Koal Village
Lombok, Indonesia
July 2010 

Situated in the highlands of Lombok Island, Koal is a remote village inhabited by the indigenous people called the Sasak.  We drove for a few hours until the roads became dirt and rock, and another hour more until the van went no further. We started hiking up the mountain until we reached the village of Koal. What we saw up there took my breath away.
