How to reach the crater
There are some choice to reach the
crater or caldera of Mount Tambora:
-
Start the trip using airplane
from Mataram to Bima (35 minutes), continued from
Bima by car to Doropeti on south side of Tambora to
the location of Volcano observation (5 hours).
-
by car from Mataram to Kayangan
Port and cross to Alas with Ferry until Pototano
Port. Then continue to Doropeti (15 hours).
To reach the lips of caldera, the
climbing activities can be done from many side, such as:
-
From west, Calabai village and
Pancasila village until west Caldera, this is
general way, it needs 2-3 days.
-
From North, Kawind nae village
untill north Caldera, it is shorter and fast from
the forest but it is climb from the beginning until
the top of the mountain.
-
From the noth-west, Doropeti
vellage to the east untill west caldera and north
west calseera. It is pass the woods where there are
“jelatang” or “maladi” , the plant which hurt our
skin when it touched.
-
From south, Doropeti, 12 km to
east. It will pass the road to the north and
climbing from PT. BA palantation until south
caldera, with one day trip. This way is passing the
dry savanna. But if we use car we can reach until
1200 mdpl in 3 hours, then continued on foot in 3-4
hours. (Heryadi & Iqbal, Mount Fire,West Nusa
