Feeding the Civilization

Active volcano Mount Ciremai last erupted in 1938. Although Mount Ciremai is a volcano, it has a lovely aspect, an undulating structure, several hills, and a variety of mountains. The park, which covers an area of 15,500 meters, serves as a water supply for the neighborhood. There are 156 springs dispersed throughout 43 headwaters, and 147 of them produce drinkable water. Agriculture, fisheries, industry, and drinking water all use this water.

A source of life for the surrounding community 

Through Ipukan, tourists may get a bird's-eye perspective of the Ciremai mountain valley. Ipukan is 1,700 meters above sea level, which makes it simpler for tourists to observe the opposite foot of the mountain. This area is home to a variety of wildlife, including Javanese eagles and panthers. There is Cisurian Waterfall beside the valley if you're interested in water tourism. This waterfall, which is 40 meters tall, is incredibly calming to the spirit. This waterfall features a top-notch water park that is distinguished by the presence of animals.

Unique Features

  • The park is home to more than 90 species of coral and over 240 species of reef fish, making it a haven for diving and snorkeling.
  • It protects rare species such as green turtles, hawksbill turtles, dugongs, and blacktip reef sharks in their natural habitats.
  • The islands feature white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, and secluded sandbars, ideal for swimming and beach hopping.
  • Karimunjawa also preserves mangrove forests and seagrass beds, which are vital breeding grounds for marine life and support coastal biodiversity.
  • Visitors can experience authentic island life, stay in local homestays, and participate in eco-tourism activities with the community.
