A Journey To Dompu And Mount Tambora
The journey to the town of Dompu,
can we go through the journey overland from the city of Sumbawa, a distance of
about - some nearly 200 km towards east, as Dompu town located in the eastern
part of Sumbawa Island. To get there, some alternative vehicles could be used
from the town of Sumbawa Besar, for example using the Bus majors Dompu - Bima,
or use of personal vehicles either by car or motorbike. When in away, you will be treated to a rather
beautiful scenery, winding roads and mountainous twists and turns - the
mountain, especially after the came out town of Sumbawa, for example, after
entering the Empang District, you can find seaside scenery backgrounds Panjang
Island and Mount Tambora in the distance. Before entering the border town of
Dompu, you will be treated to beautiful scenery and the winding road - winding,
especially in the Nangatumpu area.
After you enter the town of
Dompu, the city can you feel, almost like the city of Sumbawa Besar. If you use
the vehicle bus, you will stop first at the Terminal Tente, after it had
continued to east area another example towards Bima. To continue the journey to
Mount Tambora, we can stop first at the Pancasila village, there we took a
break over coffee Tambora, or maybe visiting the Beringin Jaya village, which

very widespread where - where, even the dust reaches the European continent,
thus affecting climate and weather in Europe at that time.
