Wonderful Indonesia

Indonesia is a magical country of more than 17,000 islands. Adorned with vast jungles, beautiful volcanic mountains, waterfalls and jaw-dropping beaches will please any type of traveller. Even though Indonesia is a popular tourist destination for many, it still remains inexpensive compared to many western destinations. Fit for both the budget backpacker or the romantic newlyweds Indonesia has many remote pockets to explore. Bali, Nusa Island, Gili Island, and Lombok are still by far the most popular areas for tourist. However there are many other less explored areas like East Java, Yogyakarta, Sumatra and Island of Flores to name a few.
