On July 17, The Lore Lindu National Park Center has reopened Lake Tambing tourism site. This natural tourism object located in Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi, has been closed for three months due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Head of the Lore Lindu National Park Center, Jusman said Lake Tambing is opened by implementing health protocols to prevent Covid-19 transmission and limit the number of visitors. Besides buying an entry ticket, the tourists must fill their personal data, such as name, address, and telephone number.

Lake Tambing is located at an altitude of about 1,700 meters above sea level. This lake is a bird's paradise with beautiful and fresh atmosphere.  There are around 260 species of birds and 30 percent of them are endemic of Lake Tambing. This means that 30 percent of bird species around Lake Tambing only exist and breed in the local nature. Another uniqueness is the presence of orchids and Leda trees, one of the endemic trees that only grow in Central Sulawesi.

From Palu city, the capital of Central Sulawesi province, traveling to Lake Tambing only takes about 3 hours across the trans-Palu-Napu road. Arriving at the parking area of Lake Tambing, you are required to report yourself to the officer of the Lore Lindu National Park. From the guard post you have to walk for tens of meters into the forest park, then you can see the beautiful lake shrouded in mist. You can feel cold air and the chirping of the birds. You also can enjoying its natural beauty by going around the lake by boat. If you like fishing, you can do it on this lake. It is better to do your trip in Lake Tambing in the morning when the birds come out from their nests.
