Pau Village
Kampung Raja Pau
A royal village in the Umalulu area with large megalithic tombs and traditional thatched houses, often visited together with Rende.
Pau village lies in the Umalulu area of East Sumba, about 10 km from Rende Village. It is another well-preserved royal village in East Sumba, with finely carved megalithic tombs and tall, pointed-roof thatched great houses. Its ikat weaving is also famous, and it receives fewer visitors than Rende. It is usually combined with Rende Village and Waimarang Waterfall into a southeast day trip. Entering the village requires registration and a donation, and you should get villagers’ consent before taking photos.
