Description

Pasir Balukbuk is a small hill in West Java Province, Indonesia, about 30 km south of Jakarta. In Sundanese, “pasir” means hill. According to gazetteer data its summit stands at roughly 414 m above sea level and rises only about 18 m above the surrounding terrain, with a base around 0.38 km across — making it a low knoll rather than a mountain. The surrounding land is hilly to the south and flattens to the north; the nearest higher point is a local Gunung Karang (713 m), about 2.5 km to the south. The nearest larger town is Citeureup, about 11.2 km to the west. The area is densely populated (~369 people/km²), largely forest-covered, with a humid tropical climate: average temperature around 24 °C and high rainfall (~3,326 mm/year). Important note: several distinct hills in West Java are named “Pasir Balukbuk”; this entry refers to the one near Citeureup (Bogor Regency). Information on this hill 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.
