Rejang Lebong, Administrative regency in Bengkulu, Indonesia
Rejang Lebong is an administrative regency in Sumatra comprising several districts and villages managed from the town of Curup. The territory spans varied terrain with different elevations and supports multiple settlements of varying sizes.
The region took its current form through administrative changes in 2003, when areas were divided to create separate administrative units. This reorganization established the regency's modern structure and boundaries.
The Rejang people, known locally as Tun Jang, form the largest ethnic group in the western areas and shape community life there. The Lembak communities inhabit the eastern zones and maintain their own traditions and ways of living.
Access is best achieved through Curup, the administrative center and main transport hub for the region. Visitors should prepare for varied weather conditions, as the hilly elevations can bring mist and occasional rain.
The local philosophy is expressed through the motto 'Pat Sepakat Lemo Seperno', which emphasizes the value of mutual agreement and shared perfection. This principle reflects how communities work together and shape local affairs.
