Horses of Sumbawa

Horse carts of Sumbawa

In Sape on the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia horse carts called dokar and motorbikes are the main forms of transportation.

There is a big traffic jam at the market in the morning with all these horse carts and it is kind of a unique experience.

A ride costs about 50 cents for up to 5 kilometers. There are a few ojeks (motorbike taxis) but the most common transport in town is these little carts.

There is not a lot to do in Sape once you’ve seen the market except wait for the ferry to Labuanbajo on Flores.

The ferries do not stop in Komodo on the way but at one time they did.

If you are on your way to see the dragons it is easy enough to organize the trip from Labuanbajo.
