East Manggarai Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Manggarai Timur) is a regency in East Nusa Tenggara province of Indonesia. Established on 17 July 2007 (out of the eastern six districts of the original Manggarai Regency), the regency has its seat (capital) in the town of Borong. It covers a land area of 2,438.68 km2. The population at the 2010 Census was 252,754,[2] and at the 2020 Census was 275,603;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 310,822.[1]

Tourism

[edit]

The local government is aiming to promote a range of tourist sites including the following:[4]

  • Nanga Labang village, on the seashore with pristine beaches
  • Lake Air Panas (Hot Water) in Rana Masak
  • Gampang Mas village near Borong
  • Laka Rana Tojong where the Victoria amazonica giant lily grows.

An additional feature of interest in the regency is the Pota Komodo dragon which has similar traits to the more well-known Komodo dragon found in neighbouring West Manggarai Regency. The population of the Pota Komodo dragon has been declining and there is now concern about conservation of the local dragon population.[5]

International visitors travel through various parts of the district, sometimes liaising with local groups such as village Catholic communities. In late 2012, one visiting Polish couple took the decision to be married in Lait Valley in the Kota Komba area.[6]

Administrative Districts

[edit]

The East Manggarai Regency, when established in 2007, was divided into six districts (kecamatan), Borong and Kota Kombo districts in the south of the regency and Elar, Sambi Rampas, Poco Renata and Lamba Leda districts in the north. However, after 2010 three additional districts (Elar Selatan, Poco Ranaka Timur and Rana Mese) were created by splitting of existing districts, and in 2021 three more districts were created from existing districts (Kota Komba Utara from part of Kota Komba District, Congkar from part of Sambi Rampas District, and Lamba Leda Utara from part of Lamba Leda District), while Poco Renata and Poco Renata Timur districts were renamed Lamba Leda Selatan and Lamba Leda Timur respectively.

The 12 districts are tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[2] and the 2020 Census,[3] together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.[1] The table also includes the locations of the administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (a total of 159 rural desa and 17 urban kelurahan), and its post codes.
