Padar Island, a Unique Island

 

Padar Island is located in the province of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, is the third largest island in the Komodo National Park area, after Komodo Island and Rinca Island. Maybe the existence of Padar Island is not as famous as Komodo Island or Rinca Island, but the beauty of Padar Island is no less beautiful than the two islands.  

The location of Padar Island tends to be closer to Rinca Island than the distance to Komodo Island and is separated by the Lintah Strait.  

Padar Island is also accepted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, because it is in the territory of the Komodo National Park, together with Komodo Island, Rinca Island and Gili Motang. Even though it is within the Komodo National Park area, Padar Island is not inhabited by komodos due to a broken food chain. Around this island there are also three or four small islands which have their own unique panorama.

And on Padar Island there is also a stretch of pink beach which is very suitable for just swimming, playing in the water or having fun snorkeling. Visitors can also climb the hill on Padar Island to enjoy the panoramic beauty from above.  

The blue sea and the surrounding islands will hypnotize visitors. Even though trekking to the highest hill will feel very tiring, visitors will be presented with panoramic views of the hills and very beautiful views and capturing the moment will be an activity that you will never get tired of during your trekking trip. If you are planning to visit Komodo National Park, try to stop for a while on this island, the serenity and beauty will make you feel at home for long on this island.
