     10 Best Places to Visit In Indonesia🇮🇩

There are many reasons to travel to Indonesia. A country with over 17,000 islands, 8,000 of which are inhabited, Indonesia is like 100 countries in one.

This a land of great adventure, where dramatic landscapes of beaches and volcanos is the norm, and with a rich diversity of people, customs, cultures, animals, plants, artworks, spectacular temples and food.

The following are five reasons why you should visit Indonesia. You probably won’t make it to all 17,000 islands in one trip, but these destinations are a good place to start!

-1. Relaxed and play in Nusa dua beach

The main attraction in Nusa Dua is its unique beaches. Pantai Mengiat is a popular choice of beach retreat, and further south is Geger Beach which has a picturesque cliff-top temple. There is also Sawangan where travelers will find Bali’s only camel safaris.

There is plenty of cheap accommodation in Nusa Dua right on the beach, and travelers who choose to stay here can enjoy the beautiful bay for snorkeling and swimming, as well as other natural landmarks along the Nusa Dua peninsula.

-2. Borobudur Temple

The world’s biggest Buddhist sanctuaryis a must-visit attraction, not only because of its religious significance but also for its beauty and charm. Built around the eighth century, this temple is a reflection of the country’s long and intricate history that covers religion, culture, customs, architecture, and more. Tourists can observe the ornate and mesmerizing stone carvings, gaze of the main grand structure, and immerse themselves in the surrounding scenic view that includes the sunrise, jungles, and faraway hills.

-3. Ubud, Bali

Bali’s art and culture capital, Ubud charms tourists beyond its elegant art galleries and lively traditional performances. Ubud is also one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the popular island destination. The famed Tegalalang Rice Terrace, for example, is a must-visit spot while in Bali. Ubud’s lush tropical jungles, calming rivers, and other natural features have also provided many wellness establishments with a serene atmosphere. Even a casual stroll or meal in this locality may come with a lovely view of nature or architecture

-4. Mount Bromo

This volcano, often surrounded by smoke and a multi-colored sky, has become one of the most iconic sights from Indonesia. Watching the sunrise at Mount Bromo from Java Island is a popular excursion that offers and unforgettable experience. The volcano also shares the area with a vast desert, other lush mountains and hills, sweeping flower fields, and some waterfalls, most of which can be explored in a day or two.

-5. Dieng Plateau

Perched at 2,000 meters (6,562 feet) above sea level, Dieng Plateau is one of the coolest destinations in Indonesia, and not just weather-wise. Both a natural and cultural destination, there are many things to see and do in Dieng Plateau. Other than the sweeping mountain view of jungles and distant villages, this highland also has a multi-colored lake, hot spring, and ancient Hindu temples. Once a year, tourists flock to the spot for a much-anticipated festival that includes traditional rituals, performances, and jazz above the clouds.

-6. Derawan Island

This archipelago in East Kalimantan is one of Indonesia’s best examples of tropical paradise, comprised of six staggering islands and some smaller islets, each with its own adventures and charm. Maratua Island, for example, is known for its sublime sea caves, lakes, and lavish resorts. Kakaban Island offers swimming in a lake full of stingless jellyfish. Sangalaki Island is popular for diving and snorkeling, due to its thriving underwater scene, filled with coral, manta rays, turtles, and more. The relatively remote location helps conserve the natural beauty of this archipelago, making it a pristine and beautiful island paradise in Indonesia.

-7. Bangka belitung Island

Located off the coast of mainland Sumatra, Bangka Belitung Island is famed for its idyllic beaches with blissful white sand, iconic granite boulders, and palm trees. But beyond the translucent water and hypnotizing sunsets, the locality is also home to impressive cultural and historical landmarks—many of which are heritage buildings from the colonial era—that suit the charming natural view. From this archipelago, tourists can also venture to the surrounding smaller inhabited islands for even more pristine natural beauty.

-8.Lombok

Some say Lombok reminds them of Bali decades ago, before the island became a tourist magnet. Lombok’s landscape and beaches are no doubt on par with Bali, and are arguably more beautiful because of their pristine state. Among the most glorious sights in Lombok is the volcano Mount Rinjani and Pink Beach. The world-famous Gili Islands, just off the coast of Lombok, are also a must-visit, offering a mix of natural beauty and modern attractions such as luxury resorts and hip bars.

-9. Bukittinggi

This charming town in West Sumatra is at the forefront of tourism in the province. At 930 meters (3,051 feet) above sea level, this town has a glorious highland view and crisp fresh air. Bukittinggi has breathtaking nature, a long history, and extraordinary cultural values, all of which attracts many tourists each year. Popular destinations include the majestic Sianok Canyon, the Japanese WWII underground tunnels, Dutch hilltop fortress Fort de Kock, Pasar Atas traditional market, and the iconic Jam Gadang clock tower, which was built during the colonial era in 1926.

-10. Nusa Island of Bali

Often referred to as “The Maldives of Bali,” this string of three islands off the coast of Bali is an up-and-coming tropical paradise with natural attractions that many would argue outshine the famed mainland. Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan each have their own specialty, but all three offer a splendid underwater scene, with thriving wildlife, translucent water, and a calm surface. The areas are perfect for diving, snorkeling, or water sports. Other favorite activities include cliff-jumping in Nusa Ceningan, crossing the yellow bridge between Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan, caving, hiking, and more.?
