Warning: The following article may tempt you to fall in love with seafood. ๐Ÿ™‚

I was in Labuanj Bajo at the invitation of the Tourism Ministry of Indonesia.ย While one can find plenty of restaurants and street food-stalls in Labuan Bajo, Tree Top stands apart.

I had some very delicious food in this four-storey wooden building. When I reached this place, construction was underway and the owner of the restaurant told me that he was planning to extend this place.

Delicious food and a pleasant view of Labuan Bajo harbour, it is one of the best places in the area to relax and have good time.ย Fish, crab, lobster, squid, octopus – the restaurant provides plenty of options for seafood lovers. I tried several dishes, including baby octopus and liked them instantly.

An Introduction To Komodo National Park

If you are a fan of wildlife then there is a strong possibility that you will like Komodo National Park, which was recognised by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites in 1991.

Located between Sumbawa and Flores, the park is home to worldโ€™s largest and also one of the oldest living lizards – the Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis). They can only be found in the Komodo National Park as well as on the islands of Rinca, Nusa Kode, and Gili Motang. However, it is a mystery why these lizards are only found in the above-mentioned places.

I was lucky to witness not just one but four Komodos as my guide told me that it was not easy to spot them every day. While the male one was reticent, the female dragon was quite aggressive.

The guide told me that the park is home to around 2,000 Komodo dragons. Apart from dragons, you can find a variety of birds, tropical plants and wild orchids.
