Introducing Moni

Moni is a pretty village, nestled among soaring peaks, which serves as the gateway to Flores’ main tourist attraction, Kelimutu. It is scenic, cooler than the lowlands and a good place for walks.

The village is strung alongside the EndeMaumere road in the heart of the Lio region, which extends from east of Ende to beyond Wolowaru. Lio people speak a dialect of the Ende language and are renowned for their ikat weaving: pieces adorned with bands of blue and rusty-red. A colourful market spreads over the playing field in front of Moni’s church every Monday morning. Cloth from the Nggela and Maumere regions can be bought here. You’ll also find a few stalls along Moni’s main street, as well as at the parking area for Kelimutu.
