Nusa Tenggara may lack some of the tropical allure of western Indonesia, but what it lacks in thick jungle, it makes up for in rugged landscapes and wild seas that ooze adventure. Whether it’s navigating the deep, dangerous channels in dodgy boats or traversing the mountainous interiors on death-trap motorbikes, these tales of life and death are often closely intertwined with the mystic spiritualism that pervades all facets of life in these far-flung outposts. Perfect for quick-hit missions to rare, super sucky reefs, Nusa Tenggara nonetheless has a powerful allure. Some travellers never leave and now call this ancient land their home. This book also includes an appendix containing insightful cultural observations, advice on how to travel in a lighter, more sustainable way, while protecting the coastal environment and helping change the way we interact with this awesome land and its people.
