Eco-tourism spots in Indonesia:

In one of our previous posts, we've explained and shown quite a bit about tourist spots that are available in Indonesia. Some of these spots also happen to be eco-tourism locations for travel.

1. The Komodo island where massive lizards roam free is a sight to behold as the world's largest species of lizard stroll across the streets. They are native to the island only and this is the only place to find them in their habitat aside man-made habitats in the zoos. We're not sure if we are allowed to feed the lizards but chances are it is not possible as the lizards on the island are wild and might attack us if we threaten them. This spot is also one of the 'must-see' spots if one is planning to explore and experience Indonesia at its finest.

2. One other eco-tourism destination is the Sumatra Ecotravel at Bukit Lawang, where you can enjoy a vacation while being surrounded by Mother Nature. There are plenty of options for getting around the place and riding atop elephants is just one of them. Take to the trails and visit Danau Toba Lake or explore the rainforest around Bukit Lawang.

If you prefer to be surrounded by people and not the company of insects and animals, hang around Berastagi and bond with the locals and learn more about their culture and cuisines. It isn't too far away from Bukit Lawang so heading down shouldn't be too much hassle.

3. Aside Sumatra Ecotravel Bukit Lawang, another great eco-tourism spot is Borneo, Kalimantan, Indonesia. Interactions with Orangutans and bonding sessions can be done here and Borneo is also home to some major rainforests. Kalimantan is famous and well-known for the flora and fauna that can be found in the area where different types of mammals and countless birds make their homes amongst the flourishing forests.

Towards the west of the Kalimantan region, the Betung Kerihun National Park is one of the biggest conservation areas in the area. It is a great area to explore and observe the nature that breathes in the region which is a great place for nature lovers. The locals who live there have a strong and unique culture that can't be missed as well.

Here are a few spots that one can consider when planning an eco-tour to Indonesia and till next time, safe travels everyone!!
