Komodo Packages
 Most Trips to Indonesia are confined to Island Bali. The so called "Island of the Gods". And you may find an endless number of Stories and Recommendations about it.
But who dares to travel to the other of more than 14 000 Islands beyond Bali that Indonesia consist of? That should be as nearly as impossible. And depending on your time you might be able to visit only a small number of them.
And was mostly impressed by Islands Rinca and Komodo . The beautiful Scenery , Beaches and its notorious " Komodo Dragons". A Promise for an unforgettable unique Experience.
Pulau Komodo, Komodo Island, Indonesia, is one of the most dangerous places in the world. Tropical typhoons rip trees from their roots. Strong currents swirl over the reefs, causing shipwrecks that leave castaways on the island.
A small island at the west side of flores island, Located between sumbawa ( West Nusa Tenggara ) and Flores ( East Nusa Tenggara ), but its still part of flores island , and special managed by west Manggarain Regency Government with the central government at Labuan Bajo. it's almost all hills and barren , except form palm trees and some woods , but its famous for its Giant Lizard , which are considered the last their kind , remaining in the world today . The " KOMODO DRAGON" ( Varanus komodensis) is actually a " Giant Lizard" .

Were moved from sulawesi ( Bugis ) and they are Muslim's. except for those who work at komodo park.

There is no accomodation / hotels, Land transport , industries, and any store.it's really tranquil island. From Labuan bajo, acces about 3.5 hours by Boat .
And during the rainy season, the wet monsoon, the king-cobra and other poisened snakes patrol the island's forests and grasslands. Deadly spiders hang from their webs, ready to jump for a 4 to 5 m. leap. Poisened millipedes march through the underbrush, and rats, as big as grown-up cats, swarm over the kampung-place.
Still feel welcome entering Komodo Island!
Keep silent and wait for the hiss of the Komodo!
And bring a lot of water-in-bottle!
THE DRAGON :
Komodo dragon is the largest lizard in the world. Komodo Island is the only place in the world where the dragon still exist. There are only about 154 dragons left in the national park. They prey on deer, wild boar, wild buffalo and horse. Sometimes Komodo just bite their prey that would eventually die from getting infected by many deadly bacteria in Komodo saliva. Breeding season occurs between July - August. The female can lay up to 30 eggs, which will hatch about 8 months later. The juveniles live on trees and feed on small animals.
This Komodo monitor genus lived its own considerable, evolutionary history and, in the prehistoric past (it's said about 140.000.000 years!), the creature probably lived throughout the entire region from Australia, Timor, Sumba, Flores and other Indonesian islands. Only when later water did separate all of the different islands, then the areas isolation and strong ocean currents assured the legendary monitor's survival. It's true the Varanus komodoensis has the smallest permanent habitat range of any of the world's large carnivores, being confined to Pulau Komodo, Pulau Padar, and Pulau Rinca. But be aware they also inhabit the Westerly tip of the island of Flores ...
Komodo dragons sleep at night and hunt during the day. Some smaller ones may spend their nights in a den. During the day, they follow a weel-known route looking for food. Adult dragons will eat young dragons (included their own kids) if given the chance. Some dragons swim to nearby islands to go for a hunt ... And why mentioning a Goddess? See >>>
Happy Adventure !!!!
