The Next Getaway



Its been almost a year since my last Indochina Trip and i am ready to do another trip. There were so many ideas about the destinations like Kathmandu or Japan but early next year I already had a quite interesting plan, at least for me, which is to visit the Komodo National Park and Kelimutu Crater. This is going to be a very special trip because of these things; I went to or at least passed through several National Parks Before and going to Komodo Island means one more National Park visited and still many more to go. The next thing is, I am going to visit it my wife so it means that I am going to have another honeymoon and finally yet importantly, I am going to go there by motorcycle.


The plan is to start from Jakarta on New Year’s Eve by train to Yogyakarta to pick my wife and take the morning train to Banyuwangi. My motorcycle should has been shipped there before to shorten the duration because I don’t have many annual leave left and then the trip on my motorbike will be started in Banyuwangi.

On the first day, I planned to get to Lombok Island, so I will pass through Bali Island without taking any night stop there. The next day the plan is to reach Sumbawa Besar or Bima in Sumbawa Island and take a maybe one or two nights there before continuing to Flores Island. To get to Komodo National Park, I am going to leave my motorcycle in Labuan Bajo, the city where most of the Komodo Tours depart, and take a boat. I am not planning to spend too long in Komodo National Park because I have to continue the trip eastward to Kelimutu Crater. Honestly, I still do not have any idea what the places I want to visit next and maybe I will just decide later, but there is one thing that I have planned for the way back home, I will ride my motorcycle to Yogyakarta and maybe will visit Bromo and take the Southern coast route in Java Island.
