20 DAYS

 

Wow, 20 days, that would be fantastic. Now and then I have guest who indeed travel that long but for most people time is an issue.


East to West

 

The see's & do's are just an example.
For a complete list please check this part to choose your own points of interest.
I only made one itinerary. If you wish you can change routes and ad or change the number of nights. See also the programs of 10 and 12 days

Blue marked are the must sees, the most visited POI'S and yellow marked aren't yet popular and not often visited but definately worthwhile.
Of course you also can travel the other way around, eg start in Labuan Bajo.
Be aware that you can't visit all mentioned places. Please make your choice and talk with your driver what is possible.
