Top Attractions in Dompu
💡 Visit after sunset when the street food stalls set up. Try the pisang goreng (fried banana) from the lady on the east side. Bring a mat to sit on the grass.
💡 Dress modestly (long sleeves and trousers or a sarong). You can ask at the office for a short tour. Best visited around 4pm when the light is nice for photos.
💡 The path can be slippery after rain. Best visited in the dry season (April–October). Bring insect repellent and a towel. No entrance fee, but a small donation to the local caretaker is appreciated.
💡 Bring your own food and water. There is a basic warung but supplies run out. Best in early morning before the wind picks up.
💡 Go just after sunrise for the clearest air, before clouds build up. A local guide may offer to take you closer for a small fee but the free viewpoint is good enough.
