Flights to Palu

Palu is the gateway for visitors wishing to visit the Central Sulawesi region of Indonesia. One of the driest places in Indonesia, it is backed by the Gawalise mountain range to the west and the Rovigadi mountains to the east. The city boasts a close proximity to the white sandy beaches of the Taman Ria, Tanjung Karang and Kampung Nelayan (also known as the Fishermen's beach). These beaches, lapped by crystalline waters, offer numerous leisure activities, water sports and excellent diving conditions. Visitors can also access beautiful coral reefs and tropical fish in Pulau Lingayan, further out to sea. One of Palu's other main attractions is the nearby Lore Lindu Natural Reserve.
