Geography
The northern part of the regency's territory (comprising Tigi Barat, Tigi and Tigi Timur Districts) surrounds Lake Tigi. This lake is located 1,780 metres above sea level and has a depth of up to 150 metres. This lake has a very cold mountainous climate. Lake Tigi has extraordinary natural attractions, a cool and refreshing atmosphere, clear water, and a dazzling view at the foot of Mount Deiyai. The remaining districts (Kapiraya in the southwest and Bowobado in the south) are much less populated.
The regent is now based in the town of Waghete, which is part of the Tigi District. The new Regent's office was completed in 2010, built on a land area of 500 x 300 square metres, which was purchased from the local community. The town of Waghete is located on the edge of an ancient lake, namely Lake Tigi. The Tigi region is a valley unit, with a relatively flat plain especially around Lake Tigi.
