The district is known for its mild climate, tea fields, and extensive views, being located at a rather high altitude.[citation needed] Near the district is a mountain pass known for its villas and hostels, as well as a well-known "heritage" hotel known as the "Puncak Pass", built in 1928.[4]
Cisarua is also known due to the relatively high population of people of Middle East ethnic origin, and the use of Indonesian Arabic as well having a sizeable population of asylum seekers and refugees, mainly coming from Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as ones coming from parts of Africa, primarily from Sudan, Egypt, and Somalia. The reason why many asylum seekers has sought refuge here is because of the relatively cool temperatures, as well as its location being close to the UNHCR offices in the capital Jakarta, which are located roughly about 72 kilometres north of the district.
