First Look In Indonesia

Conjuring up images of the mystical east, Indonesia is a wonderful blend of culture and scenery. As the world's largest archipelago, it is home to 18,330 islands and 167 active volcanoes. Indonesia's extreme geographical diversity boasts plenty of fantastic experiences including laid-back beach vacations, adventures, great value resorts, boutique retreats, and high-end hideaways.

Population: 272,007,676 (as of Dec,2019)
Area: 1,811,570 Km2 (699,451 sq. miles)
Capital: Jakarta
Time Zone: UTC + 7 hours
Weather: With a tropical climate, Indonesia has two seasons; the dry season (April to October), and the monsoon season, (November to March). The weather is hot and humid temperatures all year. However, the pesky monsoon can make traveling to some islands tricky. Generally, the best time of year to visit Indonesia is between May and September when the days are dry and sunny.

In some regions, there's a not marked difference between the two seasons: Bali and Kalimantan, for example, are relatively unaffected by the season change, but the contrast typically grows as you travel further east into the Nusa Tenggara region (to the islands of Lombok, Flores and beyond) where there is a greater chance of flooding during the wet season and droughts in the dry.

Intriguing Indonesia

With over 17,000 islands spanning from South East Asia across to Oceania, travelers are spoilt for choice. Indonesia is considered as heaven on earth for a beach vacation. You can find remote paradise in Komodo, chill in Bali – a top honeymoon destination than explore some of the world’s most famous temples in Yogyakarta and be amazed at a million other things. The people on the islands are as radically different from each other as the variety of landscapes, and most travelers get there are attracted by deep and rich cultures, from the mysteries of the spiritual Balinese to the ancient animist belief system of the Asmat people of Papua, etc.
