Moncong Baika is a peak in Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi province, Indonesia, with its summit near 5.42°S, 119.60°E (around Polombangkeng district). Its elevation is estimated at about 328 m above sea level according to the GeoNames gazetteer; the Open-Meteo elevation model gives a close figure of about 321 m. The word 'moncong' means peak or mountain in the Makassar language, an Austronesian language spoken across the southern part of South Sulawesi including Takalar. The hill is recorded in geographic-name databases (the NGA GEOnet Names Server, GeoNames and OpenStreetMap) as a natural peak, but no open documentation of climbing routes or local lore is available.
