Description

Pasir Kerud is a hill in West Java Province, Indonesia, about 90 km southeast of Jakarta. In Sundanese, “pasir” means hill. According to gazetteer data its summit stands at roughly 551 m above sea level and rises about 65 m above the surrounding terrain, with a base around 2.2 km across. The surrounding land is hilly to the southeast and flattens to the northwest. The nearest higher point is Pasir Sanggar (1,095 m), about 5.1 km to the south, while the nearest larger town is Ciranjang-hilir, about 6.8 km to the north (Cianjur Regency). The area is very densely populated (~881 people/km²), largely forest-covered, with a humid tropical climate: average temperature around 22 °C and high rainfall (~3,326 mm/year). Important note: many hills in West Java are named “Pasir Kerud”; this entry refers to the one near Ciranjang (Cianjur) at these coordinates. Information is very limited and derives only from global geographic databases (NGA-GNS/GeoNames), Wikidata, and OpenStreetMap — with no documented hiking route, history, or protected-area status. The data here is confined to verifiable location, elevation, and terrain, not a climbing guide.
