When you arrive on Sumba from the hustle and bustle of Bali you realize you have stepped back in time to a nature lovers paradise, an untouched island with a sense of remoteness that is now a days hard to find. Sumba has one traffic light, several stunning waterfalls, blue lagoons, empty beaches, and lush valleys. The biggest surprise is its intact castes society and ancient animist religion that uses megalithic burial sites for funerals with expensive animal sacrifices. In case you ever wondered about the tall conical thatched roofs you encounter while visiting the local villages; they are meant to provide a space for ancestral spirits to reside in them. Nihi Sumba is a wonderful home to explore Sumba from.  Bring good insect repellent and a sense of adventure and even back home you will still feel the pull from Sumba in your heart.
