Langa Village - Ngada - Bajawa
Langa Village -Ngada Regency images

Langa Village sits at the foot of an active volcano. The people in this village live in much the same way their ancestors did hundreds of years ago.

You will notice the many graves around the village. Their traditional beliefs worship their ancestors. To honour their ancestors and have their spirits protect them, family members are buried near the house. This traditional belief has been merged with Christianity introduced by missionaries, hence the crosses.
