Belirang-Beriti

Belirang-Beriti is a volcanic complex in southwestern Sumatra with two distinct peaks rising above a broad plain. This stratovolcano forms part of the larger Bukit Barisan mountain range and supports varied plant and animal life across its slopes.

The last recorded eruption took place in the late 1800s, with few details preserved about earlier volcanic activity. Since then the volcano has remained dormant, yet its geological structure continues to shape the landscape.

Indigenous communities near Belirang-Beriti maintain strong connections to the volcanic landscape through their traditional practices and understanding of natural resources.

Reaching this site requires planning transportation from major Sumatran cities, and the tropical climate means humid and wet weather year-round. Visitors should prepare for challenging terrain and bring appropriate gear for extended journeys.

Two distinct peaks form this stratovolcano complex, which sits above the Semalako Plain and contains diverse ecosystems within the Bukit Barisan mountain range.
