Batu Baginde

Giant granite boulders in southern Belitung with a short climb and broad forest views

Batu Baginde is one of Belitung's inland granite spectacles: two enormous boulders rising above forest and village country in the south of the island. The short climb is the point, giving wide views over green lowland and a different perspective from Belitung's better-known beaches and offshore rocks.

Go with decent shoes and some water, as the final approach is more rustic than resort-style. It works best as part of a wider loop through southern Belitung, especially if you want proof that the island's granite landscape is not confined to the coast.
