Komodo National Park

Komodo National Park includes Komodo Island, Rinca Island, Padar Island, and others, 29 It is a national park consisting of volcanic islands.
From its nature and ecosystem
1991 It was also registered as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in the year.
The first step in taking a boat trip around these beautiful islands is to fly from Bali to Flores.
When I arrived at the airport and looked back, I immediately saw a Komodo dragon all over the wall.
Expectations are high for the Komodo dragon mood airport.

Arrived at Komodo Island!

Board the ship, Finally, we went to Komodo Island.
Since the name of the island is Komodo, you can meet Komodo dragons.
When you land on the island, you will be greeted by a deer on the shore.

I wonder if these deer will also be eaten by Komodo dragons... While thinking about it, I immediately trekked around the island.
The excitement is heightened by the tropical forest reminiscent of Jurassic Park.
After walking for a while, I saw a crowd of people. Finally, the long-awaited Komodo dragon
I met…

The wild face that made you feel the aura of carnivorous on its big body was very cool.

Komodo dragon outbreak

Next to Rinca Island.
The island has a larger population of Komodo dragons than Komodo Island, so it is relatively easy to encounter them.
They are resting all over the island, and when you open the toilet, you can find a Komodo dragon...!

When you're not hungry, it's relatively calm and doesn't move much like a figurine.
Taking advantage of the fact that it wasn't moving, I tried to take a photo that looked like I was touching it using perspective, but the local guide got angry and said, 'Do you have a death wish?!'
The opponent is a highly venomous carnivore. If you are bitten, it can be life-threatening. Let's listen carefully to what the guide says...

Lots of paradise-like scenery!

In fact, Komodo National Park has more attractions than Komodo dragons.
One is Padar Island. Once you arrive on the island, you aim for the summit by trekking.
When I reached the top and looked back, there was a beautiful scenery.
I am impressed by the superb view of the beautiful blue sea and the characteristic island with three coves.

And the spot that is sure to look good on Instagram is Pink Beach.
It is a fantastic pink beach. What you see pink is a broken red coral.
The beautiful contrast between pink and blue was truly paradise.
