East Lampung

East Lampung is an administrative regency in Lampung province on Sumatra that spans diverse landscapes from southern mountains to eastern coastal areas. The region contains many districts organized for local governance across this varied terrain.

This regency formed as its own administrative unit after Indonesia gained independence from colonial rule. Sukadana was established as the administrative center to manage regional governance.

The population here includes Javanese, Sundanese, and indigenous Lampung communities who maintain their traditions through local ceremonies and daily life. You can see this cultural mix in different neighborhoods where various groups live alongside each other.

The region connects to neighboring areas through an expanding road network, making travel between districts straightforward. Sukadana serves as the main hub for administrative and commercial activity across the area.

Way Kambas National Park sits within the region and protects one of the last refuge areas for Sumatran elephants. The park preserves important rainforest that supports the island's wider ecosystem.
