From Sumbawa Besar, visit Rarak and Lawang about 2'% hours walk. Take the narrow rutted road which winds its way into the island's interior mountains to the southwest. Old Dutch stone posts mark the kilometers as far as Kayu Sengkal, 24 km up in the high foothills. The road slowly climbs towards the pinnacle of Sumbawa's western peninsula, the twin peaks of the Batu Lante Mountains. Catch glimpses of the Flores Sea 300 m below. Closely clustered villages are found in this area. Hear the musical rhythmic thumping of women working the rice boat (rantok) and beating thistles. In the evenings during the monotonous chore of threshing they sing humerous or nostalgic verses to alleviate the work. These villages are closed up tightly at dusk for fear of set an (bad spirits). On Sumbawa, as in many of the backwater regions of Indonesia, witchcraft is rampant.
