. There are two types of birds are threatened with extinction, the Javan hawk-eagle and mountain fastness as well as two other bird species and endangered species that is approaching the mountain and the CICA sun wallet.
Around the walls of the crater, birds of prey found kestrel Dadali and dragonflies. While forest area dominated by plants suwagi around the crater, easy to find the bird glasses, balecot, tengtelok and tikukur.
In the forest after the crater until tegals length, we can find junk mountain, bird broom, mungguk camouflage, wergan and sunglasses along with the game and cincoang blue quail that inhabit the bush. Bird saeran, saeran gray and purple head Walik also frequently seen in this forest. While the mountain fastness and fastness tigers need accuracy to meet him.
While forests in the border area with vegetable garden or tea gardens can be found birds of prey are threatened with extinction namely Javan hawk-eagle with two other predators are eagles and hawks ruyuk black. Bird saeran, wergan koneng, small and kepudang sungu pijantung Java is also easily found in this area.While birds and CICA kandancra sun requires patience to be able to see it. In the tea garden is itself a playground and a habitat for two bird species and tektek reod Toed.
Based on her eating habits, the birds in the Mount Papandayan majority (64%) are insectivorous (insectivor). This condition indicates that a large bird role in maintaining the balance of insect populations found in the woods Papandayan.
Atmosphere Nature and Volcano Tours Mount Papandayan besides known to many people because of natural scenery, the beauty of the crater and sunrisenya a compelling, well known to many people because the mountain conditions that can be used as a source of knowledge for students of the volcano. Including for students, university students and researchers who require data relating to the branch of natural sciences such as forest science, geology, volcanology, geophysics, and others.

Including for students, university students and researchers who require data relating to the branch of natural sciences such as forest science, geology, volcanology, geophysics, and others.
Almost every month, especially in April until November, local and foreign tourists and students who visited the mountain many of these with different purposes.
This mountain itself has been equipped with several facilities that allow tourists and researchers to visit here. The parking lot area of a football field. Bathroom, mosque, food stalls and a collection of well-trained guides and knowledge of the English language skills sufficient to pamper and help us to better understand the content of mountain and forest wealth is in the Mountain Papandayan.
Several tour packages are also sold by the guides here to help us unravel the mysteries of this mountain will take us to the most beautiful locations in exotic Papandayan Mountain and surrounding areas.
Some sites are usually visited by hikers, tourists and researchers are as follows.
Cottage SaladahSaladah cottage is a grassland area of 8 ha area located at an altitude of 2288 masl. A lot of overgrown plants edelweiss lasting and not easily wither and has a distinctive aroma. This area where the water flows Cisaladah River flows throughout the year, this place is usually used as a place to camp activities. Throughout perjalanaan from the parking lot (the starting point of climbing) to where we will be treated to a very beautiful natural scenery, which is the opening scene in the form of a horseshoe-shaped caldera stretch of a very broad, reaching 3 km which is decorated by scattered rocks are colorful. Right hand during the trip we will see a silver-colored stone walls of a cliff named Soni, where the city arrowroot can be seen from the top of this cliff, while next to her left we can see traces of the former flow of volcanic eruption in 2002, the trees are burned and the hole -holes that emit steam heat from the ground. Suwagi plants also adorn the scenery during the journey to this place.
Crater MasFor both local and foreign tourists, researchers and the climbers, Mas crater is a location that has always been a primary goal of all trips to this mountain. When compared with the locations of other objects of interest that exist around this mountain, Mas crater is a location that has been constructed in such a way and seems more developed and developing countries. This is because the crater Mas is the central and most important sites of historical eruption series Papandayan Mountain. Here we can observe the volcanic activity Papandayan is running on time, in the crater of the eruption there are 14 holes that emit smoke with different colors, some sulfur-containing springs also looks out from between the rock and of course we can observe the activity Mas crater from close range.
Mas is a complex volcanic crater berapai active area of 10 ha. In this complex there are holes magma both large and small, the holes are smoke and water vapor to cause a variety of unique sound.
In addition to the above the crater, several other craters such as Crater Manuk, New craters and craters Nangklak can also visit us to deepen our observations of volcanic activity Papandayan.
Tegal Alun-AlunTegal Square is the location of Mountain Papandayan oldest crater that has been long dead and turned into an open field of all its location is almost filled by the edelweiss plant, so long as we are in this location we will always smell the scent of edelweiss flowers are typical. This location resembles a complex valley surrounded by mountains with towering peaks. This location also appeared for the springs beside the River Ciparugpug fumarola, solfatara and hot springs that come out through cracks or gaps that exist surrounding rocks. For researchers, Tegal Alun-alun is always used as a place to observe wild animals and plants endemic.
In addition to the above, Tegal Square and several other locations such as wind and Cliff Lawang Soni, is also a location that can be used as a place to capture the important moments such as pangambilan moment of sunrise (Sunrise), which is amazing.
Death Valley (Valley Ruslan)Death Valley (valley Ruslan) is one of the locations that are considered dangerous for the visitors in the mountain. This valley is found carcasses of animals that die from poisonous gases trapped. On December 18, 1924, reported a paramedic named Ruslan fall into this valley and lost consciousness, moments later paramedics declared Ruslan CL2 died from inhaling gas. After the incident the death of Ruslan orderlies, the valley was declared dangerous. And therefore this valley then known and named as Death Valley or the Valley of Ruslan.
