East Manggarai

East Manggarai is an administrative region on Flores island characterized by mountainous terrain and scattered settlements. The area includes multiple districts organized under a central administration based in Borong.

The region was established as an independent regency in 2007 following the division of the original Manggarai territory. This administrative separation allowed for more localized governance of the area.

Local communities practice traditional Manggarai customs in daily life and during local celebrations. These traditions shape how people gather and make decisions together in villages.

Access to different parts of the region requires traveling through mountainous areas with varying road conditions. Visitors should prepare for weather changes, especially during rainy seasons.

The region contains natural hot springs and rare water lilies in different local areas that visitors often pass by without noticing. These natural features reveal the diverse landscapes found across the territory.
