He was the first person to see the potential of the island has a population of 27,000 souls. Eight years ago he decided to make the site as one of the Raja Ampat sea famous attractions of Indonesia. But why yes, a lot of attractions in Indonesia is managed by foreign parties?

Raja Ampat is a fraction of Sorong regency, since 2003. This district has 610 islands (only 35 islands are inhabited) with a total area of about 46,000 km2, but only 6,000 km2 of land, 40,000 km2, the sea again.

Life of the Primitive
Other attractions in the area of eastern Indonesia's most primitive life it is. There one can find people who are still living through. They still wear koteka, sleeping in honai with modest clothing. They still retain their noble culture until now, except in parts of cities and regions that have been swept away modernization. Other than that, people are still primitive persisted until now. Is the uniqueness of its own if we explore the culture and their lives.
Potential of High Art
Culture and melodious voice and singing talent can also be a citizen of Papua tourism commodity. It's one of the greatness of the Papuans. The sound was indeed given since they were born naturally beautiful. Remember with Michael Herman Jakarimilena, one jebolannya Indonesian Idol? Well, he's from Indonesia's easternmost country is you know. Just as Africans, Papuans are born with the rythme in him. Their talents can be developed quickly.
One Climber Indonesia qibla (Puncak Jaya)
Mount Jayawijaya with one of the highest peak of Carstensz Pyramide is one of the natural attraction given by the Papuans. This peak is one of her Seven Summit of the world.

But the obstacles to try his guts on this mountain is difficult and the cost of licensing. It also makes many dissuade climbers to achieve the roof of Indonesia. To climb this mountain course requires special permission from the government. The reason is because of fear of kidnapping as happened in the year 1995-1996. Mountain climbing permits, primarily to Carstensz Pyramide - in Irian Jaya is complicated and unclear. There is no valid license a piece such as climbing in Nepal where hikers are given a kind of passport complete sheet with photos and captions permission to climb the peak altitude in the area where. To climb this mountain must have a recommendation from Menpora office, Chief of Police, BIA - Indonesian intelligence, Menhutbun / PKA, PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI). Ribet juga ya?

Browse Ancient World in the Park.Indonesia travel
The warm morning sun komodo dragons accompany sunning on a hilltop on the island of Rinca. Ignoring my arrival, a giant lizard that seemed glued to enjoy the expanse of blue sea views combined with a cluster of yellow savanna. A gentle wind that blows my lull late in awe. I still can not believe this ancient see animals at close range, directly in their natural habitat.
Rinca Island is included in the Komodo National Park (KNP), East Nusa Tenggara Province. National park covering an area of 1817 square kilometers located between Sumbawa and Flores island in the Lesser Sunda Islands is an ancient endemic wildlife habitat for Indonesia, Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodonensis). In late 2009, I had the opportunity to visit the island. Although long gone, but his impression was recorded until now.
Natural state is dry and arid region make it a unique island. The existence of vast savannas, limited water resources and hot temperatures, proved to be a habitat favored by the dragons. As far as the eye could see an open field seen by some palm trees towering into the sky against the backdrop of mountains.
Komodo National Park (KNP) was established in 1980. In 1986, then set the Komodo National Park UNESCO as a world natural heritage and biosphere reserves. Currently KNP has a 2500 population of Komodo dragons tail. Ancient animal was spread across three islands there, namely the 1300 tail on the island of Komodo, Rinca Island 1100 tail, and the rest on the island Gilimotang.
Arriving at the Post Rinca, the eyes were treated to a row of skeleton heads of buffalo, deer, horses, and wild boar have ever eaten dragons. Everything fitted neatly. Wizard of Komodo National Park Conservation Center is commonly called the ranger was friendly welcome and then invited me to begin an adventure to see the Komodo dragon up close. Ranger travel guide comes with the main weapon in the form of forked sticks 2.5 meter. Stick that serves to protect yourself is useful to hold the neck or nose when attacking dragons.
The trip opened with treats eight dragons tail under shelter under the kitchen, cooking the usual place ranger. Komodo is very sensitive to the smell of blood and carrion. No wonder if the dragons are assembled because of the smell of fish and meat sniffing around the kitchen. By relying on her sense of smell on his tongue, the Komodo dragon can smell carrion prey as far as 10 kilometers. Bite is poisonous and deadly bacteria, plus a sharp front claws are natural weapons. Also dragons can run 20 kilometers per hour in short distances, climb trees, swim, and even diving.
Still very early, but the sun was so oppressive. Twenty-minute journey to the forest, a komodo dragon with a length of about 2 meters was seen walking along the creek. The guide gave me the code to stop and record it. The moment it is very rare and valuable, I would not waste it.
Komodo IslandTo reach this island, we need the travel time is longer than the island of Rinca. However, the length of the trip was not in vain because the tourists will be amazed by the vast expanse of beach and clean. That's where our next trip.
When the hill toward the sulfur, I found great dragons that were sunning on the beach. If you imagine a fierce bite and claw a strong grip of terrible. But the afternoon was so quiet the dragons sunning. I also thought, between anxiety and awe.Along the way, a few deer (Cervus timorensis) who were hiding behind trees peeking shyly our arrival. Vegetation on the right and left of the path we've been through quite lush, dominated by trees that bore rich fruit acids, as well gebang trees and shrubs. There was a yellow-crested cockatoo birds, cuckoo, and other birds chirp. Meanwhile, behind the bushes, some charred bird foraging.
Arriving at the top of a hill, the hill of sulfur, then most of the landscape of the island of Komodo can be enjoyed. This time we found a slightly different view, because the entire landscape is colored green. Unlike the typically arid with the dominant color of yellow reeds.In both large islands within it, namely the island of Rinca and Komodo Island, ora can be found from the seaside up to the highest peaks on Mount Ora (667 m dpi) on the island of Rinca and Satalibo Mountain (735 m dpi) on the island of Komodo. It's just that these reptiles encountered during the breeding season is difficult. The male was busy chasing females and make their own turf in the middle of wilderness.
Thanks to the presence of National Park, tourists can now see up close the life of dragons are often called ora in this Manggarai language. With a body length of 2-3 meters, Komodo dragons can weigh 70-100 pounds. These giant reptiles suffered the breeding season once a year, ie in July and August. In this season, males will fight fight dragons female.
Name TNK increasingly crowded discussed after last year became the only representative of Indonesia are included in the finalists of the new seven wonders of the world. The existence of dragons on the island as the only relic of ancient animals in the world indeed becomes the main magnet. However, the determination of Komodo Island as a finalist seven wonders of the world are also taking into account the fact that this exotic island is home to hundreds of underwater biota.
KNP at least have 18 best diving and snorkeling spots that spread from the island of Rinca to Komodo Island. Various types of coral reefs, sharks, green turtles and hundreds of species of small fish can be found here. One other interesting spot is the Pink Beach is famous for its sand-colored pink (pink). This beach is visited by many tourists because it has a diving and snorkeling spots of interest. Snorkeling tourists who are usually the opportunity to mingle with stingrays. The eyes are also pampered with a few species of coral reefs. Pink Beach location is not far from the island of Komodo because it's still on the same island. It only takes about 15 minutes to get to the Pink Beach.
The stinging rays of the sun slowly vanished during a full day. Not feel the day was growing late. I visited the ancient wildlife adventure was over. Two boys who play wooden boat with a background of sparkling golden dusk to cover my trip. Tiredness and fatigue were gone in an instant, ready for the next adventure. (AUM)
