Positive signs are already there. The latest edition of National Geographic Adventure Travel features the prehistoric-looking dragons of Komodo in Nusa Tenggara as one of the 25 best new trips in the world. The Kaliandra foundation is developing a one-week trekking tour to 3,339-meter-high Arjuna mountain in East Java.
What’s needed now is a one-stop source for complete information on the available adventure spots - how to get there, where to stay and what sights, if any, to look out for.
