Bali
Bali is so picturesque that you could be fooled into thinking it was a
painted backdrop: rice paddies trip down hillsides like giant steps,
volcanoes soar through the clouds, the forests are lush and tropical, and
the beaches are lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. The 2002 Kuta bombing marred Bali's tropical Loveland image, and for a
time the island, heavily dependent on tourism, fell into decline. These days
it's undergoing a cautious revival with travellers reimmersing themselves in
the sublime beach and village life and the aura of the magnificent temples.

Nobody wants to hint that the attacks were anything but the most terrible
of tragedies, but the pause in the years of go-go growth has given many a
chance to take stock of what Bali has become. Questions about the
environmental and cultural cost of unbridled tourism are being addressed
more openly. Organised resistance to new resorts that would deplete the
once-thought-inexhaustible waters surging in the hills around Ubud has
emerged. Village councils have shown a new willingness to confront the less
locally palatable aspects of tourism such as noise from clubs and unseemly
behaviour on the beaches.

Java
The most developed island in the Indonesian archipelago, Java exhibits
all the characteristics of an Asian society experiencing rapid transition:
great wealth and equal squalor; beautiful open country and filthy cities;
tranquil rural scenes and streets choked with traffic.

The Hindu-Buddhist empires reached their zenith on Java, producing
architectural wonders such as Borobudur and Prambanan. Islam, following on
after this, absorbed rather than erased local cultures, leaving Java with a
mish-mash of historic influences and religions.

thousand years, but today can be seen in all its glory and grandeur.

Lombok
Less developed than Bali, Lombok also has better beaches, a bigger
volcano and a greater variety of landscapes. Tourism is less intrusive than
it is on Bali, but the flip-side is that the people of Lombok are less blasé
about tourists: in some places you might find the residents quite resentful
of the new wave of tourism.

Sumatra
Sumatra is as tropical as it gets. With its Amazon-like rivers moving
sluggishly through canopies of natural rainforests, muddy mangrove
estuaries, steamy interiors, brilliantly gaudy flora and weird and wonderful
fauna, Sumatra is a place and a half for a boat trip.
Despite its wealth of natural resources, Sumatra is struggling with a
failing economy. The northern province of Aceh is at the epicentre of
separatist violence and the area has been hit by devastating earthquakes
