Gunung Legiggar

Getting there: There is a small new airport in Kabir in the northern part of the island, on the west side. From Baranusa it’s nearly 40km up an asphalt road (at least an hour, maybe 2 hours). This little airport sees regional flights, though realistically most visitors are likely to arrive by boat from the neighbouring islands of Alor or Lembata. From the west, take the ferry from Wairiang, Lembata, to Baranusa, Pantar (timetable unknown in 2025 but charters will usually be possible). It is 40 minutes by ojek from Baranusa to Kakamauta. From the east, there is a daily boat at 6am from Kalabahi to Baranusa (6 hours, Rp50,000) which may not leave until well after 7am. A group may prefer to charter a boat from Alor Kecil to Bakalang (1 hour, Rp300,000) or Tamakh (2 hours, considerably more than Rp300,000). Bakalang to Alikallang is around 2-2.5 hours by motorbike and Tamakh to Mauta is around 1 hour. Note there is a modern road between Mauta and Baranusa, should you be staying or travelling that way.
Guides and GPS Tracks: Want a PDF version for your phone? Looking for a guide? Need GPS tracks and waypoints? Gunung Legiggar and Gunung Sirung information pack can be downloaded here.
Permits: Not required, although you are strongly advised to take a local guide (from the same village you start in). Delaki is the best for Legiggar, and Alikallang is recommended for Sirung. See notes above on which months are difficult to access the crater from Mauta. Guides typically Rp100,000 for the short trek to the Sirung crater rim, often with a donation to the village added on.
Water sources: None available on the usual routes. Take enough of your own and don’t expect remote villages to have shops.
