Bukit Guungan
REVIEWS
Short but very challenging walk. Well sign posted at first, after you leave the trees and see the hill to your right look for the turn off, you pretty much go straight up the hill in a tight zig zag from here. Look for the flags that are similar to Australian lifesaving flags but they're not super obvious. Takes about 15-20 minutes from the main road to the top. Lovely 180 views of the coast and a good view back to the inland as well. Worth the hike. Be careful coming back down, very steep and slippery. Others mention an entry fee, no one taking payment the day I climbed.

Have chosen that hill to catch sunrise over the sea. Which was a very stupid idea as the other hill doesn't let you see the sun until it's up lol Still, for the tracking route uphill, it took around 20 mins to climb up even though it was still dark (like 5 am). But I'm somewhat sportive person, so plan your time accordingly. There are sorts of steps here and there but it's still not easy especially going down is pretty much dangerous. This hill would probably serve a better viewpoint for a sunrise but haven't checked that.

We walked to the top but be aware it's very steep and coming down is not easy in parts. This track is through old rice paddies on a v steep hill. The scenery is great and you get fab views of Candidasa.

If you riding a bike or motorcycle, be careful because the entrance path kind of bumpy. Well.. the tracking path also intriguing. It's not so high, but I recommend you to hike in early morning, because sunrise view is superb! You'll fall in love for sure! Ps : You can buy a hot coffee down the hill. It's just feels great! 😜

Nice views, although the climb was very challenging, afterwards I found out another way up, through the road and not straight up the terraces, but it starts in a very weird place in some backyard of people living 😁 You can even go up with a bike, although I wouldn’t atrempt it, it’s a steep dirt road.
