Here are 5 most stunning tourist places to visit on your Indonesia tour
1. Ubud
Nestled amidst breathtakingly beautiful terraced rice fields, Ubud is regarded as Bali’s cultural centre and a major travel destination in Indonesia. Explore the numerous art galleries and craft shops in the city, as well as the daily dance and music performances.
2. Borobudur
One of the most well-known Buddhist temples in the world, the Borobudur is situated 40 kilometres (25 miles) northwest of Yogyakarta, Java. The kingdom of Sailendra constructed the Borobudur over a period of around 75 years in the eighth and ninth centuries, using an estimated 2 million stone blocks.
3. Mount Bromo
This volcano has become one of Indonesia’s famous sights, often surrounded by smoke and a multicoloured sky. Watching the sunrise over Mount Bromo from Java Island is a memorable experience.
4. Lake Toba
Toba is not just the country’s biggest lake, but it may also be the most beautiful. This volcanic lake, which is about twice the size of Singapore, has several viewpoints from which you can view its surroundings, which include hills and greenery.
5. Torajaland
Torajaland (Tana Toraja) is a highland area in South Sulawesi and home to the Toraja people. Torajans are well-renowned for their huge peaked-roof homes, known as tongkonan and their impressive but gruesome funeral rites. After someone passes away, their body is kept—often for years—until the funeral, which might take several days.
