There are many different reasons to visit Kabupaten Pandeglang: Ujung Kulon National Park, a summit route on Mount Pulosari, hot springs and a beach destination. Local cuisine and batik are also on offer. You can choose a focus for your trip based on these specific places and activities.

Ujung Kulon: National Park and Getting There

Ujung Kulon National Park is located in the kecamatan of Sumur and Cimanggu, in Kabupaten Pandeglang, Banten Province. You can reach it by charter boat from Pantai Carita or by land: the land route goes by car via Labuan to Tamanjaya or Sumur. Before your trip, check sea or road conditions, depending on how you plan to travel. The national park offices in Area II Handeleum and Tamanjaya offer admission tickets, insurance and general information about the park.

Mount Pulosari and Hot Springs

Mount Pulosari is a 1,346-meter-high stratovolcano in Kampung Mandalawangi, Desa Cilentung, Kecamatan Pulosari, Kabupaten Pandeglang. The Cihunjuran route to the summit starts at Basecamp Cafe Sisi Sungai in Kampung Cihunjuran, Kecamatan Mandalawangi, Kabupaten Pandeglang. As route conditions may change, check them before setting out.

Mount Pulosari has a crater with visible fumarolic activity: hot steam escapes through cracks in the rocks. After the climb, visitors bathe in natural hot springs around the mountain. Specific bathing facilities may change. Another natural hot spring with bathing facilities is located in Cisolong, Kecamatan Banjar; electricity and telephone services are available there.

Coast, Tradition and Batik

Pantai Carita in Kecamatan Labuan is a beach destination. Tourist facilities include hotels, villas, restaurants and recreational facilities. The Ruwat Laut tradition at Pantai Carita is also an attraction for visitors. The public information office of Kabupaten Pandeglang documented this tradition in 2025.

Membatik Cikadu, in Desa Wisata Ekraf Tanjung Lesung, offers a creative activity. Visitors can create batik motifs such as the Javan rhinoceros and Tanjung blossoms. Alongside nature and coastal attractions, this provides a specific local batik-making experience to choose from.

Angeun lada: a dish from Pandeglang

Angeun lada is a traditional dish from Pandeglang. The soup contains chopped beef offal, shallots, palm sugar, red chilies and other spices. Although it is described as a spicy soup, it is not spicy in taste. The dish is served in many restaurants in Kabupaten Pandeglang, offering a specific culinary focus for your trip planning.

When looking for hotels in Pandeglang, you can first consider whether you want to focus on the coast, the national park, the summit route, bathing facilities, or local culture and cuisine. Pantai Carita combines a beach setting with named tourist facilities; the other themes each offer their own reasons to plan a stay in Pandeglang.
