Description

Bulu Towelo is a peak in Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi province, Indonesia, with its summit near 1.95°S, 120.18°E. Its elevation is estimated at about 1,160 m above sea level from the Open-Meteo digital-terrain elevation model; geographic-name databases (the NGA GEOnet Names Server, GeoNames and Wikidata) classify it as a mountain but do not yet record an official elevation figure. The name element 'bulu' means 'mountain' in the Bugis language, an Austronesian language spoken widely across Sulawesi including by migrant communities in Central Sulawesi, while the native population of the Poso area is generally Pamona-speaking. The hill is recorded in geographic-name databases and OpenStreetMap as a natural peak (source NGA-GNS), but no open documentation of climbing routes or local lore is available. This profile presents the verified location and estimated elevation plus regional and language context, and will be updated as fuller sources appear.
