East Nusa Tenggara Islands consists of
Lembata,Solor, Adonara, Pantar, and Alor. They
are situated East of Flores Is. and are still very
much on the new frontier of Indonesian dive and
cultural destinations.
The islands shoreline offer white sandy beaches
and beautiful coral gardens with rich marine and
fish life. Alor is known for their strong and fast
currents and the enormous fish which inhabit
them. There are caves, overhangs, and steep walls
with prolific coverage of soft and hard coral,
sponge, and dense fish concentrations of large
pelagic and schooling reef species. Highlights
include Giant groupers, Sharks, Napolean
wrasse,and Great Barracuda.
Alor is one of the least explored islands and due to
its rugged conditions, travel within its interior is
very difficult. These natural conditions have kept
the island's diverse ethnic tribes extremely isolated,
even from neighboring villages. On this island
alone, there are approximately 50 different tribal
ethnicities, each with their own language and
cultural traditions.
The topography of the islands is mountainous
with sculpted hills and more interestingly as a
result,making it less touched by the outside World.
East Nusa Tenggara Islands are rich with the
variety of ethnic groups forming their own unique
culture, traditions,and languages. Culture and
traditions are still kept strong today. Most of the
native inhabitants reside and work farms along
the mountain slopes overlooking the ocean. The
shorelines are inhabited by seafaring ethnic
groups from South Celebes, who make their living
from trading and fishing.
Lembata Is. is known for their beautiful "ikat"
(tie and dye) textiles. These handwoven textiles are
very much valued as the ethnic heirloom,each
possessing their own unique intricate designs. On
the Southeastern part of the island, Lamalera
village makes their living from whale hunting.
They are one of two traditional whale hunting
villages still allowed to pursue this custom. Solor
and Adonara Is. are rarely visited by Western
tourists.
