Balinese believes that Mt. Agung is the most sacred place on the island, the oldest and mother temple Besakih also built on the slope of this volcano. At lower parts of the mountain, most areas are covered in lush green forest, but as you go up, it will be replaced with a desolate landscape of barren volcanic rock and ash scree.
