Kelimutu Crater Lakes eco Lodge
The Wilsons have just returned from a trip through Flores, part of which, was spent in the village of Moni inspecting the development of our new lodge (The Kelimutu Crater Lakes eco Lodge). The Lodge is being built under the management of Putu Febri (Balinese and Chief Engineer of Ecolodges Indonesia) and is over 30% complete. Situated on a beautiful site beside a permanent river, it should be open by July 2010. This is going to be another gem of a lodge and is a credit to Meryl Wilson’s design skills and her ability to work cohesively with Pak Putu. Travel agents who specialise in the Trans Flores Safari (an upcoming tourist route) are clamouring for rooms in this lodge. It is hoped it will bring business to the Kelimutu National Park and play a significant role in its protection and conservation. The main attractions will the unique lakes, the birds and hiking through beautiful scenery.
