Pandeglang

The wild westernmost tip of Java, where the Ujung Kulon World Heritage site serves as the final sanctuary for the Javan rhinoceros.

Pandeglang is located in Banten Province, Indonesia, at the southwestern tip of Java, facing Sumatra and the Indian Ocean. Ujung Kulon National Park within the regency is a World Heritage site and the habitat of the critically endangered Javan rhinoceros, though the rhinos are extremely elusive. Peucang Island serves as the base for exploration, Cidaon grazing ground offers sightings of wild banteng and peacocks, and the Cigenter River is perfect for canoeing. Karang Copong, Tanjung Layar Lighthouse, Panaitan Island, and Umang Island each have their own unique charm. Tanjung Lesung Beach is ideal for a resort getaway. The drier period is from around April to October. Travelers typically go overland from Jakarta to coastal piers and then take a boat.
