Indonesia : East Nusa Tenggara
East Nusa Tenggara  The East Nusa Tenggara province is a string of over five hundred islands, many of them are uninhabited, set like pearls in the sparkling blue sea. The islands are nothing less than tropical fantasies: pristine white beaches fringed by towering coconut palms, spectacular coral reefs that lure visitors to explore their exotic marine life, and fascinating local cultures welcoming guests with their warmth and color. Kupang, on the island of Timor, is the province’s capital. A relaxed waterfront town offering visitors an introduction to the region’s culture and a comfortable base from which to begin explorations.
Flores Island - its name taken from the Portuguese word for flower - is a stunningly beautiful destination, studded with volcanoes and deep mountain lakes, and bordered by some of the best beaches anywhere. Komodo Island is also a popular destination, offering travelers a glimpse of one of the most fascinating sights anywhere in the world: the Komodo Dragon, a giant monitor lizard, which grows up to four meters in length and is the direct descendant of creatures that roamed the earth half a million years ago. |
