I am an intrepid traveller. Travelling has been my passion since school days. Hailing from the steel city of Rourkela in Odisha, I always had an opportunity to plan out my holidays with my family to exotic destinations that are rich in history and heritage in India. Looking back, I have also taken up trekking in Chauragarh hills of Pachmarhi, Shatrunjaya Hills of Palitana, Vaishno Devi or the Muktinath temple in Mustang Valley in Nepal and Lalang Waterfall in rainforests of Tioman Island in Malaysia. I have penned down the Odisha destinations in Pick2Move-India Travel planner brought out by Sampan Media Limited, New Delhi. I have compiled a travelogue themed- “Journeys across India” published by Best Books, Kolkata. I generally take up travel to pen down travelogues, know the art and craft of the faraway lands and of course, I do travel reporting for leading English dailies of India.

Labuan Bajo in Flores Island

Mediterranean flavours of Labuan Bajo

Flores Island in East Nusa Tenggara Province has a rich biodiversity of marine life and Labuan Bajo being the capital of West Manggarai Regency, tourism plays a significant role in transforming the lives of fisher folks into tourism agents. Diving and snorkelling are the main under water adventure activities for tourists.  During my visit to Labuan Bajo last summer, I had an option to drop in at Tree Top restaurant for dining.

Located at Soekarno in the hub of Labuan Bajo, Tree Top’s USP is to churn out delectable  Indonesian  sea food. Besides, there is Mediterranean food served in the restaurant including the vegeatrian sphagetti punta nasta  which is nothing but Mediterranean pasta. The seven-year-old food outlet overlooking Labuan Bajo harbour provides sound views of Flores Sea while dining.

The entrance of the food bistro flaunts the paintings of Lord Krishna depicting Javanese. The furniture pieces are crafted from iron wood procured from Kelimatu Island.
