Description

Mbotu Woropeti is a low hill in the central part of East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia, on Flores island, at roughly 8.783°S 121.461°E — about 1,600 km east of Jakarta. According to digital-elevation-model (DEM) data compiled by the GeoNames/NGA-GNS geographic database, its summit stands about 211 m above sea level with a local prominence of only about 29 m above the surrounding terrain and a base width of about 0.09 km — making it a knoll rather than a mountain. The surrounding land is generally hilly but flattens toward the southeast, with the sea being the nearest feature to the south. The nearest higher point is Mbotu Ndorurea (about 461 m), some 2.2 km to the northeast. The area is sparsely populated with a savanna climate: mean temperature about 24 °C (hottest October ~27 °C, coldest February ~22 °C) and annual rainfall around 1,520 mm concentrated in the wet season (wettest February ~287 mm, driest September ~5 mm). The "mbotu" prefix recurs in several hill toponyms across central Flores. No hiking trail, tourism coverage, or specific local record could be found for this hill; this profile is compiled from open geographic databases, and its data limitations are stated plainly.
