Kelimutu National Park
#nationalparks
The road to get here is indeed a bit of a struggle. The winding road almost all the way to the top, but you can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the right and left of the road (if you pass it in the morning, afternoon, evening). Be careful because the road is not too wide to pass other vehicles from the opposite direction.
When you arrive at the gate of Kelimutu National Park, you will be asked to pay an entrance fee, don't worry, it's still very affordable. Then you continue your journey to the parking area above about 15 minutes from the gate. Here you can relax for a moment, toilets are available and separated for men and women. If you are a coffee lover, there are several stalls selling snacks and drinks here.
You can continue your journey to Lake Kelimutu by following a fairly clean path, there are even concrete stairs to make the journey easier. The road is uphill about 20-30 degrees along the way, you can relax for a moment at several points on the road. About 30 minutes away, you will arrive at Lake Kelimutu with a very beautiful view. Be careful if you want to take pictures, don't go beyond the fence. If you still have the energy, please climb to the highest peak on Mount Kelimutu, around 1600 above sea level and you will get a view that you will never forget.
