The car from Denpasar all the way to the northeast, with the altitude gradually rising, the outdoor temperature is gradually lowering, a huge cone mountain is hiding behind the thick clouds, that is, the 3,142 meters altitude of the Argonne volcano, every 50 years or so will have a violent eruption, The last violent eruption, according to the guide, occurred in 1963, when ash was up to 4,000 meters high and was regarded by locals as a mountain of gods
Agon volcano is not dead volcano, it is also very memorable attraction, we did not go hiking, just look at it from a distance, if you come to the terraces, you can see this famous volcano
For the Balinese, Mount Agung is considered a sacred place as well as purified. Moreover, on these mountains there is also the Besakih Temple, which is one of the most important temples according to Hindus in Bali.
tough hike. but worth every effort!!
Bali is a volcanic island, and today's itinerary has arranged for the Argonne volcano, which is the highest peak in Bali (3142 meters above sea level). From noon to the foot of the mountain, the mountain top is covered with clouds and fog. The road stretches from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. The higher the gradient, the more the motorcycle throttle is screwed to the end, the car will be skidded. Indonesians and Thais do not seem to be good at repairing Panshan Road. There is still an hour's walk from the end of the road to the top of the mountain.
Today, I came to the Agon volcano in Bali. After listening to the introduction of the earth guide, I learned something about it. Agon volcano is an active volcano located in the eastern part of Bali, Indonesia. It is 3142 meters above sea level. It is the highest peak in Bali and is regarded as a sacred mountain by the local people. The eruption cycle is about 50 years. The most recent violent eruption occurred in 1963, when ash erupted as high as 4,000 meters, resulting in 1,500 deaths.
