Wairinding Hill
Bukit Wairinding
Rolling golden grassland hills stacked one after another, Sumba’s most iconic viewpoint for its grassy landscapes.
The Wairinding Hills sit beside the main road about 25 km west of Waikabubak, toward western Sumba. The gently rolling grassy slopes are wide open, golden in the dry season and lush green in the rainy season. The layers of light are richest at sunrise and sunset. Park by the road and walk a few minutes to reach the top of the slope. Village children often offer to guide you or lead horses for photos, and a tip is expected. There is no shade on the slope, so bring a hat and water. A small entrance fee is charged.
Opening hours
All day; best at sunrise and sunset
