Looking for a fun-filled adventure? Well, Indonesia is the perfect place for you! Java and Bali are the two islands of Indonesia that continue to be favourite destinations for travellers with memorable monuments, extraordinary lush landscapes and sunny coasts.
Java has beautiful monuments and more than a hundred volcanoes to completely satisfy your need for adventure. Built in the ninth century, the Buddhist complex of Borobudur is a masterpiece of world architecture. You can satisfy your adventurous side by watching the greatest epic folk tale of all time, Ramayana, performed each year between May and October at Borobudur. Are you feeling religious? Go and visit one of the eight enthralling Hindu temples on the plateau of Dieng or the famous Prambanan temple. Need something more exciting and maybe a little dangerous? Climb Mount Semeru, the highest mountain on the island, and see above the clouds. Surrounded by the Sand Sea, Mount Bromo is another magnificent mountain to climb and to see the picturesque views of the lush landscape below, especially at sunrise.
Would you love to learn more about Indonesian culture? Bali is the ideal island for you with its amazing cultural heritage, landscapes and coasts. With world-famous links to culture and tradition, Bali has a myriad of traditional dances for you to watch. The dancers whisk gracefully across the stage and move in serpentine ways to the melody of the gamelan in order to mesmerize and excite you. Do you love to surf? Hop on a bemo ( Group taxi ) to the beaches in the North to spend a quiet day at the beach. Hike up Mount Batur to have a birds-eye view of its beautiful caldera and the mosaic of the terraces of green rice fields surrounding the crater lake.
