Mount Papandayan is a complex stratovolcano located in Garut Regency to the southeast of the city of Bandung in West Java Indonesia. It is about 15 km to the southwest of the town of Garut. At the summit there are four large craters which contain active fumarole fields. An eruption in 1772 caused the northeast flank to collapse producing a catastrophic debris avalanche that destroyed 40 villages and killed nearly 3000 people.
