Description

Bukit Temiang is a forested mountain peak in the Bukit Barisan range of Jambi Province, Sumatra, Indonesia. According to the DEM-based geographic database summarised on Cebuano Wikipedia, its summit reaches about 1,798 metres above sea level (other mapping databases record a figure of around 1,750 m), at coordinates near 1°47′ South and 101°43′ East — roughly 800 kilometres north-west of Jakarta. Its prominence is only about 15 metres, indicating it is a bump on a broader ridge; the nearest higher peak (about 2,093 m) lies some 15 kilometres to the south-west. The surrounding area is almost entirely forest-covered with a very low population density (about 4 people per square kilometre). The climate is tropical, with an average temperature of around 19°C and annual rainfall of about 3,330 millimetres. Bukit Temiang has virtually no climbing documentation: there is no record of an official trail, and available information is limited to geographic data from mapping databases and encyclopaedias.
