Alor is the largest island in the Alor archipelago located at the eastern-most end of the chain of islands that runs through southern Indonesia, lying just north of the island of Timor. Pantar island is located just west of Alor. Other islands in the Alor archipelago include Kepa, Buaya, Ternate, Pura and Tereweng. Politically the Alor archipelago forms its own Kabupaten or district, in the province of Nusa Tenggara Timur. The interior of the islands Alor and Pantar is quite mountainous. However peaks are not as high as other nearby islands, such as Flores.
Kalabahi is the only town on the island of Alor, and is therefore the main centre for transport to, from and within the Alor archipelago. There are two main ways of getting to Alor from other parts of Indonesia. There are regular flights from Kupang to Kalabahi. These flights are run by Merpati airlines. Pelni passenger ships also service Kalabahi each week.
There are four main forms of public transport in the Alor archipelago. There are numerous routes between the islands, and from one part of an island to another by boat. Within Kalabahi and to nearby locations there are bemos, and more recently larger buses. It is possible to travel to places further a field from Kalabahi, but still on the island of Alor, by bus, ojek (motorbike with rider), or by 'panser' (WWII Japanese jeeps).
Transport to Alor during the wet season is sometimes disrupted due to high winds and large waves.
The islands Pantar and Alor are connected by a regular (usually daily) motor boat service. The journey takes about half a day. One service connects Kalabahi and west Pantar (Baranusa), the other Kalabahi and east Pantar (Kabir). In the rainy season, services are often disrupted due to bad weather conditions. Baranusa and Kabir are also connected by a small ferry, in order to avoid having to cross the mountain ridge that separates both parts of the island. There are only one or two cars or trucks on Pantar, and transport is mainly by boat, motorbike, by foot, or (in flat areas) by bicycle and wooden hand cart. There is one bank on the island (in Baranusa, west Pantar), and there are several secondary schools, as well as a few small shops, but there is no post office, no hospital, and no hotel or restaurant. In Baranusa there is a small lodge. Markets are held regularly in Kabir and Baranusa.
Some of the best snorkelling and diving can be found in the Alor archipelago. Due to unpredictable and often very strong currents it is best to snorkel or dive with someone who knows the area well.
Alor is a very photogenic location, with crystal clear water containing beautiful coral reefs, spectacular mountains, with equally spectacular vistas from the top, and colourful locals.

This island, known as Lomlen Island in East Nusa Tenggara, apparently has cultural, and tourist destinations that are higly attractive to visit. That's Lembata Island where one of its beach tourist destinations is Tuba Kedang.
Some of Lembata's most famous inhabitants reside on the south coast in the town of Lamalera. Traditional whale hunting is still practised here, at least still by the middle aged men (the younger generations consider it old-fashioned, so the practise probably won't last much longer). This is the only place in Indonesia where whales are still hunted 'the old way'. Instead of motor boats and explosive harpoons, 12 metre 'prahus' are paddled, with the harpooner balancing precariously on a flimsy platform at the front of the boat. When he gets within striking distance he hurls the lance, leaping in after it irrespective of which creature he has speared, hoping to put his full weight behind the spear and pull of a quick a kill as possible. Then the fight really begins. The whale will typically take off, reeling off a couple bundles of rope (woven from palm fronds) before towing the boat off behind - sometimes as far as Timor!

Regardless of ones views on hunting these magnificent beasts you have to admire the whale hunters of Lamalera for their vim and vigour.
