Coming in 2027 – Tambora Jaya Gemilang Homestay

Tambora Jaya Gemilang is developing a small three-cottage homestay for visitors to the Mount Tambora region.

The homestay is being developed by the same local community that organizes our Mount Tambora trekking experiences. The aim is to provide guests with a simple, comfortable and authentic place to stay while directly supporting local families and creating additional sustainable tourism income.

The three cottages are planned to become our preferred accommodation option for Mount Tambora trekkers from 2027, giving guests the opportunity to stay close to the local trekking team and experience genuine hospitality within the Tambora community.

Further information about the cottages, facilities, availability and reservations will be added as the project progresses.
