Gunung Rakutak

Getting there: For domestic flights from or to West Java, such as the airport in Bandung, we recommend Baolau. It is just over 30km from Bandung to the starting point at Kampung Sukarame and the journey can be made by taking a Majalaya-bound bus from Bandung and alighting at Ciparay for an angkot. Take a right turn for Pacet at the often-busy Ciparay market. Once beyond Pacet look for a small road on the left with an orange entrance gate. The village of Sukarame is just two minutes along this road which goes over a river. The journey from Bandung to Sukarame takes 2 hours or significantly less if you go by motorbike at times when there isn’t too much congestion on the roads.

Permits: Since 2016, Rakutak is part of Cagar Alam Kamojang (Kawah Kamojang Nature Reserve) so access to the summit ridge may be more complicated and must be sought from the relevant authorities in advance. It very well may not be granted.
Water sources: Only available during the rainy season at the stream near the start of the easternmost trail from Sukarame. The small lake of Situ Ciharus is an obvious water source but lies a considerable way from the highest ridges of the mountain and is now closed to the public.
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.
