This itinerary is meant to give one a chance to envelop all that Indonesia has to offer, which is a nearly impossible task. Still, one can\u2019t prevent you from trying to get there, so here\u2019s a list of islands, beaches, lakes, ski resorts and cities that you must visit in order to say that you\u2019ve, at least, came close to sampling whole of Indonesia.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tanjung Puting National Park<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing that makes Indonesia different from a lot of other countries is its unique wildlife. For instance, this country is home to the wild orangutan, one of the cutest and wittiest creatures in the world. The best place to admire these incredible creatures is in the Tanjung Puting National Park. The place itself consists of various different biomes, from swamps, forests and mangroves, all the way to a coastal beach. This hardly comes as a surprise, due to the fact that it stretches on a massive area of 416,000 hectares. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jakarta<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we promised, this list wouldn\u2019t be complete without at least one major metropolitan area and what better place to pick than the largest city in the country and its capital \u2013 Jakarta. Here, you can go shopping in Menteng flea market, admire landmarks like Istana Merdeka or take your kids to a Ragunan Zoo (if it\u2019s a family trip). Those interested in culture, history and religion of the country should pay a visit to Shiva Mandhir or Hare Krishna Temple. Lastly, those interested in Jakarta nightlife can find an abundance of bars, clubs spas and hotels to spend their night at.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bali<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bali is definitely one of the most unique places in the world and the list of reasons for going there keeps going on and on. Other than its tropical climate, its amazing beaches and its numerous mystical temples, a trip to Bali provides you with an amazing value for money. In other words, prices in Bali are incredibly low compared to what you\u2019re used to, which will come as a great refreshment. This is the place where you can have a luxury trip of your dreams. There are so many amazing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/balivillaescapes.com.au\/villas_destinations\/seminyak\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bali Villa escapes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for you to choose from if you decide to pursue this direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Puncak Jaya, Mount Carstensz<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as you tell people that you\u2019ve been to Indonesia, they\u2019ll start imagining you on a beach or in a tropical rainforest. However, not a lot of people can brag with skiing in Indonesia, which is something that a visit to the Puncak Jaya, which is the highest summit of Mount Carstensz will allow you to do. While Indonesia is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unofficialnetworks.com\/2015\/10\/02\/5-places-you-didnt-know-you-could-ski-uganda-indonesia-colombia-greece-heard-island\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not as popular skiing destination<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as Canada or Austria, it\u2019s definitely a place that can provide you with a unique winter experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kelimutu Lake<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who are interested in seeing and experiencing something truly unique, something that they can\u2019t encounter anywhere else in the world, the dazzling Kelimutu lake needs to be at the very top of the list. Despite its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indonesia.travel\/gb\/en\/destinations\/bali-nusa-tenggara\/flores\/lake-kelimutu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unique crater lake<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the island itself is rural and underdeveloped. This means that it\u2019s a great destination for those interested in hiking, photographing and admiring landscapes. In other words, it\u2019s something that should definitely be included in your itinerary, yet, it might be a bit too much to make this visit into a pivotal point of your adventure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest problem with this list is the fact that some might find it incomplete, yet, this is the fate of all lists of places you must see and activities you must try in Indonesia. A lot of people spend their entire lives in this place without managing to sample all that this amazing place has to offer, so assuming that you can try it all in one tour might seem a bit pretentious. Nonetheless, as we\u2019ve already stated in the introduction, there\u2019s nothing to stop you from trying.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What we intend to do on this list is to create an itinerary that will provide its reader with the option of creating a unique itinerary.
