INDONESIA
laidback Lombok offers a vastly different experience. Its highest mountain, Rinjani, is cloaked in thick forest, and is sacred to many islanders’ animist faith. Not to be missed are the dive sites around the tiny offshore isles of Gili Trewangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. Here, vast shoals of fish gather in shallow water. The coral is more colourful than the local spice market. The Nusa Tenggara islands is a seldom-visited archipelago teeming with exotic cultures and strange creatures. See sperm whales, blue whales and the komodo dragon.
Indonesia’s thousands of islands (between 17,000 and 20,000) are a beguiling mix, intriguing, thrilling and worlds away from regular life. from the luxury spas of bali to the rugged lands of the nusa tenggara, indonesia remains a little-explored paradise.
Bali’s array of spas, beaches and Indo-Javan cuisine is simply unsurpassed. Discover its landscapes by hot air balloon, by mountain bike, on elephant back, or on a white water raft trip along the fast-flowing Telaga Waja River.
