Gunung Mbeliling

Gunung Mbeliling is the westernmost significant mountain on the island of Flores. Probably because of its proximity to Labuan Bajo – where many tourists stay before or after visiting Komodo island – a Mbeliling hike has in recent years become part of the ecotourism options available to visitors to West Flores and has featured prominently in tourism literature for the area.

GUNUNG SEMPANA

Given their close proximity to the huge Gunung Rinjani, the grassy mountains to the east of Sembalun are easy to overlook.
