Amazing! Things To Do In Sumba You Would Love To Embark On

Have you always wanted to travel back in time and get a taste of an ancient civilization?

In Sumba, a mysterious and rugged island located in East Nusa Tenggara, southwest of Flores, you can get a glimpse of tribal villages built on hilltops and fortified by historic stone walls. If the Skull Island from the movie King Kong is real, Sumba could be a pretty good candidate to fill that title.

In fact, headhunting rites are still going on and you can literally find “skull trees” in the villages where severed heads would be displayed.

Here, rolling savannah and uncharted limestone hills layer the countryside, while hilltop villages with thatched tribal homes are guarded by megalithic tombs.

This is also one of the prime destinations for surfers around the world.

Getting there:

Sleepy Waitabula, the most easterly large town in Sumba, is your western gateway to Sumba and houses the island’s largest and most modern airport, Tambolaka.

On the other hand, the capital Waingapu is a good choice if you want to stock up supplies, such as food, medication, and to arrange local transport and tours.

Getting around the island:

You can either hire a car or bike around the island on a motorbike. Depending on distance and your negotiation skills, a car with driver costs around Rp.600,000 to 1,000,000 (USD 45 to 75) per day. Self-drive motorbike hire is way more fun and it’s a lot cheaper at around Rp.75,000 to 150,000 (USD 6 – 11) per day.

If you don’t speak Bahasa Indonesia, we recommend bringing along a friend who does, so that it’s easier to communicate with the locals and you can get a better deal during negotiations.

Things to do in Sumba:

From out-of-the-world waterfalls to ancient tribal villages, Sumba will surely be the one destination that you won’t forget. Although slowly gaining traction on social media, the island is still considered to be a fairly secret destination, so if you are up for an exotic adventure, pack your bags and we’ll show you where to go!

Important Things To Do Before 25

23 years old. I started to reflect on my years of life and realised how much I have accomplished, grown in myself. I though I'm young, fit and fearless and it seems a waste not to making list and see the world when it is right at fingertips! There are so many “listicles” out there about what I have learned or know by a certain age. Making this list turned out to be a little harder than I expected – honestly, how many crazy, life-changing experiences can I really expect to have in the next year? I have to save some things for the years that come after, right? I found myself including things that I think will make me a better person and challenge me in new ways. And after my birthday six months ago, I couldn’t help but contribute to the conversation. There are (at least) so many things I wish I took advantage of, learned, habituated to or did before turning 25... and things I am going to try to accomplish after turning 25. 1. Go to a music concert and festival Done alre
