Citambur Waterfall, a waterfall that the height approximately 100 meters in Karang Jaya Village, Pagelaran Sub District, South Cianjur, West Java, Java Island, Indonesia. The water was very cold and there is no one that is brave bathed in fallen of the water. The body will hurt very much when being fallen on water because of the volume quite big, bigger and higher than Cimahi Waterfall in the Cisarua area, Bandung District.

The waterfall that has location in South Ciwidey, Bandung District, that the distance approximately 40 km, had beautiful scenery. Around the waterfall always was covered the thin fog and the so hard fallen water voice and sometimes come between by the voice of thrush birds, as though enriching the symphony of the voice of region nature. Was there feel like in the wild that still “virgin”, often was not yet touched the hands of humankind. The tourist attraction was still exotic.

There were two versions, why the waterfall that was named Citambur. Dargana, Chairman Badan Pertimbangan of the Village (BPD) the Karang Jaya Village explained, people say old previously, each waterfall that fell to the sounding pond “bergedebum (boom)” like the drum. At that time, possibly the volume of the waterfall far more bigger from now and the pond of enough areas so as to cause the sound like the musical instrument of a drum that was stricken each kind of water fell on the pond. Together with wiped the volume of water, the sound did not can be heard again.

The other version, this waterfall previously including the royal territory of the Tanjung Anginan Kingdom, that the king had the title of Prabu Tanjung Anginan. The centre of the kingdom was in Pasirkuda, that currently including the Simpang Village and Karang Jaya, Pagelaran Sub District. The assumption of the centre of the authority was there because of having the stone that had the shape of the seat that was believed in by the resident as the king's seat. In the meantime, the Pasirkuda name because of having a stone in the hill (sand in Sundanese Language) that had the shape of the horse.

When the kingdom stood, each king wanted to bathe to waterfall always was indicated with the drum voice, which hit by the guards. The voice “boom” of the musical instrument that canned be heard quite far so as the resident Pasirkuda mentioned it Citambur Waterfall.

However, both Dargana and the Head of Karang Jaya Village, Pagelarang Sub District, Cianjur District, did not when the Tanjung Anginan Kingdom was stood. In available history books, was not known this kingdom. Possibly, the Tanjung Anginan Kingdom is only a legend. Only that definitely, Head of Karang Jaya Village said, sometimes in Citambur Waterfall, there was human being doing meditation. They apparently regarded that the waterfall had the strength supranatural.
