Tropical rainforest fringe the mountains, eventually giving way to carefully cultivated rice fields and crop growth.

Komodo is one of 7 wonders of the World, chosen in global voting.

www.new7wonders.com For many years due to very difficult accessibility very limited number of travelers could see famous Komodo dragons and wonderful archipelago of 99 homeless islands which now are Komodo National Park and one of the 7 Wonders. Just recently new small airport was opened on Labuan Bajo ( Flores) which is gateway for Komodo. So now within 90 min flight from Bali this Wonder is available for tourist. Still availability is limited as only small aircrafts can land in Labuan Bajo which still keeps Komodo as an exceptional destination. So far it is only one 5* hotel in Labuan Bajo, most of the hotels offers basic tourist standard accommodation as well as boats which cruise from Labuan Bajo to Rinca and Komodo are very basic standard. Don’t except such a luxury cruising like on Caribbean. Shortest trip from Bali to Komodo is with 1 overnight although most recommended is with 2 or 3 overnights there.
