Eastern Indonesia is a treasure trove of natural wonders, cultural heritage, and untouched beauty. Here are five spots you absolutely must explore on your next adventure.
1. Komodo National Park – Home of the legendary Komodo dragons, crystal-clear waters, and scenic islands like Padar and Rinca. It's a must for any first-time visitor to Eastern Indonesia.
2. Kelimutu Lakes – Located in central Flores, these three color-changing crater lakes are one of Indonesia’s most surreal natural phenomena. Sunrise here is a spiritual experience.
3. Wae Rebo Village – A remote mountain village in Flores known for its unique cone-shaped houses and preserved Manggarai culture. Reaching Wae Rebo requires a trek, but it’s worth every step.
4. Raja Ampat – A paradise for snorkelers and divers. With the richest marine biodiversity in the world, Raja Ampat offers untouched coral gardens, hidden lagoons, and scenic viewpoints.
5. Lombok – Beyond the beaches, Lombok boasts waterfalls, rice fields, and the mighty Mount Rinjani. A quieter alternative to Bali with just as much charm.
