Bukit Kaba

Bukit Kaba is an active stratovolcano located in Selupu Rejang, Rejang Lebong Regency, Bengkulu Province, Sumatra, Indonesia. Part of the Bukit Barisan mountain range, it rises to about 1,952 meters above sea level and features twin craters with sulfur lakes. Notable for its accessible hiking trail, dense montane forest, and panoramic views, it is a popular nature destination within the Bukit Kaba Nature Recreation Park.

Visitors can expect a moderately strenuous hike through tropical montane forest to a broad volcanic summit featuring two large craters, Kawah Lama and Kawah Baru, with active sulfur vents and greenish crater lakes. The summit area offers open, rocky terrain with panoramic views of Rejang Lebong and the Bukit Barisan range. Facilities are basic, with a registration post at Sumber Urip Village trailhead, shelters along the trail, and camping areas near the crater rim.

Bukit Kaba is a twin stratovolcano (Bukit Kaba and Bukit Hitam) in the Bukit Barisan volcanic chain. It has a history of phreatic eruptions, with the most recent significant eruption in August 2000 that led to temporary evacuations. The volcano is monitored by the Indonesian volcanology agency and forms part of the Bukit Kaba Nature Recreation Park established for conservation.

The mountain lies in the traditional area of the Rejang people, the dominant ethnic group in Rejang Lebong. It is valued locally as a natural landmark and recreational area and is managed as a nature recreation park for conservation and community-based tourism.
