Komodo National Park – UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Komodo National Park is located in Komodo Island, which is situated near the main port Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara. It was inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991 due to the presence of the world’s protected Komodo dragon. This park has some major attractions: lush reefs, manta point, pink beach and Komodo dragons park. Komodo dragons are carnivorous reptiles whose saliva is poisonous for humans. Watch out for the presence of those big lizards and pay thorough attention to the direction provided by the local guides when you are at Komodo site.
