Kodi Pasola Field, located just 10 minutes from Pakare Beach, stands as one of Sumba Island’s prominent Pasola venues. The approach to the field takes visitors through a striking landscape of large graves, a reminder of the area’s historical and cultural depth. The road leading to the field is rugged and uneven, reflecting the traditional, untamed charm of the region. Historically significant, the field becomes a focal point for local and government gatherings during the Pasola festival, a traditional event celebrating local heritage and customs. Outside of festival times, the field provides a pastoral setting where buffalo and horses roam freely, adding to the tranquil ambiance. The lush grass and open space offer a peaceful environment, highlighting the natural beauty and rural character of Kodi. This unique combination of historical significance and natural serenity makes Kodi Pasola Field a noteworthy site on Sumba Island.
