East Nusa Tenggara Province
The Capital City of East
Nusa Tenggara Province is “Kupang”
In many ways East Nusa Tenggara is different from the
rest of Indonesia. It is geographically and culturally, a border area where the
transition from Asia to Australia and
Micronesia takes place. The island is formed by the protruding peaks of mountain
chain which begin in the north of Sumbawa, stretching across Jawa toward the
east. But where as Sumatera, Java and
Kalimantan are separated from each other the Asian mainland by shallow seas,
the island of Nusa Tenggara have apparently always been separated from the
Asian landmass by deep sea beds.
The arrid landscape of eastern and south
eastern Nusa Tenggara is the result of hot dry winds that come blowing from the
Australian continent. In many coastal areas not a drop a rain falls during most
of the year. Temperatures vary from hot in coastal areas to very cool in the
mountains, sometimes, reaching 50 to 70 Celcius. To many
modern naturalist, what makes East Nusa
Tenggara so particularly interesting is not the animal species it shares with
other parts of the world, but the one which it doesn’t : “The Komodo Giant Lizard Dragon”.Called “Ora” by the local
population, the Komodo Dragon “Varanus
Komodoensis” is actually a giant monitor lizard. Growing up to 3 to 4
meters in length, it’s ancestors roamed the earth up to about half a million
years ago. Discovered in 1911 by Dutch army officer, it is at present a
protected species, found only on the island of Komodo and a few other islands
nearby, off the western tip of Flores.
The Komodo nature reserve is now part of a
national park. The island itself is almost all hills covered with grassland,
brushes lontar palms and some woodland. It is home to a number of rare bird
species, deers and wild digs which are prey to the Lizard Dragons.The only
human habitation on Komodo consists of a cluster of thatched huts on stilts and
a mosque. The park, is now fully operational and offers adequate visitor
facilities. The Komodo National Park includes a marine reserve with fine
mangrove stands and corals in crystal clear waters.The East Nusa Tenggara main
islands are Flores and Sumba. Besides 563 other small islands such as Roti,
Sabu, Alor, Lembata, etc. Their megalithic tombs and native villages still
remains the past. It’s unspoilt beaches, megalithic tombs, traditional “ikat”
glorious weaving, magnificent folk dancing and traditional dancing will enhance
your experience.
Lake Kalimutu is an unactive mountain and
lokated 1,600 above sea level in Central Flores. The Lake has been choosen as wonder of the
world with it’s colorfull water in three different colours blank, dark red and
dark blue, caused by mineral which are disolved in it. The panorama from the
crater rim is unbelievable.Komodo island is home of the giant lizard, where
located between the island of Sumbawa and Flores. The island is surrounded by
the crystal clear waters of the sea, ideal for snorkeling and pearl diving. The
best months for visiting the island are from March to June.
Kupang
The
provincial capital of East Nusa Tenggara in West Timor has a population of
about 200.000 which makes it the largest urban center of Nusa Tenggara. The
Museum Kupang has on display itmes of historical and cultural value. Lasiana
Beach, 10 kilometers from the city, is the popular place for outings.
Kupang was an important
port and trading point during the Portuguese and Dutch colonial
eras. There are ruins and remnant signs of the colonial presence in the city.
Representatives of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) approached Kupang in 1613 after
having conquered the Portuguese fort on Solor. At this time the place and its
hinterland was governed by a raja of the Helong tribe which claimed descent from Ceram in Maluku. Kupang
was well situated for strategic control over parts of Timor, since it was
possible to monitor shipping activities to the south coast of the island.
Moreover, the Koinino River provided fresh water for the inhabitants. A
VOC-Helong agreement was made, but due to the lack of VOC commitment on Timor,
Kupang was later influenced by the Portuguese mestizo
population of Flores, the Topasses. A Portuguese stronghold was established by the 1640s.
However, the VOC was firmly established on Solor in 1646, and renewed contacts
with the local raja. In January 1653 a Dutch fortification, Fort Concordia, was
built on a height to the left of the river estuary. Kupang became the base of
the Dutch struggle against the Portuguese. After a series of Dutch defeats in
1655, 1656 and 1657, large refugee groups from the VOC allies Sonbai and Amabi settled in the vicinity of Kupang in
1658 and formed small kingdoms on land that traditionally belonged to the
Helong. They were followed by two other groups, Amfoan (1683) and Taebenu
(1688). The Helong raja remained the "lord of the land" (tuan
tanah) but was closely dependent on the VOC authorities. Apart from the old
Helong territory, Timor was largely dominated by the Portuguese up to 1749.
