Indonesia

With amazing places to visit in Indonesia spread across more than 17,000 islands, some of which are still unexplored, from the rainforests of Sumatra in the west to the rarely visited tribal enclave of Sumba to the east, you'll never run out of opportunities for adventure and cultural interaction. While a bulk of visitors only see Bali, one of the top destinations in Asia, Indonesia has plenty more to offer away from the beaten path like Lombok and Sanur with quieter, better stretches of sand. For wildlife viewing, there’s Tanjung Puting National Park, a refuge for orangutans, and Komodo and Rinca Island in the Komodo National Park with its endangered giant lizards. Active travelers can hike to the crater’s edge of a volcano on Java, snorkel through the coral gardens of the The Gili Islands or explore the marine life in Raja Ampat which is among the highest in the world, with over 1,300 species of fish, 700 species of mollusks, and 537 species of coral.
