Bagging It!
The last major eruption was in the early 1980s. The nearest town is Larantuka but it is not clear if there is a hiking route.
Practicalities
| Getting there | Larantuka is 3 hours by car from Maumere. |
|---|---|
| Accommodation | There are several hotels/losmen in Larantuka but a much better selection in Maumere. |
| Permits | None required but take a photocopy of your passport photo page just incase. |
| Water sources | Take sufficient supplies with you. |
Location
Origins and Meaning
‘Mandiri’ means independent or autonomous in Javanese. So, “Independent Mountain” might be a reasonable translation.
There’s a recent thread on the Lonely Planet forum with a few bits of advice on peaks around the Larantuka area – but none (as yet) on Mandiri itself!
