Ramelau

Mt. Ramelau, Timor-tallest Leste's summit at 2963 meters and the roof of Central Timor, is a must-see for hikers. The sunrise over Timor-Leste is a spectacle not to be missed from the summit. The journey begins with a three-hour tough rise from Hato Builico, a highland town (at 1900 meters). Hiring a local guide for the trek is suggested, since it may be coupled with a visit to the surrounding hills, as well as nearby secluded ethnic settlements and religious places.

The top of the mountain is marked with a 3m-high statue of the Virgin Mary, which plays a significant part in Timorese culture and worship. Every year on the 7th of October, Timorese from all across the country gather here to thank God and think positive thoughts.
