Kampung Adat Ratenggaro in Sumba, Indonesia is a unique and culturally rich place. The traditional Sumba houses with their tall roofs offer a fascinating view of the island's heritage. The surrounding scenery is beautiful, and the village has a special atmosphere that feels like stepping back in time. However, my visit was somewhat affected by a few issues. Unfortunately, cleanliness is a problem in some areas. I noticed quite a bit of animal waste, especially from horses and pigs, which made the experience less pleasant. Additionally, I felt uncomfortable because many children were constantly asking for money. While I understand that tourism is important for the community, the frequent requests were a bit overwhelming. Overall, while Kampung Adat Ratenggaro has its charm, these issues impacted my visit. With better cleanliness and improved management of interactions with tourists, this village could provide a more enjoyable experience.
