Dwi's 5 top travel destinations in Indonesia...

16/8/2016

0 Comments

 
We all know that Indonesia is a tropical country located in South East Asia and one of Australia’s closest neighbours. Most of Australians are also familiar with Bali as favourite holiday destination. But this country is more than just Bali. Below are the 5 travel destinations you need to check out next time you plan a short getaway:

Komodo National Park
If you are up for an adventure instead of lazing around the beach, you can visit Komodo National Park. Prepare yourself to see the world’s biggest lizard which mimic relict animals from the past, Komodo dragons. The world’s largest living reptile that can reach 3 meters or more in length and weigh over 70kg. Although Komodo dragons eat mostly carcass of dead animals, they are formidable predators and will also hunt prey including birds, and mammals. Attacks against humans are very rare. The Komodo National Park is a national park located within the Lesser Sunda Islands that includes the three larger islands Komodo, Padar and Rincah, and 26 smaller ones.

Tana Toraja
If you are more into history, cultural things and have a passion for a little mystery, you will enjoy your visit to Tana Toraja. Here you will find a unique view on death that will blow your mind. Torajaland, the literal translation of ‘Tana Toraja’ is a highland region of South Sulawesi, home of the Toraja people. Torajans are famous for their massive peaked-roof houses known as tongkonan and spectacular but gruesome funeral rites. After a person’s death, the body is kept – often for several years – until the actual funeral ceremony which can last for several days. The deceased is then finally buried in a small cave or in a hollow tree.

Gili Islands
If you love Bali, you will love Gili Islands more! Gili islands offer great beaches with less crowd. And the best thing is it is not too far from Bali. The Gili Islands are an archipelago of three small islands: Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. The islands are very relaxed and laid-back, with countless little beachside cafes still playing reggae and no cars or motorbikes to disturb the peace. Note that the name “Gili Islands” is rather redundant as gili simply means “small island” in Sasak and there are many other islands around the coast of Lombok with Gili in their names.

Bunaken

Located at the north of the island of Sulawesi, Bunaken is one of Indonesia’s most famous dive and snorkelling areas. The island is part of the Bunaken Marine Park where you can see more than 70% of all fish species that live in the western Pacific Ocean. The best time for diving in Bunaken is between the months of April and November.

Pulo Cinta
Pulo Cinta, literally translated to ‘Island of Love’ will remind you of Maldives, except it is in Indonesia and you probably could save more money while enjoying a holiday with your loved one. Pulo Cinta is the first ocean resort in the country (literally sits on the sea, instead of an island). You can go diving, snorkelling, or island hopping. If you are a beach lover, I’m sure you’d enjoy your time here just chilling and enjoy the breathtaking scenery.
