Bali
Bali is so picturesque that you could be fooled into thinking it was
a painted backdrop: rice paddies trip down hillsides like giant steps,
volcanoes soar through the clouds, the forests are lush and tropical,
and the beaches are lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. |
| But the paradise gloss has been manufactured and polished by the
international tourist industry rather than by the Balinese themselves
- who don't even have a word for paradise in their language - and
it pays scant regard to the political and economic reality of life
on Bali. Bali Tour Package |

Java
The most developed island in the Indonesian archipelago, Java exhibits
all the characteristics of an Asian society experiencing rapid transition:
great wealth and equal squalor; beautiful open country and filthy
cities; tranquil rural scenes and streets choked with traffic. |
| The Hindu-Buddhist empires reached their zenith on Java, producing
architectural wonders such as Borobudur and Prambanan. Islam, following
on after this, absorbed rather than erased local cultures, leaving
Java with a mish-mash of historic influences and religions. Java Tour Package |

Lombok
Less developed than Bali, Lombok has better beaches, a bigger volcano
and a greater variety of landscapes. Tourism is less intrusive than
on Bali, but the flip-side is that many Lombokians are less blasé
about tourists: in some places you might find the residents quite
resentful of the industry. Lombok Tour Package |

Sumatra
Sumatra is as tropical as it gets. With its Amazon-like rivers moving
sluggishly through canopies of natural rainforests, muddy mangrove
estuaries, steamy interiors, brilliantly gaudy flora and weird and
wonderful fauna, Sumatra is a place and a half for a boat trip. |
| Despite its wealth of natural resources, Sumatra is struggling
with a failing economy. The northern province of Aceh is at the
epicentre of separatist violence and the area has been hit by devastating
earthquakes. Sumatra Tour Package |

Flores
The villages of Nggela, Wolojita and Jopu on the island of Flores
are renowned for their beautiful ikat sarongs and shawls. The traditional
whaling village of Lamalera on Lembata, east of Flores, is a fascinating
place to poke around the boatsheds and watch whaling crafts. |
| Kelimutu's tri-coloured lakes are Nusa Tenggara's most fantastic
attraction. The waters in the three volcanic craters have a curious
habit of changing colour. Local legend has it that the souls of
the dead go to the lakes. Which colour lake you go to depends on
your conduct during your life. Flores Tour Package |
