Description

Pasir Cangkudu is a hill in West Java province, Indonesia, at roughly 6.649°S 107.638°E — about 100 km southeast of Jakarta, in the hilly country east of the Bandung basin. The word "pasir" here is a Sundanese toponymic element meaning a hill or ridge, not a sand flat. According to digital-elevation-model (DEM) data compiled by the GeoNames/NGA-GNS geographic database, its summit stands about 463 m above sea level with a very small local prominence (about 7 m above the surrounding terrain) and a base width of only about 0.21 km — more a low rise among the hills than a striking peak. The surrounding land is generally hilly and turns mountainous to the southwest; the nearest higher point is Gunung Wayang (about 1,848 m), some 10.1 km to the southwest. The area is very densely populated (about 442 people/km²), with the nearest larger town, Lembang, about 18.2 km to the south, and waterfalls fairly common nearby. The surroundings are almost entirely forested. Its climate is tropical rainforest: mean temperature about 23 °C (hottest October ~25 °C, coldest January ~22 °C) and annual rainfall around 3,330 mm (wettest December ~520 mm, driest September ~33 mm). No hiking trail, tourism coverage, or specific local record could be found for this hill; this profile is compiled from open geographic databases (Wikidata, GeoNames-derived Cebuano Wikipedia, and OpenStreetMap), and its data limitations are stated plainly.
