Introduction
The sheer scope of Indonesia’s 17,000 or more scattered tropical islands means that the opportunities for adventure are as diverse as its multi-cultured people. Bali may be the tourist heart of the nation, but there is so much more to uncover, from dense rainforests and volcanic landscapes to deserted white-sand beaches.

Experiences
Indonesia’s best established tourist routes revolve around a handful of islands. Java is home to the dynamic capital city of Jakarta, along with Yogyakarta, a city of culture that’s also a gateway to some of Indonesia’s most popular ancient monuments. The spectacular beaches, lush mountainous heart, acclaimed cuisine and nightlife of Bali attracts visitors from across the globe, as do its quieter neighbours such as Lombok and Komodo, home of the eponymous dragons. Java’s Borobodur predates Cambodia’s Angkor Wat and is one of the world’s most impressive Buddhist temples. The nearby towering 9th century Hindu temple complex of Prambanan is equally inspiring. Imposing Mount Bromo is a sight to behold and a notoriously active volcano. It can be safely viewed on a sunrise jeep tour to neighbouring Mount Penanjakan. Visit a batik workshop for a handson experience in crafting your very own traditional garment in the iconic Indonesian style. For a virtually unspoiled alternative to Bali, it’s a short boat ride to Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida for a day trip or overnight stay.
Areas of Indonesia
Bali: Famous for its pristine beaches, shimmering turquoise waters, stunning serene resorts, volcanic mountains, terraces embroidered with green rice paddies and lush verdant forests, Bali has much to offer. The superlative cuisine and excellent Balinese hospitality coupled with the natural beauty create magical memories at every turn.
Jakarta: Founded on the sight of the ancient pepper trading port of Sunda Kelapa, modern Jakarta has developed into one of Asia’s most dynamic metropolitan centres with modern buildings and high-end shopping centres supplementing its colonial architecture. From sleek high-rise hotels to buzzing cafés and restaurants, Jakarta offers everything in one place. This sleepless city has many faces and surprises waiting to be discovered.