The Dutch set up a European
administration with a chief executive (opperhoofd) and a council.
Affairs with the indigenous populations were regulated through regular meetings
(vergaderingen). The Kupang administration handled affairs with the
VOC-allied islands Rote, Savu and Solor. Chinese traders and artisans settled by the
early 18th century and soon became indispensable for the economic life. The
town area was also settled by various indigenous groups from the region, and by
mardijkers who were non-whites under Dutch
jurisdiction. In 1752 the population was 827 Christians and an unspecified
number of non-Christians. The political importance of Kupang on a Timor-wide
level increased greatly in 1749 when the Topasses were decisively defeated by
the Dutch and their allies, which led to the extension of VOC influence over
wide areas of western and central Timor. Nevertheless, some of this influence
contracted after 1761 due to incompetence and inaction on the part of the
colonial administration.
Traditional Costumes
The East Nusa Tenggara costume and it's
ornamentis considered describle glory, bravery, and saintlines for user.The
Amarasi men, who are part of Dawan tribes in West Timor, usually wear Pilu
(hat) from Batik printing or specified Flores hat, shoulder belts (Po'uk) and a
kind of sheath or Taimuti.There is general common in East Nusa Tenggara
especially in Timor ad Sumba to wear crossway over their shoulders Kapisak or
Aluk, which is made from leaf plait or squared linen.The Amarasi women wear two
pieces of weaved textiles as body-cover which are Tais or Tarunat and
shoulder-belt.In their foreheads adorned with a so-well-known-salled Pato Ebon.
The
Soe
In the
hills of 110 kilometers from Kupang it is a cool town known for it’s fruits and
flowers. Not far from Soe is an ancient graveyard.
Mount
Kelimutu
East
Nusa Tenggara’s natural wonder and one of the more spectacular sights in all of
Indonesia could be found on top of this mountain northeast of Ende. The three
crater lakes are filled with water of different colours, caused by minerals
which are dissolved in it. According to local belief, the lake with the water
the colour of red wine is for the souls of sinners. The souls of virgins and
the pure of heart find a home in the green lake, while those of the elderly and all the others go to
the one with the blue water. The colours, change continously. The panorama from
the crater rim is unbelievable. There are villages in the surrounding where
local handicrafts are made.
Lake Kelimutu
Lake Kelimutu, part of
kelimutu national park, is situated on the peak of mount kelimutu which is at
an altitude of 1.631 meters.administratively located in the district of Ende,
East Nusa Tenggara Province. Kelimutu
is a volcano, close to the town of Moni in central Flores Island of Indonesia
containing three summit crater lakes of varying colors. Tiwu Ata Mbupu (Lake of
Old People) is usually blue and is the westernmost of the three lakes. The
other two lakes, Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai (Lake of Young Men and Maidens) and
Tiwu Ata Polo (Bewitched or Enchanted Lake) are separated by a shared crater
wall and are typically green or red in color, respectively. The lake colors do
vary on a periodic basis. Subaqueous fumaroles are the probable cause of active
upwelling that occurs at the two eastern lakes.
The lake have been a source
of minor phreatic eruptions in historical time. The summit of the compound
1639-m-high Kelimutu volcano is elongated two km in a WNW-ESE direction; the
older cones of Kelido and Kelibara are located respectively three km to the
north and two km to the south. The scenic lakes are a popular tourist destination.
Keli Mutu is also of interest to geologists because the three lakes are
different colors yet reside at the crest of the same volcano there are three
bac waters in the lake which tend to turn their colors. for instance the water
in one of those , change fro red to bottle green then someday it can be pink
and in another backwater , the water turn from bottle green into light green,
the last one , the water can change from deep brown into azure. Although the
guidebooks all talk about being up on the summit for sunrise, you should do
that only if you're a fan of sunrises. The lakes do not show their glory until
the sun hits them, which will be about 8 or 9 in the morning, depending on the
lake. It can accessed by taking air transportation from kupang, the capital of
east nusa tenggara province, to ende district, it will be approximately 40
minutes, The closest airports are Maumere, and Ende. There are regular flights
to Maumere from Bali. continue the journey by public transportations to kaonara
village, about 93 km away or 3 hous, then continued by walk for around 2.5 km.
entrance ticket is IDR 3000, on the weekend the ticket will be IDR 5000. Moni
is a small settlement at the foot of the volcanic Mount Kelimutu on the island
of Flores in Indonesia. It is a good base for a trip to the colored lakes of
the volcano. The drive from Maumere to Moni, the town at the base of Keli Mutu,
takes about 3 hours.
