Your trip will be imperfect if you visit Kelimutu Lake without seeing the sunrise. Even domestic and foreign tourists compete with each other to catch the light on Lake Kelimutu. You must make your way through the night to the mountain's summit, which requires struggle and sacrifice. But all your tiredness will be instantly replaced by the beauty of the genuinely great sunrise. Enjoy your morning while listening to the birds chirping above the shady trees.
