➸ My Indo Travel Planning Kit: www.back-packer.org/IndoKit
Diving into the heart of Indonesia, we're setting our sights on the ever-popular Bali, exploring not only the famed hotspots but also its lesser-known gems to help us understand Bali's distinct role in Indonesia.
As we journey beyond Bali, we'll uncover the untouched beauty of Flores, where natural splendor meets traditional charm. Then, we'll set sail on a thrilling adventure to the fascinating islands of the Komodo National Park. Proving that Indonesia's magic extends far beyond Bali's borders.

This Flores & Bali Travel Documentary is the second part of a Documentary Series called „Indonesia is not only Bali“. While many visitors mainly focus on Bali alone, Indonesia with its more than 17,000 islands offers a wealth of incredible destinations each with its unique charm and attractions.
Therefore my plan was to visit a number of different destinations to showcase the diversity of the country to the best of my ability. Bali is the jewel of Indonesia's tourism crown and stands distinct amongst its sister islands. A destination celebrated for its unique fusion of lush landscapes, historic temples, and vibrant arts, it also boasts a highly developed tourism infrastructure welcoming visitors from around the globe.
In order to show you the whole diversity of Indonesia we tried to cover the majority of sights in this Bali Documentary from the north over the center to the south as well as the temples and waterfalls.
Beyond its mesmerizing landscapes, Flores is the gateway to the Komodo National Park, a realm where ancient dragons roam and pristine waters await with colorful marine life. This segment promises a journey into untouched Indonesia, diving deep into Flores' heart and the mysterious world of Komodo.
You can use this Flores, Komodo & Bali Documentary to plan your own trip to Bali, Flores and the Komodo NP on my website you’ll find all essential information needed.

I just came back from Labengki and Sombori in Southeast Sulawesi, the beaches are definitely much more beautiful than Bali. For culture, Tana Toraja has a really unique tradition and exquisite funerary rites. It was a trip of my lifetime.

Binge consuming all these Bali videos for days now for my trip in June, i must say this is one of the best so far. This will be my 2nd time in Bali, the first being June last year, stayed for a week, where I mainly stayed and explored Kuta, Ubud. Lord i missed out on a lot! I'm looking forward to my 2 weeks this June now that I learned more to help me plan for the trip. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. 🥰

I’m really enjoying this series! What wonderful life experiences you’ve had. I recently got home from Bali and already miss it but have found myself extremely curious about what the rest of Indonesia has to offer. In particular, Java. Loved that video and your tips. Thank you 😊✌️

[@newshound99]

Oh ps i went into the water temple last year. I didn’t film/ photograph it, it was just for us. It felt like a really special, slightly spiritual, experience.

[@BackPackerSteve]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@BackPackerSteve]

Thanks for the feedback - look, I'm not here to tell people not do it. I just wanted to share my own perspective on it and personally think it's fine to do so if it's meant to be an honest experience in line with the local traditions/rules rather than doing it for the gram.

[@newshound99]

Hey :) no I get it - but you asked the question on your doco. I do agree with what you said though. It felt too important to the local community to trivialise it with posed pics. Thanks for your reply and good luck with the rest of your travels ☀️

[@barunasetiaji1442]

[@samsulbarqi4731]

Wow very amazing

[@mantapjava]

Beautiful video! BTW, the fact that you were able to retrieve your camera is a testament to the honesty of Balinese people. If that had been any other place, including in Western countries, you probably would not have seen the camera again....

Sehr schöne Doku :) ich würde mich auch über eine deutsche Version freuen. Ein kleiner Tipp am Rande: ohne den Filter wäre es angenehmer zu schauen. Ich weiß, dass es in der Regenzeit etwas grau werden kann, aber das ist gar nicht weiter schlimm, es kann sogar cinematisch wirken. Freue mich auf die nächsten Episoden.

[@epongmulyati5594]

Have you ever gone to Cocos island in Aussie? It is very much beautiful islands. Right, Indonesia is bad in managing the rubbish. It makes us so sad. I am happy that you showed us the bad part of Bali, I hope this video will be watched by the indonesian government especially by Bali govt, so then they care and support the foreigners' project of recycling rubbish. Thanks bro

Interesting take on tourists and the water purification, I agree, many unfortunately are there for the photo opp… being a photographer myself, I’m very interested in documenting the culture when I travel, I was there, and spent some time photographing others, when it was my time to do the ritual I put my camera away, and focused on the spiritual practise, unfortunately a local photographer was following me and decided to click my photo as I entered the first waterfall, I had already told him I did not want any photos, so I had to tell him again , no pictures! A sad reality of How tourism has spoiled the authentic cultural experience. Fortunately I found another place that felt more authentic , and less touristy.
