Description

Buntu Denkon is a mountain in Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi province, Indonesia, with its summit near 3.40°S, 120.17°E, in the highland belt bordering Tana Toraja. Its elevation is estimated at about 923 m above sea level according to the GeoNames gazetteer; the Open-Meteo elevation model gives about 849 m for that point. The word 'buntu' means mountain or peak in the Toraja (Toraja-Sa'dan) language, spoken across the Toraja highlands and surrounding areas including the northern part of Luwu Regency. The peak is recorded in geographic-name databases (the NGA GEOnet Names Server, GeoNames and OpenStreetMap) as a natural peak, but no open documentation of climbing routes or local lore is available. This profile presents the verified location and elevation data plus regional context, and will be updated as fuller sources appear.
