Add to wishlist

Journey into the remote highlands of Lamboya.

Visit some of Sumba’s most authentic and isolated villages that remain quietly rooted in tradition.

Your adventure to Lamboya begins with a scenic drive into the rural highlands. At the beautiful hilltop village of Pakat, you’ll travel on foot on a trail that opens out to sweeping views of thecoastline and navigates you through farmland and the island’s rugged landscapes.

The three-mile trek winds through villages and countryside, offering a glimpse into daily life in Lamboya and the enduring connection between the land and its people. After the hike, a short drive brings you to Sumba’s “Rice Island,” an elevated jungle islet surrounded by lush rice fields, where you’ll have a scenic picnic.

If heaven was a place on earth, it might look a little like NIHI.

There is something endlessly beautiful about watching horses roam free, running the shoreline and swimming in the ocean, life as it was intended. These majestic creatures are woven deeply into the culture of Sumba, companions to its people and part of the very soul of the island.
