\n\t\tKELIMUTU CRATER LAKES ECOLODGE\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\"Kelimutu\n\t

The Kelimutu volcanic crater lakes are situated at 1,400 metres above sea level and the water in the lakes is known to mysteriously change colour. Over the years the lakes have changed from white, turquoise and red, to black and walnut, to stunning shades of green.<\/p>\n\t

For the local Lio people this is a sacred area that runs deep with legend.<\/p>\n

Kelimutu is the home of the spirits of people with special powers.<\/p>\n

For ordinary mortals their spirits enter between the two enormous rocks – Konde (queen) and Ratu (king) found at the side of the road to the National Park, known as Konderatu: The Gate of the Spirits.<\/p>\n\t

EXPLORING FROM KELIMUTU ECOLODGE<\/strong><\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\"Kelimutu\n\t\t\t\t\"Kelimutu\n\t

From the lodge spend some time in our beautiful tropical gardens where we also grow organic fruit, vegetables, rice and soon – our own coffee! You are welcome to explore the property and enjoy the tranquillity of our environment.<\/p>\n

The must-see experience at Kelimutu is the spectacular coloured crater lakes which are breath-taking to see at sunrise. Our tour leaves at 4:30am daily and gets to the lakes before dawn. Most people feel the spiritual call of the lakes as the sun brings warmth to the day.<\/p>\n

On the way down from the lakes, you will hear the songs of the Bare Throated Whistler; which mimics other birds and sounds. Enjoy up to 18 different songs from a single bird!<\/p>\n

From the lodge the village of Moni with its traditional Chief’s house, is only a 15 minute walk away and is a great base for bird watching, hiking and experiencing the fascinating local culture.<\/p>\n

As with all of our Ecolodge experiences we will help you plan the perfect itinerary to make the most of your stay here.<\/p>\n\t
