Transportation[edit]
Rail transport[edit]
The currently non-operational train service between Banjar and Cijulang, with a length of 82.385 kilometers, gives a beautiful panorama along the track, including hills and a view of the sea from above Pangandaran. The track has several old stations with class I, II, and III categories, has three tunnels (one of them, the Wilhemina tunnel, with a length of 1,116 metres, is the longest tunnel in Indonesia); it also has the longest (Cikacepit) bridge in Indonesia, with a length of 1,250 metres and a height of 100 metres above the ground. The rail authority has announced their intention to re-activate the train service, and will restore Pangandaran and Cijulang stations while still keeping their original features.[6]

Banjar has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with heavy to very heavy rainfall year-round.
