KOEPANG - KUPANG

East Nusa Tenggara is, in many ways different from the rest of Indonesia. It is geographically, ethnically and culturally a border area where the transition from Asia to Australia and Micronesia takes places.
The province of East Nusa Tenggara comprises 566 islands. The three main islands are Flores, Sumba and Timor.

Timor is the principal island in terms of population where the capital of the province, Kupang, is located. The only sandalwood oil factory in Indonesia is located in this town. Here one can see the distillation of sandalwood oil, which is famous in East Nusa Tenggara.

Timor is rich in various cultures, beautiful sceneries, and a wonderful nature. Made up of dry, rocky land, isolated communities, rolling cattle land, a variety of styles of architecture, Timor is basically something that possesses its own original characteristics.
Timor island separate into 2, East Nusa Tenggara (Indonesia) and Timor Leste/ East Timor.
