Padar Island

A staircase above Padar's dry ridges leads to the famous panorama of three bays in Komodo National Park.

Climb the 815 steps to the official upper platform and look north across the bays. Book a timed SiOra ticket and go with a ranger or guide; stay inside the safety ropes. The park bars visitors with heart or respiratory conditions, including asthma, from the climb. Carry water, watch for dragons and venomous snakes, and obtain a permit before using a drone.
