Gunung Karang

Getting there: For domestic flights from or to Banten, such as Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, we recommend Baolau. By car from Jakarta: Take the toll road to Merak. Exit at the Pandeglang turn-off and head into the town centre. Take a right up Jalan Gunung Karang and follow it to either Kaduengang (for the summit trail) or Pasir Angin (for the crater trail). There are buses from Jakarta to Serang, and angkots onward to Pandeglang. As of 2016 you can also now take the frequent Jakarta commuter line trains to Rangkasbitung (just Rp8,000, two hours) and then an ojek from there to Pandeglang.

Trip planning assistance: Would you like Gunung Bagging to personally help you in arranging your whole trip? Please contact us here.
Permits: None required but take a photocopy of your passport photo page just incase. You are advised to take a local guide with you, expecially for the Pasir Angin trail to the crater.
Water sources: Drinks available at Pos 1, 2 and 3 on the summit trail. Spring water available at the summit itself but stagnant so best take sufficient supplies. On the Pasir Angin trail to the crater there are a couple of streams but much better to take enough drinking water with you.
Accommodation: Try the Booking.com map above or use this link to search for suitable hotels, homestays, resorts and apartments for your trip.
We recommend Safety Wing as travel insurance for overseas travellers and tourists hiking up to elevations not exceeding 4500 metres.
