One of the things I wanted to see on the Bali leg. Only I took this tour because it required a lot of hiking. There are several park ranger assigned to protect the tour which offered two walking tours - a short and long tour. Both included the gathering point where Komodo Dragons gather. A short distance after it the group was offered a shorter route back. About half opted for it and the rest of ...

Komodo dragons hardly move and they misdirected us as to which trail to take.
The shorter one was just as good as the lengthier.
Tenders were poorly used. ...
