Cibodas Botanical Gardens

Cibodas Botanical Gardens (Kebun Raya Cibodas) is a 84.99-hectare botanical garden located in Sindanglaya, Cipanas, Cianjur Regency, West Java, on the slopes of Mount Gede at about 1,300-1,425 meters elevation. Founded in 1852 as an extension of Bogor Botanical Gardens, it is managed by BRIN and conserves highland tropical plants, featuring extensive lawns, glasshouses, and collections of ferns, succulents, and Cinchona.

Visitors can expect a cool mountain garden with wide landscaped lawns, paved pathways, large plant collections, glasshouses for cacti and orchids, a Sakura garden, and forested areas. The garden offers views of Mount Gede and Mount Pangrango, picnic areas, photo spots, educational displays, and access to trails leading toward waterfalls and Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park.

Founded on 11 April 1852 by Dutch botanist Johannes Elias Teijsmann, curator of Bogor Botanical Gardens, as a mountain branch for acclimatizing temperate and highland plants. Initially used for Cinchona cultivation for quinine production and later developed as a major center for highland tropical plant conservation and research under BRIN.

Serves as a national center for plant conservation, scientific research, and environmental education, representing Indonesia's botanical heritage and highland horticultural traditions. It is a popular recreational and educational destination for families and students.
