Welcome to Gunung Bagging, the independent guide to the mountains of Southeast Asia. Founded in 2009 in Jakarta, this non-profit project shares information on how to hike hundreds of peaks across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Timor-Leste (East Timor), and now much further afield. Everyone is encouraged to add their own trip reports as comments on mountain pages. Gunung Bagging is the birthplace of the Ribu concept (pronounced ree-boo - listen to audio file), defined as a mountain with a topographic prominence of 1000 metres or more, of which there are 7149 on Earth.

In 2025, Gunung Bagging expanded to cover all of Southeast Asia, adding reports and guides for mountains in Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Cambodia, and the Philippines. This more than doubles our coverage area.

As of August 2025, the project includes 743 individual mountains - 548 Ribus and 195 Spesials. Gunung Bagging is a passion project built with limited resources but endless enthusiasm. Every GPS-enabled trail map, report and regional guide exists thanks to hundreds of hours of unpaid research and development. If you find this resource useful, please consider supporting it,  whether through a one-off donation, a Premium subscription or a partnership. Even small contributions directly sustain the maps and guides that tens of thousands of hikers rely on each year. Support Gunung Bagging today via PayPal to co-founder Dan Quinn.  Last month alone, over 31,500 people visited Gunung Bagging. If even 1% of our users became Premium members, the project would be fully sustainable for years to come.

For planning your trips, here are our two updated resources:

An Excel spreadsheet with all the Southeast Asian Ribus and Spesials listed, along with elevation, prominence, region, plus latitude and longitude data.

A KML file with all the Southeast Asian Ribus and Spesials listed, for use with Google Maps or similar.
