Lesser Sundas [2025]


Finally back to Indonesia! Our last trip to Indonesia was in 2018 (Sumatra and West Papua) so this was long overdue. This was our third trip to Indonesia. We had three weeks in which we birded the Lesser Sundas and since Denpasar was a logical hub for the trip, we added a week in Bali and East Java. The last week we were joined by friends Vivian Jacobs and Marten Hornsveld (after which they continued to West Java & Sumatra) – our last week is included in their report (which follows later). This trip report focuses on the 3-weeks in the Lesser Sundas islands of Lombok, Sumba, Alor, Rote, Timor, Flores and Komodo. Excellent birding, great food, great people. Indonesia is still at the top of countries with most new lifers, so we will back soon!
