who doesn’t know this island

island with natural beauty and diversity of customs

if you like adventure, it feels not complete if you do not visited the tops of the highest mountain in Bali

The following ten highest peaks that adorn the face of Bali island

1. Mt. Agung

Height : 3,031 masl

The highest peak on the island of Bali, I recommend through Besakih. The starting point is the famous Besakih, there is now a paved road in Pura Pengubengan (about 1,100 meters above sea level), which is the highest in the region Besakih temple.

you must stay one night at Kori Agung, the limit of vegetation. you will see the best sunset views. The best time if you want to come is in August, when the wind is not so strong and set cummulus clotted clouds like cotton on our feet.

Track :

• Junggul Village 1,200 masl (path to the top and provided guides in this village),
• Pucang Village 950 masl (northwestern side line, follow the ridge until the Peak One, but is not recommended because less traveled),
• Pasar Agung temple 1,500 meters above sea level (the tourist track , the main line leading to the crater of the southern Great, recently introduced lines that can penetrate into Peak Three agung, but steep and sandy),
• Kedampal track 750 meters above sea level near Amed (no data, views of contours only to highlight East Mount Agung - 2,880 meters above sea level).

2. Mt. Batukaru

Height : 2,276 masl

    The last forests on the island of Bali, some people have great expectations on this mountain. Is the highest point of the ancient caldera region Beratan, with 7 of the summit in Bali this caldera complex. Being a region upstream receiver of rain and most of the rivers in Central Bali. Most of the region to enter conservation area nature reserve Batukaru.

  At his feet are Batukaru temple complex given the same name as the mountain, a place of worship the god-keeping plants. At the top there is Pucak Kedaton temple, the highest temple in Bali at the same time guard the Bali island.

  The rest of the crater that has been inactive Batukaru facing southeast, overlooking Pura Batukaru. When viewed from a distance like a large basin, similar to coconut shells upside down. That is why the mountain is called Batukaru, the word "Karu" on the pronunciation of "Kau" which means coconut shell in Balinese.

Track : There are three main track

• The first from Jatiluwih village (840 masl),
• Pura Batukaru (835 meters above sea level)
• and the northwest side of the village Pujungan (1,090 masl).

 

3. Mt. Abang

Height : 2,151 masl

    Look to your right if you're in Kintamani, or from the highway Panelokan. Mount the half wall collapsed due to the eruption of the ancient Batur supervulcano. Right hand of the west wall on the side of Lake Batur, the crescent-shaped lake. And the foot of Mount Abang is on the outer circle of the crescent of Lake Batur.

   Hiking ascent temple filled with Balinese antique architecture, this place has become home to residents of Bali Aga, the population original from Bali. After the Majapahit occupation, Bali Aga residents concentrated in a mountainous region that is difficult touched. Maintaining a unique tradition until now. The famous one is Trunyan, at the foot of Mount Abang, which famous for burial the bodies left on the ground in such a way.

Track :

• Suter village, the starting point at 1,400 meters above sea level
• and Songan village track, it’s starting point at 1,200 meters above sea level (with the longest horizontal tracks in Bali 7.8 km, would require at least two full days to traverse this path)

4. Mt. Catur 

Height : 2,096 masl

Catur mountain or better known as Puncak Mangu is the most southern peak of Mount Pengelengan ridge that extends from the village of Wanagiri to Bedugul. The appearance is similar to Mount Abang: Lake Beratan and half the side walls in the form of an avalanche rest of ancient eruptions.

The mountain is right in the middle of the circum Mountains of Bali. We could see all the peaks of the mountain on the island of Bali from this point. Plus the landscape of Lake Beratan and Lake Buyan is a small peek behind Mt. Tapak.

At the top there is Pucak Mangu, which in my opinion one of the most beautiful temples in Bali. Because of the existence of this temple, do not be surprised if in a given day you will see people dressed in traditional complete and bring offerings to the peak.

Track :

• Bedugul, 1,220 meters above sea level (land lines and dense forests) and
• Petang village 1,330 masl (lane cement and rocks, road tolls for climbers, just 45 minutes to the top)

5. Mt. Sangiyang

Height : 2,087 meters above sea level

    A beautiful mountain, has two peaks, the mountain seems female sex. Standing between Mt.Batukaru and Pucak Adeng. The eastern slopes are lush unspoiled valley named Pulan cauldron, the only access is just paths connecting the rest of the royal era Tamblingan and Jatiluwih, as a medium of barter coffee (from Munduk and Tamblingan) with rice (from the village of Jatiluwih).

