Description

Golo Pepak is a low hill at the western tip of Flores, in West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, lying only about 5 km south of the tourist town of Labuan Bajo. In the Manggarai language "golo" means hill or mountain — a very common naming prefix for peaks across the Manggarai region (compare Golo Mori, Golo Depet, Golo Nawang); the meaning of "Pepak" itself could not be verified and is not asserted here. The feature is documented only through the NGA-GNS geographic database and its derivatives: Wikidata (Q25324022), GeoNames (ID 7378584), a single bot-generated Cebuano Wikipedia stub, and OpenStreetMap node 1070155236 (tagged natural=peak). Its elevation is only about 81 m with a prominence of roughly 56 m above the surrounding terrain — an estimate from digital elevation models (SRTM/DEM) rather than a field survey; Wikidata, OSM, and GeoNames list no surveyed figure. The area has a hot, dry savanna climate with strongly seasonal rainfall (peaking in December, a sharp dry spell around September). No official hiking trail, tourism coverage, news record, or climbing account could be found for this specific hill, and no free-licensed photograph of the peak itself is available.
