What to Know About Pantar

Key Facts

Pantar is an island and regency (kabupaten) within the Alor Archipelago of East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. Located immediately west of Alor Island, from which it is separated by the Pantar Strait, Pantar forms part of the larger Lesser Sunda Islands chain. The island spans approximately 728 square kilometers and is characterized by its rugged, volcanic terrain, with Mount Sirung, an active volcano, standing as its highest peak at around 862 meters. Pantar is administratively divided into 17 districts (kecamatan), including Kalabahi, the capital of Alor Regency, which is situated on Alor Island but governs both islands. The population is estimated to be around 40,000–50,000 people, primarily engaged in subsistence agriculture, fishing, and small-scale trade. Pantar's coastline features numerous bays and coral reefs, supporting marine biodiversity, while its interior consists of arid hills and savannah, influenced by a dry tropical climate. As part of the Alor Regency, Pantar plays a crucial role in regional governance and development, and accessing postal code information for its districts facilitates communication and services across this remote island community.
