Overview

Indonesia consists of thousands of islands, and that is exactly the problem for everyone who travels only once: you cannot see everything. Better is the decision for two places with depth, in the travel season from April to October, when the dry season brings clear days. Bali is the well known part, with rice terraces, sea temples and ceremonies that belong to everyday life. Yogyakarta on Java sets a different accent: Borobudur at sunrise and the Hindu temple Prambanan show the history of the region.

Combining both gives you nature and culture in one trip. The journey is long, approx. 14 to 17 hrs with a change, and that argues for a stay of several weeks instead of one week. A visa is required (visa on arrival or eVisa), to be checked before departure with the FDFA (EDA).

Cash remains important away from the centres, and a drinking bottle with a filter saves plastic. In the video call you discuss whether the occasion calls more for stillness or for movement, and choose the islands accordingly.
