Description

Buntu Tallangbulawang is a hill in Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, set in the inland hill country near the village of Marinding and about 1.4 km southeast of its higher neighbour Buntu Jalonga. Its name echoes the Tallang Bulawang toponym in the Luwu area, and the element "Buntu" is a common word for hill or mountain in South Sulawesi. Elevation data for this hill is INCONSISTENT between sources: PeakVisor lists 643 m with 63 m of prominence, while GeoNames-derived data (used by the Cebuano Wikipedia) gives only 193 m, placing the highest surrounding ground at 604 m some 1.0 km to the northwest. Because the gap is so wide, no elevation figure is published here until a field survey or an official topographic map settles it. The surroundings are hilly and almost entirely forested, with a population density of about 160 people per km², a mean temperature around 23 °C and roughly 3,025 mm of rain a year. To be clear: no climbing reports, marked trails or tourism documentation could be found for this hill — everything above comes from geographic databases (Wikidata/GeoNames, PeakVisor, OpenStreetMap) rather than field accounts.
