Holiday Ayo - Large and small stones are scattered on this 2 hectare land. These white stones stand in contrast to the green meadows. The green scenery is refreshing to the eyes. The location of the rock is irregular as if this area has been rained on by rocks. This unique tour is called Stone Garden Geopark Citatah, Padalarang.

These giant rocks were discovered by research members from ITB in 2000, and were later inaugurated as a tourist spot by the local government. People believe that these karst rocks used to be the seabed that experienced a land rise, so that a hill with coral rocks was formed as it is now.

In addition to karst rock hills, KRCB ITB also found Pawon Cave, which is located not far from Stone Garden. This place is located in the highlands of Mount Masigit, Padalarang with an altitude of about 908 meters above sea level and an area of 2 hectares.
