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. |

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. |
