Sunda Islands: West Sumba Experience Tour. You are interested in the remote region of the Lesser Sunda Islands?

Sunda Islands: West Sumba Experience Tour

Go on a discovery tour: Sumba is located in Indonesia east of the Wallace Line. The island is about twice the size of Bali. However, the influx of visitors to this jewel of the Lesser Sunda Islands is very manageable compared to its sister island. With the island of Sumba, you decide on an Indonesian trip away from the tourist flow. Pure nature with an impressive island landscape and fantastic beaches as well as a unique culture, characterised by megalithic tombs and the local *Pasola tradition, among other things..

Your fitness level: A normal fitness level is sufficient for our West Sumba Tour. Most of the route is covered by car. However, there are always a few metres to walk. The tropical climate that accompanies you may make some of the movements feel a little strenuous.

 

*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.
