Mount Agung trekking
This sacred mountain is to The Balinese what Olympus was to the ancient Greeks the cosmic Mountain. The Balinese, who consider this volcano”The Navel of the world” always sleep with their heads toward Agung. The mystical Balinese believe The Mountain was raised by the gods as vantage point to view the unceasing pageant of live below. To them it`s a central heavenly point of reference , The geographical and religious center of the world. With an elevation of 3,014 meters { 3,142 meter before the 1963 eruption }, The foot of the Mountain stretches northeast right to the sea. To the southeast its slope is blocked by a line of small extinct volcanos; To the northwest Mount Agung is separated from Gunung Batur by a narrow valley. When you fly into Bali, You`ll see the shadowy outline of the Giant blue-black mountain dominating the landscape. Early in the Morning its peak can be seen poking through the clouds from almost any part of Bali. Whether in the bright sunshine or moonlight, a stream of clouds on the crest always trails off in the wind. From the summit you can see Pura Besakih or Besakih temple, Mount Rinjani on Lombok island to the east, Singaraja, and the whole north coast. The lower portions of the mountain are heavily forested, and farmed up to about 1,000 meters.
