Description

This Pasir Balukbuk is a hill in West Java Province, Indonesia, about 90 km south of Jakarta and roughly 12.5 km east of the city of Sukabumi. In Sundanese, “pasir” means hill. According to gazetteer data its summit stands at roughly 756 m above sea level and rises about 97 m above the surrounding terrain, with a base around 1.5 km across. The surrounding land is generally hilly. The highest point in the wider region is Gunung Gumuruh (2,894 m) — part of the Gede–Pangrango massif — about 19.3 km to the north. The area is fairly populated (~257 people/km²), largely forest-covered, with a humid tropical climate: average temperature around 20 °C and very high rainfall (~3,766 mm/year). Important note: several distinct hills in West Java are named “Pasir Balukbuk”; this entry refers to the one east of Sukabumi (distinct from the Pasir Balukbuk near Citeureup/Bogor). Information is very limited and derives only from global geographic databases (NGA-GNS/GeoNames), Wikidata, and OpenStreetMap — with no documented hiking route, history, or protected-area status. The data here is confined to verifiable location, elevation, and terrain, not a climbing guide.
