Located on Sumbawa Island, West Nusa Tenggara, Mount Tambora plays an important role in the world's geological history. This mountain is proof of how powerful natural forces have changed the earth's climate in the past.
Hello Traveler friends at ZOYALINK! Before its violent eruption in 1815, Tambora was estimated to be more than 4,000 meters above sea level. Currently the peak height is 2,851 meters above sea level, leaving behind a giant caldera 7 kilometers wide.
The Tambora Caldera is known as one of the largest in the world. Standing on the edge of this giant crater gives you a sensation of extraordinary natural grandeur, where you can see the bottom of a very deep crater complete with sturdy rock cliffs.
The journey to the top of Tambora presents a very varied landscape. Climbers will cross a dense tropical forest area before finally being greeted by a very wide expanse of grass savanna typical of the Nusa Tenggara plains.
One popular way to explore the beauty of Tambora is to use an off-road vehicle or motorbike to some extent before continuing the climb on foot. This route provides an exciting and different natural exploring experience.
The air temperature in the savanna area and Tambora peak can be very hot during the day, but drops sharply when night falls. The limited water supply along the route required very careful logistical planning.
Mount Tambora offers a tour package of geological history, the splendor of the caldera, and the exotic nature of Nusa Tenggara in one trip. This place always manages to attract the hearts of true adventurers.
