Bagging It!

Doro Ora is the highest point of Rinca island – regarded by many as the finest place for diving in Asia. Nearby Sumbawa and Flores islands are both served by flights from Bali’s Denpasar airport and many travel agents offer tours to Rinca and neighbouring Komodo island. The peak itself is easily reached but take a guide with you incase you meet any aggressive Komodo dragons!

Location

Origins and Meaning

‘Doro’ is the local word for hill and ‘Ora’ means komodo dragon. So, “Hill of Komodo Dragons” or ‘Komodo Dragon Hill” might be acceptable translations.
