Timor Leste South Coast motorbike tour: Same - Viqueque - Watulari - Iliomar - Lospalos
Wow it was a real adventure. The least populated and the most infested with crocs South Coast of Timor Leste boasts the worst roads in the country, best people and most secluded areas without a single person nearby.
I was warned that if my bike gets broken there's no chance to get out of the south coast, but it's not quite true. Although the traffic is really very scarce in comparison with North Coast (Baucau, Liquica, Dili), there are trucks passing once in a while. And there are villages on the way. I had a flat tire once and managed to find a new one and people with instruments who changed it for me.
The biggest challenge in the districts is food. There are very few places where you can have good hot freshly cooked food. Your only option might often be instant noodles PopMie.

Lekiraka (Reki Raka) caves in Loihuno, Viqueque district in Timor Leste
To get to these caves you have to go from Venilale towards Viqueque. Soon after Ossu you'll see a roadside sign pointing left to Wailakurini Village Hotel. Then turn left and go up in the mountains passing by the hotel and following the main road. It's hard to get lost there. Then just ask locals to show you the house where lives the man responsible for assisting tourists. The entry fee is 3$ and 4$ is the guide who will guide you up to and inside the caves. The caves are of middle size without any particular sightseeings or animals living there, so it's not worth a special visit but if you're passing by Loihuno you can do it - it won't take long since the caves are pretty close and the trail up there through the jungle is quite enjoyable.
You might ask local people for home stay accommodation to explore the nearby area for a couple of days and maybe climb some mountains, but I don't recommend to stay at that shitty ridiculously overpriced hotel (more like a guest house) Wailakurini.
Baucau - former capital or Portuguese Timor (Vila Salazar) and second largest town in East Timor
I've combined a few videos made through several years in Timor from 2016 to 2020. Baucau has always occupied a special place in my heart and I never missed an opportunity to stop by on the way to the Eastern villages like Lospalos, Viqueque, Baguia and, of course, Jaco Island.
Keep your expectations curbed and you won't be disappointed. Baucau does not have as much entertainment at night as Dili and is pretty quiet unless it's a holiday. But that's its main charm - a quiet weekend getaway place just within 2-3 hours drive with spectacular beaches and mountainous vistas just within 30 min drive from Baucau. That's why many people use it as a transit base to go further towards the mountains of Ossu, waterfalls of Venilale, caves of Viqueque or pristine blue waters of Jaco.
Stopping in pousada for a late lunch and a swim in piscina is a must do for a tired traveller coming back to Dili after a visit to the districts.

Amazing motobike trip in Timor Leste: Mota Loes - Balibo Fort - Batugade - Indonesian border
Another great weekend around Timor Leste full of discoveries and great moments to remember. Although very tiny, Timor Leste has plenty of places to see at the weekend.
The 2 biggest problems for tourism development now are - lack of good transportation and crazy prices for accommodation. The hotel in Balibo fort, which is not even a 3***, offers rooms for 90-130$. For Asia it's absolutely unreasonable and that's why the hotel is empty all of the time. A local poorly looking guest house in Batugade was 25$ a night which is ridiculous as well. It doesn't help tourism development and it doesn't contribute to local communities.
Explore Timor Island | Adventure Travel Guide | Kupang, Kefa, Atambua&Timor Leste
Hey guys, welcome back to Lion on the Road, a different way to bring travels into your life. In this Vlog we gonna Explore Timor ISLAND (the Indonesian side) on the road & from the drone. Timor is an island at the southern end of Maritime Southeast Asia, north of the Timor Sea. The island is divided between the sovereign states of East Timor on the eastern part and Indonesia on the western part. The Indonesian part, also known as West Timor, constitutes part of the province of East Nusa Tenggara. Within West Timor lies an exclave of East Timor called Oecusse District.
Timor and its offshore islands such as Atauro, a former place of exile increasingly known for its beaches and coral, as well as Jaco along with Wetar and the other Barat Daya Islands to the northeast constitute the Timor and Wetar deciduous forests ecoregion. The natural vegetation was tropical dry broadleaf forests with an undergrowth of shrubs and grasses supporting a rich wildlife[citation needed]. However much of the original forest has been cleared for farming,[citation needed] especially on the coasts of Timor and on the smaller islands like Atauro. Apart from one large block in the centre of Timor only patches remain.[citation needed] This ecoregion is part of the Wallacea area with a mixture of plants and animals of Asian and Australasian origin; it lies in the western part of Wallacea, in which Asian species predominate