We could visit Detusoko walk for 1,5 km to
see the Three Colored Lake of Kelimutu, which has dark red, brown and turqoise
blue colors. Lakes of Kelimutu were
discovered by a Dutch geologist in 1914 and the colors were red, blue and
white. Descent to Moni village and see the traditional houses at Kowana.
Komodo
Island
Komodo Island is one of the
17,508 islands that make up the Republic of Indonesia. The island is particularly notable as the natural habitat of the komodo dragon,
the largest lizard on earth and consequently named after the island. Komodo
Island has a surface area of 390 km² and a permanent population of over
2,000. The inhabitants of the island are descendants of former convicts who
were exiled to the island and who have mixed with Bugis from Sulawesi. The
population are primarily adherents of Islam but there are also Christian and Hindu congregations. Komodo is part of the Lesser Sunda chain of islands and forms part of the Komodo National Park. In addition, the island is a popular
destination for diving. Administratively, it is part of the East Nusa Tenggara Province.
The Komodo Island is part of the Komodo
National Park, which includes a cluster of small islands located between Flores
and Sumbawa. Komodo island and a few of the surrounding island are home to the
pre-historic Komodo, The Giant Lizard Dragon whose existence was not known
until 1912. Modest accommodation facilities are available for visitors.From
Sumbawa island we will get 6 hours cruise to Komodo Island. Fishermen boat is
made of solid teakwood, equipped with radio navigation, electricity, simple
toilet, life jackets and one big cabin with 6-2 beds and mattrasses. We could
walk about 1,5 km to Waingalung to see a large concentration of this giant
monitor lizards. The Scientifically described in 1912 as “Varanus Komodoensis”.
And this Komodo Dragon Lizards could grow to
a length of 3 to 4 meters length and weight about 150 to 170 kilograms. Live on
carrions, deers and even carccases of
their own. In Rinca island we could see the natural habitat of the Giant
Lizards or Komodo Dragons and the natural prey of the Komodos ; water buffaloes, horses and
deers run wild. But we could swim or snorkel on the sea surrounding the islands
offers vistas of sea life, crystal clear water and white sandy beaches.The
earliest stories of a dragon existing in the region circulated widely and
attracted considerable attention. But no one visited the island to check the
story until official interest was sparked in the early 1910s by stories from
Dutch sailors based in Flores about a mysterious creature. The
creature was allegedly a "dragon" which inhabited a small island in
the Lesser Sunda Islands (the main island of which is Flores in East Nusa Tenggara).
The Dutch sailors reported
that the creature measured up to seven meters in length with a large body and
mouth which constantly spat fire. Hearing the reports, Lieutenant Steyn van
Hensbroek, an official of the Dutch Colonial Administration in Flores, planned
a trip to Komodo Island. He armed himself, and accompanied by a team of
soldiers he landed on the island. After a few days, Hensbroek managed to kill
one of the strange animals. Van Hensbroek took the animal to headquarters where
measurements were taken. It was approximately 2.1 meters long, with a shape
very similar to that of a lizard. More samples were then photographed by Peter
A. Ouwens, the Director of the Zoological Museum and Botanical Gardens in Bogor, Java. The records that Ouwens made
are the first reliable documentation of details about what is now called the Komodo dragon
or Komodo monitor.
Komodo National Park
It’s located between
the islands of Sumbawa and Flores in the Lesser Sunda Islands, at a distance of
200 nautical miles to the east of Bali. It has a total land area of 75,000
hectares and encompasses a number of islands, the largest of which are Komodo
(34,000 hectares), Rinca (20,000 hectares), Padar, Nusa Kode,
Motang, numerous smaller islands, and the Wae Wuul sanctuary on Flores. A total
of 112,500 hectares of the surrounding waters are also under the jurisdiction
of the park rangers.
Komodo National Park has widely known with
the home of the giant lizard Komodo Dragon - which has
just declare to be one of the latest heritage of the
world. Explore the under water live and its ecosystems which has well known as
the best diving site in the world. From beautiful coral, reefs, thousands sort of fishes to the crystal water and beautiful beach are
await to visit. Komodo dragons live in one of the
driest area in Indonesia, where there are few permanent water sources. The mix
vegetation of Komodo National Park provides habitat and shade for different animals of the park. There are 254 plants species from Asian
and Australian origin. Komodo dragons are carnivores and do not eat any of the
vegetation. However, the main prey of Komodo dragon, such as deer and will
boar, feed on various leaves, fruit, flowers, roots and grasses found in the
park.
