 The
allure of this remarkable nation lays in the fact that each island
maintains its own individual character. The most popular island, Bali,
is home to a unique Hindu culture, as shown in the picture left, while
Java is a mixture of Hindu, Buddhism and Islamic cultures and Sumatra
mainly Muslim. The islands also boast extraordinary natural beauty. |
| Outside of the capital city, Jakarta, Java's Borobudur
Temple and the temples at Prambanan
are popular Buddhist and Hindu sites (respectivley)as well as the beaches
at Pangandaran. On Bali, the beaches
are popular as well as hiking
the volcano, or browsing the many stores
and galleries in Ubud. On Sumatra, come in close contact
with the orangutans
at the Gunung Leuser Orangutan Rehablitiation Centre. There is also
an orangutan
preserve on the island of Borneo.
Other islands include Lombok
and the Gili Islands and more. Indonesia's many undiscovered
beaches and wildlife have made it a popular item on Equator's "Favorites"
list accessible from the menu above. For an armchair tour of Indonesia, click the Photo Tour or Video Tour buttons to the left. Ready to plan your trip? Use the Trip Planner at left to map out all the details. Explore. Relax. Enjoy. Destination: Indonesia. |
