Must-Do Things In Indonesia

Snorkeling at Raja Ampat

Raja Ampat means “four Kings”, named after the main four islands of Waigeo, Misool, Salawati, and Batanta. Besides those, there are about 1500 minor islands in the cluster and is one of those remote places compared to the rest of the places on the list.

The archipelago is one of the best diving and snorkeling destination offering some of the best marine and aquatic experiences. It is also home to 75% of all known coral species making it perfect for every underwater adventure from wreck diving to underwater photography.

With steep, jungle clad islands, turquoise water, and innumerable bays and lagoons, Raja Ampat and its underwater adventures are once in a life time opportunities that can't be missed.

Visit an Indonesian temple

Located in Central Java is the world's largest Buddhist temple, Borobudur. This hand-built 9th-century monument has survived numerous natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and even some man-made terrorist attacks.

This ornately carved pyramid-shaped structure protects about 5 floors worth of statues and just the central dome has 72 Buddha statues. It is surrounded by the green, lush kampung or rice villages making it a magnificent sight to look at.

Even if you are not a religious or spiritual person, this trip to Borobudur will be a night to remember forever.

Meet the Orangutans

If you are tired of the beaches and quiet country life among the 1000s of islands (if you can ever be), you might have to make a visit to the Tanjung Puting National Park. The huge national park is located in the untouched and protected tropical jungles of Borneo.

The misty fresh air and gushing water from the river, surrounded by lush greenery make it a heaven on earth. The main attraction is the wild Orangutans that often visit this reserved forest area. Do not miss the chance to meet them, or even the occasional leopard.

Climb a volcano

If you wish to climb a still-active volcano, this might be a good chance. Take a trip to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, in East Java. As much as you can enjoy the sightings of wildlife like the leopard, Java rusa deer, wild pigs, and marbled cats, the chance to hike up to the peak of the volcano at sunrise would be your jackpot.

Incessantly surrounded by white clouds and smoke, the sunrise from the volcanic peak is ethereal and once in a lifetime opportunity. You might have to get a permit from the national park authority to ascend the volcano. And maybe check if the volcano is not erupting, before you start.