    The closest point we have ever achieved only through this path. There is no access at all to the peak, at least so say residents whose homes were in the "hump" of Mount Sangiyang and there has never been there. At least 2 years it took us around the mountain from various sides to find a nearby village, but the result is always zero. We feel no need to bypass (read: destructive) forest to create new paths to the top.

Let this mountain looks beautiful from afar.

•  no Data

6. Mt. Pohen,

Height : 2,063 meters above sea level

     In 1994, in the nature reserve area is a major fire, endemic species of pine Pandak had become a victim. That year, Mount Pohen lost 30 hectares of forest. So sadness

But the sadness changed fury when plans to build a geothermal power plant (geothermal) established there. The goal is just to support the greed of capitalism tourism in South Bali. Three drill as deep as 2,700 meters already plug in the land of this montai, forest replaced the paved road 3 meters wide (plus 1 meter shoulders on each side) to access the passing officers, 2500 liters of water per second disbursed during the drilling process. Yet this is the only natural forest left on this small island.

Track :

• Geothermal Line, 1,550 meters above sea level, the only route to the south of the T-junction towards the Well BEL-02, a straight line to the point no zig zag slightest.

7. Mt. Tapak

Height : 1909 meters above sea level

     Mt. Tapak presents a paradox in the two sides. The southern slopes (the beautiful) stood Eka Karya Botanical Garden is famous botanical garden in Bali. All well maintained, with colorful flowers, green grass and pine were planted within a uniform.

The north side is the side of his glum. Vila was set up Dasong forest clearing, the existing land is becoming widespread to near the top, as well as all its slopes already terkapling.

But nature has its own way, a landslide killed several people going in the rainy season of 2011, as well as the sister mountain: Lake Buyan is equally bestows water to residential areas almost every year.

Track :

• Pancasari village track from the side of Lake Buyan, 1,225 meters above sea level (such as the confusing maze of lanes due to the emergence of new fields to a height of 1,700 meters above sea level).
• Eka Karya Botanical Garden track, 1310 meters above sea level (permits are required to enter this nature reserve area). Both of these paths meet at the peak of the so-called Pucak Keramat, stands the Tomb of Islamic Wali Bali and Pesimpangan Pucak Terate Bang temple

8. Mt. Lesung

Height : 1,865 meters above sea level

Open your Google Earth, search Mount Lesung on the south side of Lake Tamblingan. That look is perfectly round crater with a diameter of 600 meters. Such as bulging eyes were going to swallow anyone who approached.

There is an aura is different in this mountain forest with moss cascade green humid, statues of old scattered some point (plus offering complete with the scent of incense and fabric clothing of the statue), Goa Nagaloka - old crater like a bottomless pit (sometimes still steaming heat), also mythical herd of deer that live in the bottom of the crater.

The mountain is like a reminder we are not alone in this world, there is a parallel world that could be watching us. Bulging, like the crater of Mt. Lesung.

Track :

• Tamblingan village, following the river upstream Mue up to and from the small village next to the Bukit Shoots, 1,420 meters above sea level.

 9. Mt. Pucak Adeng

Height : 1,826 masl

    Adjacent to the Jatiluwih village, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage on Subak irrigation system, there Angsri picturesque village. At the eastern boundary of the village there is a hot water bath, the rest of the breath from volcanic Adeng 1,826 masl.

It rained almost occur throughout the year in this area, forest cover and thick foliage on the ground avalanches characterize this mountain. The peak itself is just flat land with dense forests. Throughout the 360-degree eye can see there are only trees, trees and trees. Do not leave the slightest loophole for seeing the sights.

   On the southern slopes stands Pucak Adeng, as its main building punden of padas lava, with several phallus distanakan in kemuncaknya. Pura is divided into several mandala, terraces follow the contours of the body mounts.

Track :

•  Track Pucak Adeng, 1,200 meters above sea level. Followed up towards Pucak Anyar and follow the path on the right punden

10. Mt. Batur 

Height ; 1,717 masl

    The object of the most popular hiking on the island of Bali, Mt. Batur, close the list of 10 the ultimate highlight of Bali.

    Very subtle, this mountain is conditioned for tourism purposes. At least five stalls stand in peaks to serve hot coffee before sunrise. Paved streets and large temples were established until an altitude of 1,200 meters above sea level. Pos Tour Guide is always alert since midnight to intercept the travelers who were heading peak.

Hiking track : 

• There are at least 6 hiking trail from the villages at the foot of Mount Batur. Two famous is from Pura Jati (1,100 masl) and Toya Bungkah (1,180 masl). The road is paved until I ignore an altitude of 1,200 meters above sea level, I can not take the hiking trail (knowingly still revenge, making a climbing lane is not exciting anymore).
