Kapanlagi.com - The beauty of Indonesia is unquestionable.

If you're starting to get bored with spending your vacation renting cheap villas in Bali, there are various tourist destinations that seem to be endless to discuss, including the following 5 unique and bizarre spots.

Gua Gong, Pacitan

Visiting a cave might not be on your bucket list, but your opinion will change when you visit Gua Gong. Located in Pacitan, this cave is not much different from other caves decorated with stalactites and stalagmites. The uniqueness lies in the sound that comes out when the rocks are struck. Similar to the loud and echoing sound of a gong, many domestic and foreign tourists are curious about this unique destination in East Java.

Kakaban Lake

Jellyfish may look adorable with their round shape and almost transparent body. However, never touch them if you don't want to get stung and experience allergic reactions that can threaten your safety.

But at Kakaban Lake in the Derawan Islands, East Kalimantan, visitors actually come in droves to swim with jellyfish. Initially, this brackish lake was formed from coral that rose to the surface of the sea. Inside, there are jellyfish trapped for thousands of years and have lost their ability to produce toxins. When else can you go snorkeling and take pictures with sea creatures that look like squishy?

Komodo Island

The only habitat for the giant lizard, also known as the Komodo, is in Indonesia. Despite their fierce appearance, many tourists are willing to come and see the existence of this prehistoric creature firsthand.

The number of regulations implemented to protect visitors from being chased and bitten by Komodo does not diminish the enthusiasm of visitors. In addition to taking photos and seeing Komodo being fed, the spots on Komodo Island are also equally exotic, one of which is the pink sandy beach that is so beautiful it makes anyone want to stay here for a long time.

Kambira

A baby's grave turned into a popular tourist destination? Only in Indonesia, precisely in the land of Toraja that still maintains ancestral culture. Famous for its unique funeral ceremonies, Toraja also has a special tomb for babies called Kambira.

Inside this area, there is a Tarra tree that is specifically chosen as a baby's grave because it contains very high sap content. Society believes that this sap can be a substitute for breast milk and the burial process is considered to return the baby to its mother's womb to be born again.

Mount Kelimutu

There are many people who are willing to climb to the top of the mountain to enjoy the beauty of nature. However, Mount Kelimutu, located on Flores Island, East Nusa Tenggara, offers its own uniqueness thanks to its three-color lakes that can be seen when reaching the summit. Not only having different colors, the lake water also changes color due to certain chemical substances at the bottom of the lake.
