Indonesia is an island nation of contrasts, where the spiritual manifests itself in diverse cultures and magnificent temples, while nature holds untold treasures with dramatic seascapes, exotic wildlife and active volcanoes. Home to the world's largest Muslim population, it has everything from city breaks in Yogyakarta, one of the nation's foremost cultural centres, to laid-back resorts in Bali or Muslim-friendly Lombok. This vast country has 17,000 islands and is home to stunning wildlife such as orangutans and an estimated 300,000 other species.
Whether you want to relax on the stunning beaches of Bali and Lombok or take a city break to Yogyakarta, Indonesia has everything you could wish for. There are also many exciting activities such as trekking in the vast rainforests or surfing the waves at one of the many world famous beaches. Since Indonesia is home to the largest Muslim population in the world, most if not all of the food served is halal. It is also easy to find alcohol-free bars, especially in Bali.
Bali has been a hotspot for a number of years, particularly popular with digital nomads, surfers, divers and beach lovers. One of Indonesia's most magnificent islands and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Asia, it offers natural beauty and glorious white sand beaches with warm hospitality.

Nasi Goreng -The most popular dish in Indonesia is rice with fried egg and either chicken or seafood. There are also vegetables, garlic, shallots, shrimp paste, and chilli and tamarind in most cases. In the restaurants and street vendors, nasi goreng is prepared to order. You can choose what type of meat, how spicy, or how you want your egg added (mixed with the dish or sunny-side-up).

When is the best time to visit Indonesia?
Enjoying a tropical climate, Indonesia has two seasons: the dry season (April to October) and the wet season (November to March) and enjoys hot and humid temperatures all year round. The high season is usually in the summer holidays and the Christmas holidays.
The low season between January and February is generally cheaper in terms of hotel bookings and flight tickets. There are also far fewer crowds, which is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in local culture in places like Bali without the usual tourist rush. One downside, however, is that orangutans and other wildlife are harder to spot during the rainy months.
