Mystical Indonesia
Indonesia spans more than 13,000 islands, dotting Sumatra in the west to Irian Jaya in the east. With generally dry weather, the country beckons holidaymakers to enjoy the breathtaking backdrop of beaches, rice paddies, rainforests and volcanoes. The capital Jakarta is the gateway to the country. Trek around the wildlife reserves in Sumatra or head for a cultural retreat in Bandung where indigenous arts thrive. Be enchanted by Yogyakarta, the cradle for the 1,000-year old Borobodur Temple - one of the major centres of Buddhism in the world. Bali is definitely the most popular gem in Indonesia. Tourists are lured to the beaches of Legian and Kuta, captivated by the cultural scene in Ubud - which typify the land known as island of the gods!