Most of the Park is dry, rugged and hilly, a
combination of ancient volcanic eruptions and more recent tectonic uplift of
sedimentary seabeds. The irregular coastline is indented with rocky headlands
and sandy bays, many framed by soaring volcanic cliffs.Komodo island is 35km
long and 15km wide, and is mountainous on a north to south axis, with an
average altitude of 500-600m. The highest peak is Satalibo (735m) in the north.
Most of the island is lontar palm savannah with
remnates of rainforest and bamboo forest at higher elevations. On Rinca the land rises gradually from the north coast to a plateau
that ends at Mount Dora (667m) in the south. The rugged south coast is very
sheer as a result of volcanic activity in the distant past, as evidenced by the
crater bay in which Nusa Kode nestles.
Komodo National Park is a national asset and
it has received technical assistance to manage it to international standards.
It has been declared by UNESCO as both a Natural World Heritage Site and a
Biosphere Reserve. This Park is frequently visited by international tourists,
who often describe it as being like another world. Open plains stretch as far
as the eye can see, with the silhouette of occasional fan palms standing out
starkly against a background of mountains.The komodo dragon (varanus komodoensis) is the
largest living lizard in the world, growing over three meters in length, with
adults often weighing in excess of 160 kg. The dragon lives only on Komodo and
neighboring islands. It is a carnivore the feeds on both live prey and carrion,
with their main diet including Sunda deer, wild boar, birds, reptile eggs and
other small animals.
Besides the Komodo dragon, the Park is also a habitat for deer (Cervus
timorensis floresiensis), wild pig (Sus scrofa), Asian wild dog (Cuon alpinus
javanicus), wild horse (Equus qaballus), wild buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), dugong
(Dugong dugon); 259 species of coral and 1,000 species of fish, 6 species of
whale, 10 species of dolphin, as well as turtles and several species of snake,
birds and sharks. The most famous tourist attraction in Flores is Kelimutu;
three colored lakes in the district of Ende and close to the town of Moni.
These crater lakes are in the caldera of a volcano, and fed by a volcanic gas
source, resulting in highly acid water. The colored lakes change colors on an
irregular basis, depending on the oxidation state of the lake, from bright red
through green and blue. The latest colors (late 2004) were said to be
turquoise, brown and black.
Flores Island
Flores island, the exotic
place least visited by the foreigner. It is worth to visit the destination. It
has strong ethnic touch with typical tribal work of civilization, more people
still influenced by the animistic beliefs. The nature settings are so
beautiful, there are soaring volcanoes, colored crater lakes, forests,
beautiful sea gardens with white sands beaches, and prehistoric Giant animals
too. Flores is a big, rugged remarkably beautiful island .Dominated by a string
of volcanoes, the long impenetrable terrain has divided the island into many distinct
ethnic groups. There are interesting cultures here, with layers of traditional
beliefs beneath the prevalent Christianity.
Flores owes its name to the
Portuguese, who called its eastern most Cape Cabo Das Flores, meaning Cape of
Flowers. The island diverse cultures have enough similarities to suggest that
they developed from common ancestry, differentia led by geographical isolation
and varying influence of outsiders. Long before Europeans arrived in the 16
century, much of coastal Flores was firmly in the hands of the Makasarnese and
Bugis from southern Celebes (Sulawesi). As early 1512, Flores was sighted by
the Portuguese navigator Antonio de Abreu and Europeans had probably landed by
1550. The Portuguese involved in the lucrative Sandalwood trade with Timor,
built Fortresses on Pulau Solor ( Solor island ) eastern of Flores Island .and
at Pulau Ende ( Ende island ) south coast of central of Flores. In 1561
Dominican Priests established a mission on Pulau Solor. Christianity was a
successful import and today a church is the centerpiece of almost every
village. In the 17 century, the Dutch kicked the Portuguese out of Flores.
Ternate and Gowa ( a part of Molluceas island ) also ceded all their rights on
Solor, Flores and eastern Sumbawa to the Dutch, giving them nominal control,
but it was too complex and isolated to rule effectively. Around 1850 the Dutch
purchased Portugal’s remaining enclaves in the area, including Larantuka ,
Sikka and Paga. Even into the first decade of the 20th century, the Dutch were
constantly confronted with rebellions and inter – tribal wars. Unrest continued
until a major military campaign in 1907 subdued most of the tribes of central
and western Flores. Missionaries moved into the isolated western hills in the
1920’s. Flores is holding its breath for provincial statues . This will be a
huge development for the island, as it is currently under the jurisdiction of
Kupang and the Nusa Tenggara Timor (NTT) government and has only limited
control over its affairs.
