Kabawo Lambohogo

Facts

Bagging It!

This is the highest point on the island of Buton/Butung and may be best known as Kabawo Wani. Published elevations of 1,190m seem unlikely – probably under 1,100m. The Bakosurtanal map suggests a height of 1,063m and lists a lower peak around 2 kilometres to the north-east as being called Kabawo Wani with a heigh of 778m, which is probably the source of the name ‘Gunung Wani’. It is a karst mountain and home to rare Anoa cattle.

Practicalities

    • Getting there: As this is in the north of the island, probably better getting a boat over from Sulawesi mainland than heading overland all the way up from Bau Bau. The trail apparently starts in Labuan near the north coast. Via Kendari city to the Amolengo (Kolono) ferry port (approximately 2 hours) then cross the Buton Strait by ferry to Labuan (45 minutes). Then head to Labuan Village which is the starting point of the climb.
    • Accommodation: Unknown, presume village accommodation is available on an informal basis.
    • Permits: Available from Labuan Village and North Wakorumba Police in Labuan
    • Water sources: A small river near to the trail.
Local Average Monthly Rainfall (mm): wangiwangi

  1. untuk mendaki Gunung Wani dapat melalui Kota Kendari dengan kendaraan roda 4 atau roda 2 menuju pelabuhan fery Amolengo (kolono) dgn jarak tempuh kurang lebih 2 jam, kemudian melintasi Selat Buton dengan kapal fery menuju Labuan selama 45menit. Kemudian menuju Desa Labuan yang merupakan titik awal pendakian. Untuk perizinan dapat melalui pemerintah Lokal yaitu Desa Labuan dan Polsek Wakorumba Utara di Labuan. Sumber air saat pendakian yaitu sungai kecil sepanjang pendakian atau menadah air hujan

  2. Pada peta topografi keluaran BIG tertulis Kabawo Lahambogo yang sebenarnya adalah Kabawo Wani (1063m). Kami telah melakukan survey tahun 2003 di sekitar Labuan terhadap warga disana. Mereka mengatakan bahwa gunung tertinggi adalah Kabawo Wani. Kami juga telah naik sampai ke puncak Wani dari Labuan di tahun tersebut. Gunung Wani termasuk gunung kars yang masih alami. Vegetasi masih rapat dan rumah bagi Anoa (sapi hutan Sulawesi) dataran rendah
