Java & Bali Explorer Summary

Add to Shortlist

Day 1 Jakarta

Indonesia's sprawling capital, Jakarta is a vast cultural melting pot which reflects the many faces of modern Indonesia.

Once known as the 'Paris of Java', Bandung still retains relics of its Dutch colonial past with some fine examples of architecture from that era.

Days 3-4 Pangandaran

A small fishing village popular with visitors looking for a coastal escape, Pangandaran offers fine-sand beaches, cottage industries and an impressive green canyon.

Days 5-7 Yogyakarta

Java's cultural heart is an Intrepid favourite. From batik workshops to the nearby Hindu and Buddhist temples, 'Yogya' is one of South-East Asia's gems.

Day 8 Seloliman Nature Reserve

Situated on the slopes of the sacred Penanggungan volcano, the peaceful Seloliman Nature Reserve is home to an environmental education centre set amid rice paddies and rainforest.

As Bali's main arts and cultural centre, Ubud is a wonderful place to experience the magic that has made this such a popular travel destination.
