Ende

Ende is an administrative regency in East Nusa Tenggara located on Flores Island, stretching across hilly terrain with coastlines on both its northern and southern sides. The region divides into twenty-one districts, each containing several villages with their own local administrative centers.

This area received its current administrative structure following the establishment of East Nusa Tenggara province in 1958. This reorganization marked a significant reshaping of territorial boundaries in the region.

The people here maintain traditional weaving practices and ceremonies, with Christian influences blending into local customs over many generations. This mix shapes daily life and celebrations throughout the villages.

Visitors will find administrative centers in each district that serve as orientation points and provide local information. Getting around between villages requires local transportation and knowledge of road conditions.

Kelimutu National Park within this regency contains three crater lakes whose water colors shift throughout the year. The different color tones result from mineral compositions and create an unusual natural display.
