GUNGUNG AGUNG, Bali's highest and most revered mountain, Gunung Agung is an imposing peak from most of south and east Bali, although it's often obscured by cloud and mist. Most books and maps give its height as 3142m, but some say it lost its top in the 1963 eruption and with subsequent erosion, and is now only 3014m. The summit is an oval crater, about 700m across, with its highest point on the western edge above Besakih.
