1. Camping Ground:

At the heart of Resort Kawah Ratu lies a vast camping ground divided into three blocks. Connected by well-paved roads accessible to both two-wheelers and four-wheelers, these blocks offer essential facilities like toilets and food stalls. From here, you can witness the sunrise over Mount Gede, making it a popular spot, especially on weekends and holidays.

2. Waterfalls:

Resort Kawah Ratu boasts seven waterfalls scattered throughout its grounds. While all are picturesque, Curug 1, 2, 3, Curug Dua Undak, and Curug Ngumpet are the more accessible ones. Their cascading waters create a serene ambiance, perfect for swimming and photography.

3. Kawah Ratu:

The pièce de résistance is, of course, Kawah Ratu itself. This volcanic crater, a result of Gunung Salak’s eruption in 1938, spans two hectares and continues to emit hot water, steam, and sulfuric gas. A popular hiking destination, reaching the crater takes about 1.5 hours or 3.5 kilometers from the Resort Kawah Ratu office in Cidahu.
