Wide grassy hills and a green river valley around the village of Napu, in Haharu on the north coast of East Sumba. Few visitors make it this far, and the light at the start and end of the day is spectacular.

Local tipCombine it with Wunga, which is nearby. Bring water and fuel: there is little on this coast.
