Off the south-west of the eastern islands chain of Indonesia, exactly south of Flores and south-east of Sumbawa, lies Sumba, one most fascinating and unique island in the archipelago. As a part of East Nusa Tenggara Province. Sumba reveals a face with two distinct halves. In contrast with the green tropical forest and agricultural area of Westrn Sumba, the eastern one is covered most with savannah down the rocky lime hills and amazing oases scattered everywhere.

This eastern part of the island, is the main part of the East Sumba Regency. Besides all its dryness and loneliness, East Sumba – with its capital Waingapu, the largest town in and the main entry point to the island – lurks valueble treasures, both economically and cultirally.
