This island lies off West Sumatra in the Indian Ocean.
The villages of Bawomataluo and Hilisimae are curious places
to visit, where visitors can see performances of traditional
war-dances and thrilling high- jump sports, i.e. people
making dangerous leaps over 2 meter-high stones. Typical
scenes are dancers clad in traditional costumes with bird
feathers on their heads, a hall for the Chief-of Tribe built
on wooden logs with stone chairs weighing up to 18 tons.
There are daily flights from Medan to Nias island.
