  Kelimutu : Adventure to the Three colored Lakes HOME  > Indonesia > Flores >    Kelimutu : Adventure to the Three colored Lakes Some people may only dream about trekking to  Mt Kelimutu  on the island of Flores with its three colored lakes, while others make it a reality. The challenging trip in a rented polished 7-seater car can make one entertained for hours because of the endless winding road. However, being shaken by the sharp curves in the road that cuts through the 350-km long Flores Island is a worthy price to pay to witness the ultimate top-drawer panoramas that  The Island of Flores   has to offer.
