Description

Golo Mangkes is a minor forested hill on Flores Island in Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, roughly 20 km north of Ruteng. In the Manggarai language "golo" means mountain or hill — a common toponym pattern in the region (compare Golo Lusang, Golo Mori, Golo Likang); the meaning of "Mangkes" itself could not be verified and is not asserted here. The name appears only in gazetteer-derived data: the NGA-GNS geographic names database (via OpenStreetMap node 1070155176), Wikidata (Q26729568), GeoNames (7570504), and a single bot-generated Cebuano Wikipedia stub. Its elevation is about 355 m — an estimate from a digital elevation model (DEM/SRTM) fed through GeoNames rather than a field survey; Wikidata lists no comparison figure. No hiking documentation, trail, news record, or park/government coverage could be found for this hill; the available data is limited to its name, coordinates, and classification as a mountain.
