Kambu Hapang

Just a few minutes from Lewa’s traditional market are the Kambu Hapang rice fields. Lewa, a district in East Sumba, is well-known for its agriculture, particularly its rice fields. Many of the area’s residents include people from outside Sumba, such as those from the neighboring province of West Nusa Tenggara, who have come to live and work as farmers. This blend of local and outside influences adds a unique cultural dimension to the area. The Kambu Hapang rice fields are notable for their vast expanse and their location near the road, making them easily accessible. Beyond their agricultural importance, the fields offer breathtaking views, especially when the landscape is lush and green, providing a serene and picturesque setting. In addition to the scenic beauty, visitors can relax at a bamboo seating area by the bank, which offers a comfortable spot to enjoy the tranquility and natural surroundings. The area is perfect for taking a leisurely break, reflecting on the beauty of the landscape, or simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.
