Mrs. Nurul Wahyuti, director of C.V Luxury Jaya Gemilang, has entrusted the management of operations around Mount Tambora to a local organization based in the village of Oi Bura: Kelompok Sadar Wisata (Pokdarwis), or Tourism Awareness Group in English. The group, named Tambora Jaya Gemilang, consists of 16 dedicated members.
Originally from Bima city on Sumbawa Island, Nurul earned her bachelor’s degree in Human Resources in 2015. Her lifelong passion is helping others achieve economic growth by providing them with meaningful opportunities. During the six years she lived near Mount Tambora, she welcomed and supported many visitors who came to hike the mountain.
When the pandemic hit, Nurul returned to her hometown of Bima and recently opened a skincare clinic. She is a proud mother of two sons: eight-year-old Jess and Richie, who is almost two.
She is happy to answer any questions—by email or WhatsApp—even before your journey begins.
Now based in Bima city, Nurul remains deeply connected to the Tambora region. After witnessing the economic setbacks the local community faced during the pandemic, she decided to reinvest in the area by developing a glamping site on a 40-acre property. Building an entirely new site presents its challenges, but with their five-star hospitality track record, guests can expect an unforgettable and meaningful stay.
Everyone involved in looking after you is truly grateful for the additional income. In such a remote area, life is not easy—but your decision to stay and hike with them brings real joy to their days.
Let us introduce you to Putu Edi and Gek July, your hosts during your visit to Tambora.
Originally from Bali, they moved to Tambora about ten years ago. They live near the Glamping Site in a small village of around 30 Balinese families, close to an important Hindu temple. While their English may be limited, we kindly ask for your patience and understanding.
Both Putu and Gek are excited to welcome you as their guests. Gek is an excellent cook, and Putu is fantastic at handling all the logistics—so you’ll be well taken care of throughout your stay.
Additionally, Putu serves as the chairman of the local organization, Tambora Jaya Gemilang.
