Description

Gunung Catur lies in Bali’s Beratan caldera area; Wikidata records an elevation of 2,096 m. A common hiking destination is Pura Pucak Mangu, reached from Pelaga/Petang or Lake Beratan at Bedugul. Gunung Bagging distinguishes the temple from the higher Penggilingan point, roughly one kilometre farther along the ridge. Forest trails and places of worship define this walk; reaching the temple does not necessarily mean reaching the highest point. Map elevations and field reports differ, so this profile retains Wikidata’s value without resolving the highest-point survey.

Routes

Bedugul/Danau Beratan – Pura Pucak Mangu

The forest approach starts near Goa Japan on Lake Beratan’s southern shore. Gunung Bagging estimates three hours up and two down, passing several shelters before steeper ground near the temple. The account notes an old landslide section before Pucak Mangu. Continuing to Penggilingan is a separate extension.

Pelaga/Petang – Pura Pucak Mangu

From Pelaga, stone steps lead past Pura Beji to Pura Pucak Mangu. Nuada Dukuh reported roughly two hours uphill for the group; this route ends at the temple, not necessarily at the highest Penggilingan point.
