      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, and has three tunnels (one of them, the Wilhemina tunnel, with a length of 1,116 metres, is the longest tunnel in Indonesia); it is also 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 its intention to re-activate the train service and will restore Pangandaran and Cijulang stations while still keeping their original features.


      Climate


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