Description

Gunung Karancang is a low hill of roughly 181 m in Muncang district, Lebak Regency, Banten Province — about 70 km west of Jakarta and some 15.5 km south of Rangkasbitung, the nearest larger town. It is recorded as a named feature in the NGA/GNS toponymic database, which fed into GeoNames (ID 1992086) and into OpenStreetMap as a natural=peak node. GeoNames-derived figures put its prominence at only about 41 m above the surrounding terrain, with a base roughly 1.6 km across; the nearest higher point is Gunung Keroncong (± 277 m) about 1.1 km to the southeast. The surroundings are densely settled (± 790 people/km² by the population figures GeoNames cites), so the hill effectively sits amid villages, gardens and farmland. DATA LIMITATION: no hiking source, local-government page or news coverage discussing Gunung Karancang specifically could be found. The one encyclopedia article that exists (Cebuano Wikipedia) is a bot-generated stub derived entirely from GeoNames, not from fieldwork. Its elevation, name and position should therefore be treated as map/DEM data rather than survey results. The GeoNames figure of 181 m is consistent with a digital-elevation-model reading at the same point (± 179 m).
