Sumba Island, located in eastern Indonesia, is a hidden gem known for its rugged landscapes, pristine beaches, and rich cultural heritage. The island is famous for its traditional villages with unique thatched-roof houses, vibrant ikat textiles, and the annual Pasola festival, where locals engage in a dramatic horseback battle. Sumba’s natural beauty is equally captivating, with rolling hills, stunning waterfalls, and some of the most secluded and picturesque beaches in the country. Less commercialized than other Indonesian islands, Sumba offers a truly authentic and off-the-beaten-path experience for travelers seeking adventure and cultural immersion.
