Description

Tolong Kolo is a summit/hill in the central highlands of Flores Island, Ngada Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province (Nusa Tenggara Timur), Indonesia. Its summit lies at roughly 968–974 m above sea level: the GeoNames database (from the NGA-GNS model) records about 974 m, some 101 m above the surrounding terrain with a base about 1.6 km wide, while the Copernicus digital-elevation model (via Open-Meteo) reads about 968 m at its coordinates. The surrounding land is generally hilly and almost entirely forested, sparsely populated (~16 people/km²), with a tropical savanna climate — the warmest month is around October and annual rainfall is about 1,686 mm concentrated early in the year. The nearest higher point (unnamed, about 1,101 m) lies only some 1.6 km to the southeast. Tolong Kolo is verified as a named peak in the NGA-GNS database, OpenStreetMap, and Wikidata (Q26727022), but there is no dedicated Indonesian/English encyclopedia article about it, no verified climbing or expedition record, and no free-licensed photograph. All measured figures trace back to the NGA-GNS/GeoNames geospatial database and so are not independent field corroboration; the elevation values are model estimates, not survey measurements.
