Geureudong

Located in northern Sumatra, Geureudong rises to an elevation of 2,885 meters and features a conical shape formed by layers of andesite rock.

The geological formation of Geureudong occurred through tectonic activity involving the subduction of the Indian-Australian Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate over millions of years.

The mountain holds importance for local communities in Aceh province, where agricultural activities, particularly coffee cultivation, thrive in the surrounding fertile slopes.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, requiring proper preparation due to the challenging terrain and variable weather conditions at high altitudes.

Natural hot springs emerge around the base of Geureudong, while the nearby Lembah Tamat area provides opportunities to observe wild elephants in their habitat.
