Overview

Nusa Tenggara refers to Indonesia’s chain of islands east of Java and Bali, administratively grouped mainly into two provinces:
  • West Nusa Tenggara (NTB): centred on Lombok and Sumbawa (capital Mataram).
  • East Nusa Tenggara (NTT): a large province of 500+ islands, with major islands including Flores, Sumba, and West Timor (capital Kupang).

What Nusa Tenggara is best for

  • Komodo National Park (NTT): famous for the Komodo dragon and dramatic island/seascapes; located between Sumbawa and Flores.
  • Clear-water islands, reefs, and boat trips are a big draw across both NTB and NTT (especially around Flores/Komodo and the smaller island groups)
  • Nusa Tenggara includes striking volcanic landscapes—e.g., Kelimutu’s crater lakes on Flores (NTT).
  • Known for diverse local cultures (many languages/ethnic groups), plus signature traditions like ikat weaving and ceremonies such as Pasola (Sumba).