The earliest historical record about Timor island is the 14th-century Nagarakretagama, Canto 14, that identifies Timur as an island within Majapahit's realm. Timor was incorporated into ancient Javanese, Chinese and Indian trading networks of the 14th century as an exporter of aromatic sandalwood, slaves, honey and wax, and was settled by both the Portuguese, in the end of the 16th century, and the Dutch, based in Kupang, in the mid-17th century.
As the nearest island with a European settlement at the time, Timor was the destination of William Bligh and seamen loyal to him following the infamous Mutiny on the Bounty in 1789. It was also where survivors of the wrecked HMS Pandora, sent to arrest the Bounty mutineers, landed in 1791 after that ship sank in the Great Barrier Reef.
The island has been politically divided in two parts for centuries. The Dutch and Portuguese fought for control of the island until it was divided by treaty in 1859, but they still did not formally resolve the matter of the boundary until 1912. West Timor, was known as Dutch Timor until 1949 when it became Indonesian Timor, a part of the nation of Indonesia which was formed from the old Netherlands East Indies; while East Timor was known as Portuguese Timor, a Portuguese colony until 1975. It includes the exclave of Oecussi-Ambeno in West Timor.
Kupang was an important port and trading point during the Portuguese and Dutch colonial eras. There are ruins and remnant signs of the colonial presence in the city.
Representatives of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) approached Kupang in 1613 after having conquered the Portuguese fort on Solor. At this time the place and its hinterland was governed by a raja of the Helong tribe which claimed descent from Ceram in Maluku. Kupang was well situated for strategic control over parts of Timor, since it was possible to monitor shipping activities to the south coast of the island. Moreover, the Koinino River provided fresh water for the inhabitants

BAUCAU'S BATS| The Sacred Bats of Baucau, East Timor
Baucau is the second-largest city in East Timor, after Dili, the capital, which lies 122 km (76 mi) to its west. It has about 16,000 inhabitants, and is the capital of Baucau municipality. In this municipality, about 10 kilometers south of the city, lies a bat colony that resides on a single tree for generations.

Lospalos Trip | Iranumu lake Com | East Timor
Tutuala Lospalos - Timor Leste
Lospalos is a wonderful place to visit. And has a nice beach on the island of Jaco, and also ilikere'kere which is a beautiful sighting to see ... and also the beautiful Com beach and many tourists who visit the place.
Tutuala is a village and suco in the subdistrict of
Tutuala ( Lautém District , East Timor ). It is situated at the extreme eastern end of Timor . [1] Its population at the 2004 census was 3,707. The subdistrict of Tutuala comprises two sucos, including Mehara and Tutuala with the subdistrict administrator residing in Tutuala. The suco of Tutuala comprised four hamlets (aldeia): Ioro, Pitileti, Tchailoro, and Vero. [2] The main Fataluku language areas of the country are in Tutuala, as well as Lautem and Fuiloro .
Motorbike trip to Ramelau - climbing the highest mountain in East Timor
Dili-Remexio-Aileu-Maubissi-Hato Builico-Ramelau
I made this 2 days trip by motorbike on the 29th Dec 2015 just before the New Year's Eve.
The climb started at 3-30 am and lasted around 3 hours so that we could meet the dawn on the top.
In spite of the rainy season I was lucky to have a spotless sky above with billions of stars and the bright moon. We used no torches but had no troubles with going up. Having a certain climbing experience I may call the climb to Ramelau quite challenging, as the slopes sometimes are rather steep especially at the top. It was also freezing cold with a strong wind at the summit so that I couldn't stay there too long and my hands without gloves grew numb.
Still it was very exciting and the views are magnificent.
I stayed at Pousada Alecrim - very basic accommodation but for a reasonable price, with nice staff, and close to the mountain.
One Dollar Beach near Manleu - one of the best beaches in Timor Leste.
It's around 40 min driving from dili. This site is good not just for swimming, but also for hiking and snorkelling and picnics. The infrastructure has been redeveloped and is kinda new although I for one don't fancy the style of the new concrete double-deckers. The old bamboo huts were cozier and more authentic.
BAUCAU - second largest city in Timor-Leste: day trip from Dili through Manatuto, Laleia, Vemasse
Left Dili at 7 in the morning, I headed east by a wonderful coastal road towards Baucau, the second largest city in Timor-Leste (East Timor). On the way I visited a small town of Manatuto, where you can observe surroundings from a hill with a Statue of St. Antonio. Further in Laleia town I explored stunning pink 100-years old Portuguese church.
Enjoy the stroll in the colonial old town of Baucau, where Portuguese legacy is well-preserved.

East Timor | Trip | Country | Cities | Travel #022
In 1975 Indonesian military forces (the TNI) invaded the Portuguese colony of East Timor, then under the administration of the pro-independence Fretilin Party (the Revolutionary Front for the Independent East Timor), which had just unilaterally declared independence. From the outset, the invasion was strongly resisted by the heavily out-gunned and outnumbered Fretilin armed forces. The invaders treated the local population harshly, indiscriminately killing hundreds of mostly civilian Dili residents in the first two weeks of the occupation.
