Komodo is situated approximately 200 nautical miles (370 Km's) east of Bali between the islands of Flores and Sumbawa. Komodo's symbol of international fame is it's dragons, the world's largest living lizard. Indonesia declared Komodo as a National Park in 1980, and in 1992 it was declared a World Heritage Site. It protects 239,000 hectares including 75,000 hectares of land on four major and numerous minor islands. As with most of Indonesia, Komodo rises up from a volcanic region of tectonic uplift, rising between two great continental plates. This string of volcanic islands of Eastern Indonesia make up the south western reaches of what is known as the "Ring of Fire". Both above and below the sea, Komodo represents a unique range of geological and biological diversity. On shore it is an amazing museum diorama of the Mesozoic era - dry tundra and reptilian supremacy. With densly wooded valleys, rich with bird and terrestrial life.  In addition to the world famous Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis), the larger inhabitants are buffalos, Rusu deer, monkeys, pigs, and horses. Further down the scale, indigenous frogs, snakes and lizards abound on the island, not to forget the aptly named endemic Komodo Rat. Over 150 species of birds have been identified in Komodo National Park, many of which are migratory and more representative of Australasian than Asiatic species. Distinctive species include Megapodes, Yellow-Crested Cockatoos, Imperial Pigeons, White-breasted Sea Eagles and Maleos. | |||||||||||||||||

Labuan Bajo – West Flores
LOCATION:
Bidadari Island resort is a small island to the West of Labuanbajo, Flores, which is in the Lesser Sundas province, East of Bali
The name Indonesia has its roots in two Greek words: “Indos” meaning Indian and “Nesos” which means islands. It is an appropriate description of the archipelago as there are estimated to be a total of 17,508 islands, of which only about 6,000 are inhabited, stretching for 5,150 km between the Australian and Asian continental mainland’s and dividing the Pacific and Indian Oceans at the Equator.
Five main islands and 30 smaller archipelagoes are home to the majority of the population.
The main islands are Sumatra (473,6O6 sq.km), Kalimantan 1539,400 sq.km), Sulawesi l 189,216 sq. km), Irian Jaya (421,981 sq. km), and last but not least Java (132,187 sq.km), home to 70 percent of the country’s population. Indonesia shares Irian Jaya with Papua New Guinea and two thirds of the island of Kalimantan with Malaysia and Borneo.
The islands and people of Indonesia constitute the fourth most populated nation in the world. As a democratic republic, Indonesia is divided into 32 provinces, special territories and classified geographically into four groups.
First are the Greater Sundas, made up of the larger islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan and Sulawesi.
Second are the Lesser Sundas, consisting of smaller islands from Bali eastward to Timor.
Third is Maluku which includes all the islands between Irian Jaya and Sulawesi.
The fourth and final group is lrian Jaya in the extreme eastern part of the country
