Great trek where we were alone with our guide Santos 00 62 822 47742528. The ascent was very steep(+-3h) and began at 3am, for the last part , it is better to have gloves as the volcanic rock is very sharp. The descent was done with another way where we were sliding/ surfing on rocks. Santos was a great, nice and funny guide. His cousin has just opened a backpacker hostel near the starting point of the trek. We had a good coffee at her place. We keep good memories of this day with Santos. Take care :).

To get there it is boat ride from Labuan Bajo - day trip possible but most go for a few days. Most boats aim to get to Padar for sunrise or sunset so it's busy. Ours arrived early and it was still hot so we climbed to summit earlier than most and then went down and climbed the other summit - which is a very narrow slippery treacherous track (which guides discourage) But, we did it discretely and were alone on this summit for sunset and avoided crowds at the top. Generally hot in middle of day and climbing summit would be very hard - so avoid unless cooler.

Kelimutu volcano is located 50 km east of Ende, central Flores on a road that climbs through several small villages and rice terraces into a dense rainforest near the summit. The volcano is in a national park, and there is a fee to enter: not much for locals and foreign Indonesian work visa holders, and more for tourists (about US$15). From a parking area a few hiking trails go up to the summit, which features 3 steep-sided craters with actively roiling multi-colored lakes. On a clear day you can see gases bubbling to the surface and a sulfide scum on the surface of the first two lakes. The local lake names are Tiwu Ata Bupu (Lake of Old People - blue), and the other two lakes, Tiwu Ko'o Fai Nuwa Muri (Lake of Young Men and Maidens - bluish-green) and Tiwu Ata Polo ("Villany" Lake - red) are separated by a shared crater wall. The lake colors are attributed to gas & steam vents on the bottom of two of the crater lakes that discharge CO2 and H2S gases from a magma chamber deep beneath the mountain. The lake colors change throughout the year due to different chemical oxidation and reduction reactions between rain water, ground water, the amount and composition of the rising volcanic gases, and the abundance of iron and manganese. The colors in the lakes change independently from each other, suggesting that each crater lake has its own unique connectivity to the underlying magma chamber.

We met Melki at Lucas Lodge. He suggested a tour - part motor bike, part trek - to four Ngada villages, followed by a visit to the Malange hotsprings. This is a fairly standard offer but what made it exceptional was Melki. He is a great guide. His English is excellent, and he was full of informations on the Ngada community structure and history. He also went out of his way during our trek to identify for us clove, eucalyptus, cinnamon, the root used in the making of tiger balm, etc. Though he is serious about his work, Melki is also a lot of fun to be with, and so is his colleague Christian. We recommend them both. Melki can be reached via WhatsApp at 082237599, or ask for him at Lucas

A beautiful village to wander around and admire the traditional architecture of the buildings and smile and chat with the local ladies and see the exquisite weaving that they produce by hand. You can purchase these as well from the local ladies. Very laid back and peaceful. Thanks to my guide Elvis +6285238587238 who gave me a great explanation and history lesson of the village and it’s people. Well worth the visit if you are staying in Bajawa.

It really does have pink sand. And wonderful snorkeling in clear warm turquoise waters. We arranged with Komodo Eco Tours to take us to the beach after a short trek to see the Komodo dragons.
