What are the Top 3 Things to Do in Luwuk

Salodik Waterfall - The waterfall is lovely, the spot a bit far from Luwuk, so you need to consume several hours to reach the waterfall and go back to Luwuk region. Locals say you can swim and dive in here but not when there’s a flood from the continues rain.

Teletubbies Hill - Beautiful Teletubbies in common but since we have visited Bukit Wairinding in Sumba, of course, it's no difference. We arrived here instead late, almost sunset but can still enjoy the beauty of the hill.

Inspiration Hill - As someone who doesn't have a lot of seas to see at every day, this was a new experience. Some friends I made in town suggested I visit there, and it was well worth the little drive up. There's a resting area where you can chill out and enjoy the view. Snacks and beverages are also available.
