List of Mountains in Bali - A

A

• Gunung Abang is the highest point on the Batur caldera's rim and, at 2,151 m, the third-highest in all of Bali. It lies to the east of Danau Batur. Abang used to be part of the original Mount Batur, but when this 4,000-meter volcano had an enormous eruption in prehistoric times, it left nothing but a large caldera and a small cone, the present-day Batur, within. Abang is not a popular peak among mountain climbers, although it is not a strenuous climb.
• Gunung Adeng is a dormant stratovolcano in the Bedugul volcanic area. It has a height of 1,826 meters.
• Gunung Agung is, by nearly a kilometer, Bali's highest mountain (3,148 m). It lies in the central-eastern part of the island. Geologically, Agung is an active stratovolcano, and has had major eruptions in the past, most significantly in 1963. According to the Balinese Hindu religion, Agung is the most sacred of mountains and is home to Bali's largest temple, Pura Besakih. Agung is popular with mountain climbers.
