Gunung Wanggameti

Getting there: The closest airport is in Waingapu – about 3-4 hours’ drive from the base of the mountain and with daily flights to/from Denpasar. Given the size of Sumba, many people prefer to either land or leave in West Sumba at Tambolaka so that they can tour the island’s many fascinating traditional villages and pristine beaches over the course of a few days. From Waingapu, the bumpy road leads inland to Tanarara (2 or 2 and a half hours from Waingapu) at which point you will probably have to ask for directions at the junctions for the remaining 1 or 1 and a half hour drive. For car hire in Tambolaka, try Pak Erman (0821 46986564) who works for Sinar Tambolaka Hotel (0812 3816183) and knows the way to Wanggameti, or alternatively try another car hire place 0852 39535387.

Permits: Not officially required, but you may wish to speak to Laiwangi Wanggameti National Park staff in advance (try the informative Pak Tri Wiyanto via http://www.tawuiresort.org/ or 0812 87105300) or search for their little office somewhere well-hidden near Tanarara. Local guides can be found in Desa Wanggameti near the mountain.
Water sources: None on the actual trail, especially during the dry season, so bring enough with you from Waingapu. The last place for very basic snacks and drinks is effectively Tanarara.
