The island of giant megalithic tombs, ikat fabrics, and sandalwood horses Sumba is recognised as the source of some of Indonesia’s most handsome ikat fabrics, sandalwood horses, ritual tribal life, flawlessly built high-peaked thatch-roofed villages, and mammoth sculptured stone tombs. Here, you find an authentic ancient culture. About 300 km long and 80 km wide and oval shaped, Sumba’s 11,180 sq. km area is divided into East and West Regencies, with significant topographic, climatic, cultural, linguistic, and historical differences between the two halves. The island’s chief air and seaport, Waingapu, is the capital of East Sumba. Waikabubak is the capital of the West Sumba Regency. |
