Lake Kelimutu, A Perfect Place for Exploring the Extraordinary

Though Mt Kelimutu National Park is the smallest among six national parks between Bali and the Nusa Tenggara islands, it offers one of the most spectacular wonders that nature could offer. There are three lakes on the mountain sharing the same name, Kelimutu, which is mean ‘the boiling lake’. Each lake has its own colors and, based on the local myth; it is believed to be the resting place of departed souls.

The colors of the lakes are always unpredictable as to when and what color they will change into (could be blue, green, black, white, red, or blue). As part of Kelimutu National Park, Lake Kelimutu presents a highly aesthetic value and surreal experience. Kelimutu area is surrounded with forest containing rare floras and faunas. Pines, casuarinas, red wood and edelweiss are growing well in this side of Kelimutu Mountain, while in the other part of the mountain is dried land with highly unstable sand and soil. Local community believes that Kelimutu Mountain is sacred and donates fertility to the nature nearby.
