Dear Mr.Jan van Sandwijk,

Thank you for your email

According to our basic information we have that Pasola Ritual will be
held one day after the full moon

For February, the full moon will fall on 09 February so we predict that
Pasola will be around 10 February.

Should you are planning to go and see the Pasola, we highly recommend
you to come on 08 so you could explore the island more.

Should there are more things we could do, please do not hesitate to
contact us ( or probably we could help you to arrange your trip in
Sumba )

Looking forward to hearing your comments

Best Regards,

Agus

I'm not sure what the quote "basic information" means. Not sure if the
information is correct. In case you've got more (exact) information,
please contact us at vansandwyk@**********. We are planning to visit the
pasola festival in Feb. this year. Petra Versluis & Jan van Sandwijk,
