Kelimutu, Flores, Indonesia
Looking down over the small village of Moni, Kelimutu truly is a sight to behold. The incredible 3 lakes coloured green, chocolate and black are a natural phenomenon. Making a trip here travelling by boat and bus from Bali is certainly not easy. We spent 2 days of solid travel to get there. After negotiating with the tauts getting lied to about a ferry not running, the bus setting on fire, waiting an entire day being stared at in a grotty port and sleeping on a concrete floor of a ferry we finally made it, and it was breathtaking…
[...] test of character but also an eye opening experience. Travel over land to Labuhanbajo, Bajawa and Kelimutu on the island of Flores and fly [...]

kelimutu has a nice view… wanna go there, but its quite far from here.., i live in samosir, toba lake
francine, sorry for not reply sooner, your comment slip passed me! I dont think you need anything special for Indonesia, just the usual things, its generally hot but if you going up to kelimutu, its an early start and its quite cold so you'll need some warm clothes too.
wow…nice view..How far is it from Bali ???

Yeah… Nice lake… ^^ Do you know if the lake has an interesting story about the meaning of the color of the lake water? Amazing… ^^v
I remember being told about the meaning behind the colours but unfortunately my memory fails me now.

i am planning to go to Flores around the 31st of July (as in the end of this week)
but am traveling solo, and would love to meet a companion, or two, three etc…
anyone reading this happen to be going that way?
I work in Yogya and only have 10 days for vaycay, but am planning on flying into either Maumere or Labuan Bajo, or the reverse.
Kelimutu, is a name of a volcano on the island of Flores, Indonesia. Last erupted in 1870 so raises three watery pit craters. The water content have many kinds of minerals, if the type of minerals in the water changed, it will make the water color change.
Amazing destination, I hope to go there next year. How was Flores compared to the other islands in Nusa Tenggara? Did you go to Sumbawa?
Indonesia has so many beautiful places. Indonesia is one of my favorite countries. Next time, i suggest you to visit Kawah Putih in West Java, it’s so beautiful..
that place is so cool. get up there for sunset for a picture perefect moment!
