s many as 36 people from two outdoor activity groups in Gorontalo have been reported missing on Mount Gambuta, located in the Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park (TNBNW) in Bone Bolango regency, Gorontalo province.

The group of nature lovers was earlier reported to have departed from Gorontalo city for Mt. Gambuta, which stands 1,954 meters above sea level. They planned to unfurl the red and white Indonesian flag on Aug. 17 to commemorate Indonesia'€™s 69th Independence Day on the mountain.

According to their schedule, they should have returned on Sunday evening, but by Tuesday they had failed to return. The local National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) initiated a search after receiving a report.
