Mt Ramelau

Reviewed By Stevens_Fiji - East Timor, null

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". A definite "must do" activity for anyone up to the challenge. Overall, the trip from Dili to Hatu Builico was about three and a half hours cruising along the long and winding road, enjoying the scenery and also a pit stop at Maubisse. The climb was a couple of hours from the Base (Sanctuary) taking stops along the trail to soak in the natural surroundings. Upon reaching the summit, the 360 degrees view is awesome, as you stand upon the 2,986 meters mountain, deemed the highest in Timor-Leste (East Timor) and also on the island of Timor. Recommended to take a guide along; keep to the tracks; and enjoy the journey (it is not only physical toughness but also mental preparedness that will sustain you). An experience not to be missed. #MountRamelau #TataMaiLau #FohoTatamailau #Timor-Leste #EastTimor #HauNiaTimorLeste
