Stone Garden Citatah
Ancient coral-reef rocks on a limestone hill west of Bandung. Strange rock formations are scattered across grassy slopes, with views over the Padalarang basin.
Stone Garden lies about 25 km west of Bandung, in the Citatah hills of Padalarang. On the hilltop plateau, limestone boulders of varied shapes are scattered about. These rocks were coral reefs on the seabed about 30 million years ago, and they were exposed as the earth's crust rose. The site is part of the Bandung Geopark. From the parking area, it takes about 20 to 30 minutes uphill to reach the summit, and the light at sunrise and sunset is best. Nearby is Gua Pawon, a prehistoric human site. Padalarang High-Speed Railway Station is not far away, and you can hire a car to get there.
