Komodo National Park is the real deal when you are looking for an opportunity to travel back in time. On the brink of extinction, Komodo dragons are native to East Nusa Tenggara and can be found in the national park that consists of three larger islands: Komodo, Padar and Rinca. Founded in 1980, the park was created to protect these giant lizards and other native species, including those who live under water. In 1991 the park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Komodo National Park is located in the Lesser Sunda Islands between the Island of Sumbawa and Flores. The gateway to Komodo is arguably the island of Bali. While most visitors to Komodo National Park enter through the gateway cities of Bima in eastern Sumbawa, or Labuanbajo in the west of Flores, the true departure point is actually Bali. Both Bima and Labuanbajo are serviced by regularly scheduled flights that depart daily from Denpasar to Bima, Denpasar to Labuan bajo.
