Description

Mbukid Sambas is a forested summit on Sulawesi Island, Indonesia, at about 718 m according to a digital elevation model (DEM/SRTM) estimate. The name is recorded as an official toponym in the NGA-GNS database and mirrored into GeoNames, Wikidata, and OpenStreetMap. One data discrepancy is worth noting: Wikidata and the Cebuano Wikipedia place it in Southeast Sulawesi, but its coordinates (about 1.0°N, 121.7°E) actually fall on the northern Sulawesi peninsula near the Gorontalo–Central Sulawesi border — so the province label in those sources is a GeoNames import error, while the coordinates should be treated as authoritative. The cooler climate (mean around 18 °C) is consistent with mid-elevation forest. No hiking documentation, trail, or tourism record could be found; the available data is limited to its name, coordinates, and classification as a mountain.
