Description

Nuaf Lelokase ("nuaf" means mountain or hill in Uab Meto, or Dawan, the language spoken on Timor Island) is a hill about 221 m above sea level in East Nusa Tenggara Province, in the western part of Timor Island, roughly 1,900 km east of Jakarta. The surrounding land is varied, with the sea being the nearest body of water to the north-west; the nearest higher point reaches about 688 m and lies roughly 1 km to the south. The area is sparsely populated (around 16 people/km²), and the nearest larger town is Naisano Dua, about 18.7 km to the south-west. Vegetation is dominated by scrub and grassland under a tropical savanna climate: mean temperature about 22 °C (warmest in October at ~26 °C, coolest in February at ~20 °C) and annual rainfall around 1,964 mm, wettest in February and driest in August. Data for this feature is very limited and drawn from topographic databases (GeoNames/SRTM) and Wikidata—no climbing route is recorded, and the information here is deliberately confined to verified facts.
