Agung
Mount Agung is Bali's highest mountain (3,142 m). It lies in the central-eastern part of the island of Bali, situated in Karangsem Regency. Geologically, Mt. Agung is an active stratovolcano, and has had significant eruptions during the past, most drastically in 1963. But since the last eruption in 1963, there was no volcanic activity to this day, it can be said that Mount Agung is sleeping now.According to the Balinese Hindu religion, Agung (Gunung Agung in Balinese and Indonesian) is the most sacred mountain in Bali and it is home to Bali's largest temple, Besakih Temple. Agung volcano is very popular with mountain climbers and trekkers, and it's very famous for sunrise trekking but because of its difficulty, is far less touristy than Batur.
