Therefore, we take you today among the largest islands that make up this group, “Nusa Tenggara Islands.” Most of these islands have become popular and famous travel destinations, some of which compete with the most attractive tourist places in Indonesia.

West Nusa Tenggara

We start our journey from Lombok , which is located immediately after the island of Bali and its current competitor, and can be easily reached by speedboat or by flight from most Indonesian cities. It is located in the far west of the Nusa Tenggara island group, and is characterized by beaches, waterfalls and volcanoes, and is also famous for the three Gili Islands.

Sumbawa Island is located east of Lombok, and it is the largest area and is characterized by its mountainous terrain and its lack of tourist infrastructure. It is less famous for tourism than Lombok, Komodo and Florence, but it includes a wonderful atoll for diving called "Moyo".

East Nusa Tenggara

To the east of Lombok and Sumbawa, you can also reach cruises to the Komodo National Park, which includes the islands of Rinca, Komodo, and other small islands. The park is known as the only home in the world for the largest lizards in the world, known as "Komodo."

After that, you can reach the island of Flores, which is a long island with a vast area and wide fame as well, located between Sumbawa in the west and Lembata in the east and presents a number of natural wonders, the most famous of which are the volcanic lakes of three different colors.

In the south of Nusa Tenggara there is the island of Sumba, which is a center of ancient places and historical monuments and includes many resorts in the eastern side, with white sandy beaches and opportunities for various sports activities.

At the eastern end of the archipelago, you can reach the island of Timor, which was divided and the independence of East Timor from Indonesia , while West Timor remained. On the island is the city of Kupang, which is the capital of the province of East Nusa Tenggara.

And last but not least, "Alor Island", which is located in the far east of the Nusa Tenggara Islands and is the least visited island, but it is an ideal destination for those interested in the life of the virgin island or the huge volcanoes and picturesque beaches.
