East Nusa Tenggara is indeed famous for its beautiful islands and beaches. However, there is also a hill called Kelabba Madja, located on Sabu Island. This colorful hill is claimed to be the twin of Oregon's Painted Hills in the United States.
The cliffs at Kelabba Madja feature shades of blue, white, brown, and red. These colors occur naturally, as if painted with a giant paintbrush. In addition to the rainbow cliffs, there is also a miracle in the form of balancing rocks. These three rocks stand firmly at the top of the tapering cliff.
