Mount Gede Pangrango National Park (Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango) is in the Bogor Raya region in Western Java, Indonesia. The national park is centred on the two volcanoes Mount Gede and Mount Pangrango.
The national park is located between the cities of Bogor, Sukabumi, and Cianjur, about 60 km south of the national capital Jakarta. It is the most visited national park of Indonesia, because it can be accessed relatively easily from the densely populated Greater Jakarta area.
Mount Gede. and Mount Pangrango. are two peaks of the same mountain complex, with Gede being 2,958 m high and Pangrango 3,019 m.
