Mount Matebean Mane, Mountain summit in Baucau region, Timor-Leste.
Mount Matebean Mane rises to 2,372 meters above sea level, featuring limestone formations and steep slopes covered with eucalyptus groves and gardens.
The mountain provided shelter for East Timorese resistance fighters during the Indonesian occupation from 1975 to 1999, with numerous caves serving as hideouts.
The name Matebean translates to 'Spirits of the Dead' in local language, as residents believe the mountain serves as a resting place for departed souls.
The optimal climbing period spans from August to October, when cloud coverage remains minimal and visibility extends across the surrounding landscapes.
A small chapel and statue of Christ mark the summit, where annual gatherings take place for religious ceremonies among local communities.
