Mount Talang

Mount Talang rises 2,597 meters above sea level, featuring multiple craters and steep slopes covered with dense tropical vegetation throughout its surface.

The volcano experienced its most substantial eruption in April 2005, causing the evacuation of 27,000 residents and spreading volcanic ash within a 5-kilometer radius.

Local communities in four districts surrounding Mount Talang maintain traditional beliefs and conduct ceremonies related to the mountain's spiritual significance.

Climbers need to register at the base camp in Arosuka town, located 9 kilometers from the mountain, and obtain permits from local authorities.

The southern section of Mount Talang contains a newly formed crater that continuously releases sulfuric smoke and volcanic ash into the environment.
