West Manggarai

West Manggarai encompasses western Flores island and several surrounding islands, including Komodo and Rinca, with Labuan Bajo serving as its capital.

The regency emerged through administrative division in February 2003, separating from the original Manggarai Regency to form a distinct territorial entity.

The indigenous Manggarai people maintain their traditions through various dialects including Pae, Mabai, Rejong, and Mbaen, forming a diverse linguistic landscape.

Visitors access the regency through Labuan Bajo, which functions as the primary gateway for exploring Komodo National Park and surrounding marine sanctuaries.

The Sano Nggoang volcanic crater lake reaches depths of 600 meters, establishing itself as the deepest formation of its category globally.
