Description

Olat Aikolong is a forested hill in the south-western part of Sumbawa Island, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. In the Sumbawa language (Basa Samawa) the word "olat" means hill or mountain — a very common naming prefix for peaks across Sumbawa (compare Olat Batuguring, Olat Pulubatu, Olat Desa); the meaning of "Aikolong" 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 (Q25277896), GeoNames (ID 6984541), a single bot-generated Cebuano Wikipedia stub, and OpenStreetMap node 1070155439 (tagged natural=peak). Its elevation is about 467 m above sea level, but with a prominence of only about 64 m above the surrounding terrain and a base width of roughly 0.7 km — estimates from digital elevation models (SRTM/DEM) rather than a field survey; the hill is thus a small rise on already-elevated ground rather than a free-standing peak. The surroundings are hilly and almost entirely forest-covered; the nearest higher point is Olat Pulubatu (about 603 m) some 2.2 km to the north-west. The area has a savanna climate with an average temperature of around 22 °C, the warmest month being October (~24 °C) and the coolest around July. Population density around it is low. 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.
