Starting from the sandy beach, traversing over delicate streams, crossing through green rice fields, along the outskirts of traditional villages and finally tracking down through the agricultural heart of Sumba. You’ll meet grazing water buffalo, giggling schoolchildren, and hardworking farmers harvesting their crops. This is a magnificent cultural exploration of our neighboring valley.

Following the two-hour hike, you will be greeted with a well-earned picnic overlooking sprawling rice paddies below. Your return to NIHI^® will then be in an open-air safari vehicle so sit back and enjoy the drive through local villages and past schools and health clinics supported by The Sumba Foundation^®.
