Desember, Garuda Buka Rute Baru ke Labuan Bajo, Ende dan Tambolaka Menggunakan ATR

Garuda Indonesia berencana membuka rute baru yang menghubungkan antara Bandara Ngurah Rai Denpasar dengan kota-kota di Nusa Tenggara Timur, seperti Labuan Bajo, Ende dan Tambolaka. Ini dilakukan Garuda untuk mendukung potensi wisata di kawasan tersebut, di antaranya Taman Nasional Komodo, objek wisata Batu Cermin dan lainnya.

“Pada awal Desember 2013 kami akan melakukan penerbangan perdana dari Bandara Internasional Ngurah Rai, Bali, ke Bandara Komodo, Labuan Bajo dan Ende pergi pulang setiap hari,” kata Vice Presiden Domestic Regional-3 Jawa, Bali & Nusa Tenggara PT Garuda Indonesia Ari Suryanta di Labuan Bajo Nusa Tenggara Timur yang dilansir Republika Online, Rabu (30/10/2013). 

“Seiring potensi penerbangan yang semakin meningkat tersebut, maka kami akan memberikan pelayanan lebih berkualitas dibanding dengan maskapai lainnya yang selama ini sudah melayani rute tersebut,” kata Ari Suryanta yang didampingi General Manager PT Garuda Indonesia Cabang Bali Taufik Hidayat. 

Menurut Surya, penerbangan perdana ke tiga destinasi itu rencananya akan dilakukan pada 3 Desember 2013 dengan menggunakan pesawat turboprop ATR 72-600 berkapasitas 70 kursi dan diharapkan bisa meningkatkan kunjungan wisatawan lokal dan asing, khususnya ke Kabupaten Manggarai Barat. “Kami berkeyakinan dengan Garuda Indonesia terbang menjelajah ke wilayah Manggarai Barat, wisatawan nusantara dan asing akan semakin meningkat, sebab panorama yang eksotik sangat digemari wisatawan asing,” ujarnya. 

Sementara itu, Wakil Bupati Manggarai Barat Maximus Gasa mengatakan, saat ini memang sudah ada beberapa maskapai penerbangan yang melayani rute penerbangan dari Bali ke Labuan Bajo. Namun menurutnya hal itu belum memberikan kepuasan yang maksimal kepada penumpang. “Kami yakin Garuda akan memberi pelayanan yang memuaskan, dan kami sangat mendukung langkah pihak perusahaan penerbangan ini untuk mengembangkan penerbangan ke daerah-daerah di wilayah Tanah Air yang selama ini belum terjangkau penerbangan Garuda,” kata Maximus.

Travel to Ende, Flores, Kelimutu, Village

Ende is the largest town in Flores and is deemed to be the most important with its harbor serving other destinations around the archipelago. For the tourist, travelling to Ende can be a necessary transit onto Kelimutu. The town of Ende isn’t too appealing as it is a very hot and dusty place with it being situated at sea level. That being said there are black sandy beaches that you can explore to the east and west of the town. If you find yourself here for a few days waiting on a ferry or an aeroplane, it can be accommodating.

Ende was also the victim of the devastating earthquake that hit just north of Maumere in 1992 and the population is still somewhat shaken by the whole experience. Life has resumed at the normal pace but you can still see buildings that were damaged by the earthquake.

Ende’s real claim to fame is that president Sukarno was exiled here in 1933 and his house has been turned into a museum of sorts with original furniture and photos still in place. There is no charge to gain access to the museum and it can be an interesting visit to step back into the Indonesian 1930’s. The museum can be found on Jalan Perwira, which is located around 250 meters from the harbor.

If you find yourself staying overnight in Ende then it is highly recommended that you visit the bustling nightmarket that can be found just outside the centre on Jalan Kelimutu. The market really comes to life after sunset and you will find yourself walking around various stalls of exotic produce by candlelight. Apart from the daily food essentials, the market is supplemented with many food stalls where you can taste some local delights and chat with the locals sharing stories about food and history.

Due to Ende’s proximity to the sea and its sheltered bay, it can become very hot in this town. It is rare to have a sea breeze and the dust can be quite annoying at times. To escape this, the best options are to head inland or west along the coastal road and discover one of many weaving villages. Ngella is a village around 30 km from Ende is very popular amongst locals and tourists alike. The fabric that is weaved here is regarded as some of the best in Flores and the prices can be a little expensive. The women of the village are hard bargainers so be prepared to bow down and accept her best price! The easiest way to get to Ngella is to take a Bemo from Wolowaru bus terminal in Ende. Another option is Wolotopo that is located just 7km from Ende. This village is not as frequented as Ngella so you can expect the fabrics to be cheaper. A very interesting option onwards from Wolotopo is the village of Ngalupolo where you can actually spend the night. It is a fantastic opportunity to gain an insight into the village life of Flores. If you have the time, it is well worth the trip.

You won’t find any high-end hotels in Ende however you will find numerous losman all offering a bed and basic amenities. Most of these Losmen can be found on the road to the airport.

Most people are here to move on to other places in Flores and the most popular destination is Kelimutu. It is easy to travel to Kelimutu from Ende. Make your way to the Wolowana bus terminal. There you will find buses departing to Moni from 6am through to 2pm. Be careful the bus conductor doesn’t charge you the full cost of a fare to Maumere. If you are heading to Labuan Bajo, buses are frequent and generally depart around 7am.

It is possible to travel to Kupang in West Timor from Ende by Ferry. The most regular ferry is Pelni and usually stops by Ende twice a week. If your timing is right then Roti and Savu are also on the timetable. The irregularities of the timings of ferries can be quite frustrating so it is best that you find an agent in town where this person will have updated schedules and can also sell you a ticket.

40 Komodo Dragons Living in Flores Island

East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Natural Resource Conservation Center (BBKSDA) estimates that more than 40 Komodo dragons are living outside the province’s national park in West Manggarai regency.

The agency found Komodo dragons in the sanctuaries of Wae Wuul, Wolo Tadho and Riung in Ngada regency, and in the bays of Nangalili, Watu-Manuk, Ende and Maumere.

“Local people have also reported seeing Komodo dragons in Nampar Sempang village in East Manggarai,” the BBKSDA's head, Wiratno, said on Saturday.

“The Komodo Survival Program has found 28 dragons so far,” he says.

In August, operators from the Wolo Tadho Sanctuary caught a male dragon, which has now been moved to Ontoloe Island. The dragon weighs 24.4 kilograms, is 136 centimeters long and has visible wounds on its back, face and tail.

Medical teams from the conservation center and national park are treating the animal with antibiotics, anti-stress medication and vitamins.

Ontoloe Island is a Komodo dragon habitat located far from civilians, to avoid conflicts with local people. It is approximately twice the size of a soccer pitch, and is located near the Wolo Tadho Sanctuary.

“There are lots of animals for the Komodo to eat on the island, like wild boar, monkeys, deer and forest chickens,” Wiratno said.

A team will also be dispatched next week to search for several dragons that allegedly escaped from their natural habitat in Sambi Rampas district, East Manggarai regency. Local people say the Komodos might have escaped due to a road-building project, for which explosives had been used.

The agency is planning to conserve the rare dragons outside national parks, having surveyed some habitats in the sanctuaries of Wolo Tadho, Riung and Ontoloe Island, using the 2012 regional budget. The study will continue until 2013.

 

“The survey involves the Forest Protection and Natural Conservation Directorate General, the regional administration and civil society organizations,” he said.
