About Sumbawa
The effects of Hindu and Buddhist cultures are minimal in Sumbawa; the majority of the population are Muslims. During the dry season (April to November), a lot of dust is blown up and around. Strong winds blow in off the ocean, and the lush green hills, mountains and valleys turn a dusty brown. When the rainy season begins, an amazing transformation takes place and the island becomes a lush jungle once again. As most of the island is still developing. There is a very rural feel to just about everything, including Sumbawa Besar, the capital of the western side of the island. The mining company, Newmont, has a gold and copper mine down in the southwestern corner of the island around the villages of Sekongkang, Maluk and Benete. Their presence has sped up the development process in this side
