Ramelau Sunrise Trek

Duration: two days/one night. This is for those that need a little effort and adventure with their tour. You’re going to climb Timor-Leste’s highest peak. Whilst it’s a walk up a reasonably well-formed path with some washouts to navigate you won’t need a map, but you will need a decent level of fitness, and you will need to come prepared with torch and wind-proof, weather-proof clothing and drinking water. It can even freeze occasionally at the summit. You could get wind, fog or rain. Or all three. Or you more likely will be rewarded with a stunning sunrise and views over the many ridges and ranges and on down to the ocean on both sides of Timor.
Suitable for those with a good level of fitness. The climb (in the dark, so you can get there before sunrise) is from the Ramelau Sanctuary at around 2000m to the summit at 2900m (or nearly 10,000 feet in Old Money) and most people will reach the Summit in between 1.5 and 2.5 hours with a one hour return to your vehicle at the Sanctuary carpark.
