Gunung Panggongan

Information

Elevation

144 m

Country

Indonesia (ID)

Location / Range

Perbukitan Lombok selatan, Desa Pandan Indah, Kecamatan Praya Barat Daya, Kabupaten Lombok Tengah, Nusa Tenggara Barat

Mountain type

Bukit rendah (hill). Basis toponimi NGA/GNS memberinya kode fitur "HLL" — bukit, bukan gunung — dan OpenStreetMap memetakannya sebagai titik natural=peak

Volcanic?

No (non-volcanic)

Coordinates

-8.8060, 116.1941

Difficulty

Tidak terdokumentasi. Tidak ditemukan laporan jalur pendakian, basecamp, atau pos registrasi untuk bukit ini; dengan tonjolan hanya 25–31 m di atas medan sekelilingnya, naik ke puncaknya lebih menyerupai berjalan di lahan pertanian daripada mendaki

Best Season

Tidak ada rekomendasi resmi. Data iklim turunan yang menyertai entri ensiklopedis menyebut iklim sabana dengan suhu rata-rata 24 °C, bulan terpanas Oktober (26 °C) dan terdingin Februari (22 °C); curah hujan tahunan ± 1.659 mm, terbasah Januari (± 397 mm) dan terkering Agustus (± 10 mm). Musim kemarau Juli–Oktober karena itu paling kering untuk kunjungan lapangan, meski juga paling panas dan gersang

Permits & Rules

Tidak ada informasi izin yang terpublikasi. Lahan di sekitarnya berupa sawah, ladang, dan permukiman Desa Pandan Indah, sehingga akses sebaiknya dimintakan kepada aparat desa atau pemilik lahan setempat

Hazards

Tidak ada catatan bahaya spesifik yang terpublikasi. Risiko utama kawasan adalah panas dan kekeringan pada musim kemarau serta minimnya naungan di lanskap sabana; ketinggian jauh di bawah 1.000 m membuat risiko penyakit ketinggian nihil

Description

Gunung Panggongan is a low hill in Pandan Indah village, Praya Barat Daya district, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, in the southern part of Lombok island. Despite the name "gunung" (mountain), the NGA/GNS toponymic database classifies it as HLL — a hill — and its elevation differs by source: the GNS record passed on to GeoNames (ID 7056653) and Wikidata (Q25287347) gives 144 m, the PeakVisor topographic database computes 136 m with 25 m of prominence, while a digital-elevation-model reading at the same point gives roughly 115 m. The GeoNames-derived encyclopaedic entry adds a prominence of about 31 m above the surrounding terrain and a base only some 0.21 km across — a small rise in a plain rather than a prominent summit. The highest point nearby is Gunung Mareje (714 m) about 7.2 km to the northwest, and the nearest town is Praya, some 14 km to the northeast. The setting is typical of southern Lombok: a savanna climate far drier than the island's north, almost entirely covered by farmland, with a population density of around 493 people per km². Its most significant regional context is the Pengga Dam in Plambik village of the same district, about 5–6 km to the north — built in 1991–1994, it now supplies raw water to the Mandalika Special Economic Zone and irrigates thousands of hectares of rice fields in Central Lombok, according to Indonesia's Directorate General of Water Resources. DATA LIMITATION: not a single hiking source, village government page or media report discussing this particular hill could be found. Every figure above comes from toponymic databases and elevation models rather than published field measurement. No freely licensed photograph of its summit exists; the image shown is a landscape of the low hills of Central Lombok in the surrounding area, not the Panggongan summit.
