Wangga Meti, Stratovolcano in East Sumba Regency, Indonesia.

Wangga Meti stands at 1,225 meters as the highest peak on Sumba Island, featuring dense forest cover and multiple river sources.

The mountain area contains numerous megalithic tombs and stone carvings that document the long-standing presence of early Sumba inhabitants.

Local communities maintain traditional hunting practices for wild pigs and deer while following the ancestral Marapu belief system.

The seven-kilometer trail from the forest entrance to the summit requires approximately six hours for a round trip through marked paths.

The mountain supports seven bird species found nowhere else, making it a primary location for ornithological research in Eastern Indonesia.
