Cipanas Hot Springs

Cipanas Hot Springs in the Garut Regency of West Java, Indonesia, is a natural geothermal bathing destination set in the cool volcanic highlands of the Priangan Mountains, where the flanks of the active Papandayan volcano produce abundantly sulfurous thermal waters at temperatures suitable for bathing. The springs have been developed into a popular resort area near the town of Cipanas that attracts visitors from Bandung and the greater Jakarta area seeking relief from the tropical heat and humidity of the lowlands in the cooler highland air and warm mineral pools. The surrounding Garut landscape is one of West Java's most scenically spectacular, with the Papandayan and Guntur volcanoes, mountain lakes, and the lush green rice terraces of the Priangan plateau forming an extraordinary backdrop to the thermal bathing experience. Cipanas Hot Springs in Garut offers a quintessentially Indonesian hot spring experience — volcanic, atmospheric, accessible, and embedded in one of Java's most beautiful highland environments.
