Komodo National Park

Komodo National Park, located in the West Flores Islands in Indonesia, is a UNESCO conservatory site where tourists can have close encounters with almost 2500 legendary Komodo dragons.

The Komodo National Park, undoubtedly Indonesia’s paradise is a well-preserved destination that brims with life — apart from the Komodo dragon, the verdant green forests are home to buffalos, deer, monkeys, different birds, and the surrounding sea is filled with turtles, manta rays, sharks, dolphins, and different kinds of fishes. On Rinca Island, tourists can see firsthand how Komodo dragons thrive in their natural habitat — if you’re lucky, you can see them in action while they are at play, or while they’re hunting prey. If you don’t see a dragon, which is rare, on your trip to the national park, you don’t need to fret because there are other scenic sights and interesting animals that would compensate for that.
