Ciptagelar

Founded in 1368, the hamlet is the largest village of the Kasepuhan community which retains traditional Sundanese social structure and strictly adheres to adat (customary law) to this day.

[2] The village is situated at an altitude of 1,050 meters above sea level and has a temperature ranging from 20 to 26 degrees Celsius.

Houses in the village are made of wood, covered with bamboo booths, and roofed with dried palm fronds.

[2] The majority of villagers in the Kasepuhan Ciptagelar community work as farmers, especially those who live in the Mount Halimun National Park area.

It is prohibited to sell rice or paddy, and this makes Kasepuhan Ciptagelar able to achieve food self-sufficiency for the subsequent years after the harvest.

[4] According to the Ministry of Education and Culture, the village of Ciptagelar already uses modern technology such as turbine generators and solar panels.
