East Nusa Tenggara (Nusa Tenggara Timur) is one of Indonesia's most diverse provinces: the world-famous Komodo Islands dragons, Flores' volcanic lakes, and traditional Flores culture create a unique combination. Labuan Bajo is the gateway to Komodo National Park, and Flores is home to Kelimutu's colored lakes and rice terraces.

Where is East Nusa Tenggara?

The province is located in the eastern Lesser Sunda Islands, with the islands of Timor and Flores. Kupang is the capital, on Timor. Labuan Bajo at the western end of Flores is the departure point for the Komodo Islands, reachable by air from Bali and Jakarta.

What to See?

1. Komodo National Park – Komodo Dragons

Komodo National Park is the only place in the world where the Komodo dragon lives. On Rinca and Komodo islands, tours let you see the dragons up close. The park is also famous for diving and snorkeling – Manta Point and Pink Beach are highlights.

2. Kelimutu – Colored Volcanic Lakes

Kelimutu's three crater lakes in central Flores are unique: the lakes' colors change over time (green, blue, black). Sunrise is the most dramatic. Located near Ende.

3. Labuan Bajo and Surroundings

Labuan Bajo is the gateway to the Komodo Islands, a lively port town. Padar Island's viewpoint is iconic; Kanawa and Sebayur islands offer crystal-clear waters. Sunset over the islands is unforgettable.

4. Flores Rice Terraces and Culture

Inland Flores has rice terraces, traditional villages, and ngada culture. Bajawa and surrounding villages (Bena, Wogo) showcase ancient traditions.

5. Timor and Kupang

Kupang is the capital of East Nusa Tenggara, on Timor. Christ King Cathedral and local markets offer insight. The region is less touristy and offers an authentic experience.
