Gunung Agung volcano view

A rare view to the holy volcanic mountain on the way to Tulamben. Most of the time the summit is covered in a thick layer of clouds.

Standing majestically on the eastern seaboard of Bali is the island’s highest mountain Gunung Agung or Mount Agung, located in the district of Karangasem. With its summit reaching a height of 3,142 meters above sea level, Gunung Agung affects its surrounding climate. Its western slopes catch the rain clouds making the west side lush and fertile, while its eastern slopes remain dry and barren.

The Balinese believe that Gunung Agung is the abode of the gods, and the volcano, therefore, is revered as sacred. It is on this mountain that the mother of all temples in Bali is located, called Pura Besakih.
