See the breathtaking sights of the Wanukaka Valley during the 45-minute drive to Matayangu. After parking at a nearby village, you begin the 1.5 hour downhill trek, lead fully by local
guides, through the pristine Indonesian National Park forest to the blue lagoon at the base
of the waterfall. As the trail emerges from the jungle, the breathtaking view of the size and
scale of the waterfall basin is truly worth the walk. While you soak in your surroundings,
guides will set up a picnic for a fresh leisurely lunch. You can spend the rest of afternoon

LAPOPU WATERFALL
TREKKING
Excellent for families and friends, we begin this excursion with a 40-minute drive through
the Wanukaka Valley before making the approach to the base of Lapopu. The waterfall
originates at a mountain spring and the water cascades down moss-covered rocks for more
than 100 meters into a natural pool, enclosed within a small canyon.
This location is a wonderful spot for swimming and sunbathing on the rocks, and you are
free to take in the beautiful surroundings for as long as you please while enjoying a packed
snack from the kitchen. We recommend you pack a sarong, swimsuit, extra shirt and camera
before embarking on the trip, and make sure to wear sturdy shoes.

TREKKING
A diaspora of sights and sounds, starting from the beach over streams, through rice fields
and the outskirts of local villages, down through the agricultural heart of the Lamboya
valley passing by grazing water buffalos, giggling school children and harvesting farmers,
this 2 hour leisurely trek to Nihi's own "rice island" offers another very special experience of
the neighbouring valley. Following the 2 hour hike, you are greeted by two therapists to
massage your legs whilst you take in the sights of the sprawling rice paddies below you.
A healthy brunch, offering none other than local dishes based on rice, awaits you by an open
fire on a teak deck with breathtaking views. The return to the resort by open aired jeep
leads you through local villages, past schools and a few clinics support by our very own
Sumba Foundation.
The entire experience gives you yet another glimpse of this special Sumbanese culture. CAPACITY
