Description

Gunung Burung is a forested mountain in the interior of Aceh Province, northern Sumatra, within the Bukit Barisan range. Its summit is estimated at about 1,527 m above sea level according to the topographic database (GeoNames/SRTM) referenced by Wikidata, with a prominence of roughly 133 m above the surrounding terrain and a base about 3.7 km wide; another source (Acehnese Wikipedia) records a lower figure of about 1,394 m, so the elevation remains an estimate that varies between sources. The surrounding land is mountainous to the west and hilly to the east; the nearest higher summit is Gunung Mengajah (2,031 m), about 3.8 km to the south. The area is almost uninhabited (around 3 people/km²) and almost entirely forest-covered. Data is limited and there is no record of an official climbing route—the information is confined to verified facts rather than invention.
