Sunda Islands: Sumba Discovery Tour. You are looking for peace and above all a change from what you already know. You like exotic places that have character in their own way. And you love nature just as much as secluded Indonesian island cultures. Travel to the Lesser Sunda Island of Sumba! Can also be combined with our Flores and Komodo trip.

Sunda Islands: Sumba Discovery Tour

Go on a discovery tour: Sumba, the small island pearl in eastern Indonesia, is about twice the size of Bali, but many times less crowded than its better-known sister island on the other side of the Wallace Line. Look forward to an Indonesian trip to a region off the beaten track; a different kind of Indonesian holiday. Discover the unique megalithic culture and Pasola tradition, as well as the enchanting island landscape with its fantastic beaches and views.

Your fitness level: Our Sumba Explorer Tour requires you to be of normal fitness. Although most of the way is covered by car, there are still a few metres to walk here and there, which can feel a bit strenuous in the prevailing tropical temperatures.

*Pasola tradition: Pasola is a mounted spear fighting competition from West Sumba, Indonesia. Pasola involves throwing wooden spears at the opponent while riding a horse. This tradition celebrates the rice planting season. The word pasola means "spear" in the local language and is derived from the Sanskrit "sula". Pasola takes place for about four weeks in February and March.
