Known to locals as the ‘navel of the world’. Gunung Agung is
Bali’s highest and holiest peak and the most dominant feature in the eastern
landscape. Although not technically a day trip, it is actually
possible to complete the arduous trek to the summit and back down again within
24 hours. Anyone in good physical shape with no extensive climbing experience
should be able to make the formidable hike that takes between 4.5 - 7 hours
each way (depending on pace) to complete, but you should be able to traverse a
variety of steep and arduous terrain ranging from thick jungle brush to
slippery mud to crumbling shale. If your
legs can carry you to the top you won’t find a more sublime 360-degree view,
guaranteed.
This high mountain influences the climate of the area. The clouds come from the west and Agung take their water so that the west is lush and green and the east dry and barren. The large and very deep crater occasionally belches smoke and ash. From a distance, the mountain appears to be perfectly conical, despite the existence of the large crater. From the peak of the mountain, it is possible to see the peak of Mount Rinjani on the island of Lombok, although both mountains are frequently covered in clouds.
