Sumba 4 Days Tour Itinerary

DAY 1: TAMBOLAKA AIRPORT – WATUMALANDONG – BWANNA BEACH (L, D)

Upon arrival at the airport of Tambolaka in Waitabula, meet and greet with our guide and we will begin the journey. We will drive for 1,5 hours to visit the secret beach of Watumalandong and Bwanna where you can see the beautiful view of both beaches from one point. The beach of Bwanna is a long clear colorful sand beach under the majestic cliff heading to the Indian Ocean makes this place extraordinary. Whilst its beauty is unquestionable, the beach is still unknown by most tourist, which makes it almost private and very clean. Enjoy the day at a quiet beach until the sunset and transfer back to the hotel. Please get your bag ready with a towel and extra clothes as we might head here directly from the airport.

DAY 2: VILLAGE RATENGGARO – WEEKURI LAKE – MANDORAK BEACH (B, L, D )

After breakfast, we will visit the traditional village Ratenggaro in Kodi area. Here we will see the traditional high rooftops houses (actually the highest rooftops in whole Sumba) made all by hand and traditionally. This village is the only one of a few traditional villages left in the area, and while the village is just a compound of some houses, each house can accommodate up to 50 family members. During the harvesting season, however, most of the villagers will stay in their fields to work and only leave the elders and children in the village. Locals normally walk their horses and cows to the area so be sure to have the camera ready for the shots. From Ratenggarro we will head to Weekuri Lake, a crystal clear lake that makes it a great place to swim and relax. Spend some time in the lake for taking a short (or long) dip. Next to the Weekuri Lake, we will find Mandorak Beach, guarded with 2 huge rock ridges pointing to the middle and crystal clear water. We will watch the sunset on this beach and head back to the hotel.

DAY 3: LA POPU WATERFALL – PRAIJING VILLAGE – WAIKABUBAK TOWN (B, L, D)

Today we will start our trip to visit the La Popu waterfall. The waterfall La Popu is a natural waterfall that is located in Manupeu Tanah Daru National Park, this waterfall consists of plenty of steep slopes. The slopes rise from the sea reaching a height of 600 meters. Unlike the other waterfall in Sumba, Lapopu is very famous and often visited by the locals because the location is not hard to reach. Our trip continues to the village Praijing, a traditional village uphill surrounded by lots of greenery. This is one of the few villages where we can actually have a beautiful overview of the entire village and draw an idea of how the village is conducted. Take some time to walk around the village; the elders occupy most of the houses and kids are always around to share their smiles.

DAY 4: TARUNG/WAITABAR VILLAGE – TAMBOLAKA AIRPORT (B)

Breakfast at the hotel and free time until the transfer time to the airport. If time permitted, we will make a short visit to the village of Tarung – Waitabar. Both villages located next to each other (literally!) and are still very much alive. These villages are located inside the capital of Waikabubak, and the villagers still practicing what they practice since the old time.
