About the place
Bali's highest point at 3,031 metres, an active volcano and the island's holiest mountain. The 2017–2019 eruption closed the airport for several days. The sunrise climb starts at night from Besakih or Pasar Agung, takes 4–6 hours and needs a guide.
From Sidemen the mountain is visible from most villas, at once their main view and main risk: insurance and the evacuation zone come up when buying.
