Chasing Dragons

Hello, I’m Lukman! Growing up in Indonesia, a land of breathtaking islands and vibrant cultures, I developed an early love for adventure and discovery. My childhood was filled with trips to lush jungles, serene beaches and towering volcanoes – each journey fueling my curiosity and passion for the natural world.

Today, as an Executive Manager at ICS Travel Group Indonesia, I’m fortunate to weave my love for exploration into my work, crafting unforgettable travel experiences that highlight the beauty of our
region. Whether it’s uncovering hidden gems or revisiting iconic destinations, every journey brings something new and inspiring.

Last November, I had the opportunity to explore Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its pristine beauty and unique wildlife. I stayed at the luxurious AYANA Komodo Resort,
where the tranquil views of the ocean and world-class hospitality made it the perfect base for my adventure.

During my day trip to the National Park, I was captivated by the stunning landscapes and vibrant marine life. Padar Island offered panoramic views of its iconic bays, while the Pink Beach dazzled with its unique blush-colored sands. Meeting the Komodo dragons on Komodo Island was an unforgettable experience, a glimpse into the age of dinosaurs. At Manta Point, I snorkeled alongside graceful manta rays and Taka Makassar’s sandbar felt like a surreal oasis in the middle of the sea. Every moment in Komodo reminded me of Indonesia’s extraordinary diversity and the importance of preserving these natural wonders for future generations.

As 2024 unfolds, I look forward to more adventures and opportunities to share the magic of Indonesia with travelers from around the world. Wishing you a joyful holiday season filled with warmth, peace and unforgettable journeys!
