Description

Mbukid Nettelung is a forested peak in Central Sulawesi province, Indonesia, on the northern arm of Sulawesi island, at roughly 0.882°N 121.079°E — about 1,800 km northeast of Jakarta. According to digital-elevation-model (DEM) data compiled by the GeoNames/NGA-GNS geographic database, its summit stands about 802 m above sea level with a local prominence of about 193 m above the surrounding terrain. Unlike many other NGA-GNS toponyms in Indonesia that are low knolls, Mbukid Nettelung sits in genuine mountain terrain: the surrounding land is hilly and flattens toward the northwest, within a notably mountainous region. The nearest higher point is Buluye Saumpa (about 2,056 m), some 19.7 km to the south. The area is almost uninhabited (fewer than 2 people per km²) with no town, and is nearly entirely covered in forest. Its climate is a cool tropical rainforest type: mean temperature about 21 °C (hottest March ~22 °C, coldest June ~19 °C) and annual rainfall around 2,140 mm (wettest December ~263 mm, driest September ~58 mm). No hiking trail, tourism coverage, or specific local record could be found for this peak; this profile is compiled from open geographic databases, and its data limitations are stated plainly.
