Mount Galunggung’s volcanic foothills define the setting of Tasikmalaya — they place this West Javanese city in Java’s inland highlands rather than on its coastal plain. Tasikmalaya is an important urban centre of the Priangan region, where Sundanese language and customs remain central to everyday life. The city is particularly associated with craft production: kelom geulis, hand-decorated wooden sandals, and bamboo wares are among its recognised local products. Galunggung also recalls the major eruption of 1982, whose ash disrupted aviation far beyond West Java. Continue with other webcams from West Java to see how this part of Java connects regionally.
