Visiting in October 2018, the Komodo National Park was somewhat disappointing. The landscape is barren and sandy. Especially in October (end of dry season), most trees shed their leaves thus giving the impression of a dead or at least dying place. Here, I would definitely recommend other national parks in southeast Asia.

The highlight of KNP is anyhow what you will find under water. For divers, Komodo offers a variety of amazing marine life, including manta rays, sharks, moray eels, and green turtles.
