Sukabumi

Sukabumi is a landlocked city surrounded by the regency of the same name in the southern foothills of Mount Gede, in West Java, Indonesia, about 100 km south of the national capital, Jakarta.

At an altitude of approximately 584 m, the city is a minor hill station resort, with a cooler climate than the surrounding lowlands. The area around Sukabumi is also a popular destination for whitewater rafting. Tea and Rubber production is a major industry in the area. The suburban area surrounding Sukabumi circling the mountain has grown tremendously in population, such that northern Sukabumi Regency, hugging the volcano, and bordering Greater Jakarta, is home to the bulk of the regency's population.
