Timbounou, Summit in New Caledonia, France.

Timbounou is a summit in New Caledonia rising about 42 meters above sea level. Paths wind through thick vegetation, opening onto views of the surrounding Pacific landscape.

This location became part of French colonial territory in New Caledonia from 1853 onward. The French presence shaped how the island's geography and settlements developed over time.

Local Kanak communities recognize elevated places through traditional stories that connect them to the land. These narratives shape how people relate to the landscape around them.

Reach this place by local roads from nearby settlements, with the dry season from September through December offering the best conditions. During these months the trails are in better shape and weather is more favorable for a visit.

This location marks a documented geographical point in the northern region of New Caledonia. Its position has relevance for mapping and understanding the island's layout.
