AN AMAZING FIRST TIME TRAVEL TO INDONESIA

It’s difficult to choose what to see and do in this country because it’s rich in beauty, history, and natural wonders. This travel blog post will help you learn everything you know and see in Indonesia, particularly on your first visit.

Indonesia is one of my favorite countries, and I had tried to travel to it many times, but it always felt like a big hassle. For many people, traveling to Indonesia can be a bit of an ordeal; you’ve got all this paperwork to do, so many different people you need to see, and you’re always flying on an overcrowded bus or foundering a jet Ski on an island lake.

Since it is a popular tourist destination, the people are generally friendly to visitors, and it is relatively safe to travel around most of Indonesia.

Indonesia is a fantastic country to visit. But if you ask most Indonesians about their favorite spots, there’s a high chance they would mention Bali. That’s because Bali is an island that fits in the palm of your hand.

The nightlife, food, and general atmosphere are second to none. If you have never been there before, this might not be the best place to experience first-hand but don’t worry – I have my reasons.

CLIMATE                                

On the other hand, the temperature does not vary much from season to season, and the day in Indonesia does not change much. The critical factor in Indonesia’s climate is rainfall, which occurs from November to March, and is referred to as the country’s “offseason.” However tourists have recently not complained about the weather, so any time is a good time to visit Indonesia!

BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL

Language can make every experience of visiting a new country unforgettable. Indonesians are very proud of their language and they often use it in different forms to greet their friends, family members, or coworkers. A simple truth that many foreigners often misunderstand is that Indonesians do not appreciate foreigners speaking in their language.

Understandably, most first-time travelers are fascinated by the diversity and fascinating culture of Indonesia. From its stunning mountains and rainforests to the ancient and mystical Hinduism of Bali, there is much to unearth. But beware – Indonesia is not for the faint-hearted!

Additionally, you should be wary of being conned or scammed in general and just buy and trade money from legitimate sources. Snatching and stealing bags should also be avoided. Indonesia’s climate is entirely tropical. The uniformly warm water covering 81 percent of Indonesia’s surface area keeps the temperature on land reasonably consistent.

THE UN-REJECTABLE MEAL

Traditional Indonesian meals usually include steamed rice as the main course and vegetables, soup, and meat or fish side dishes.

The cuisine of Indonesia is a mash-up of various regional culinary traditions that came together to form the archipelagic country. Indonesian cuisine varies greatly by region and is influenced by a wide range of cultures. Padang cuisine is known for its spiciness and flavor depth. The traditional Indonesian must-try dishes are Nasi Goreng (Fried rice), Nasi Campur(Mixed Rice), tryGado Gado(Salad with unique sauces), Tempeh (A soy dish), Sayur Wrap(Salad with coconut), Bakwan Jagung(Corn Fritters), Chicken satay, Babi Guling(Pig Roast) (Pig Roast).

AWESOME VIEW

The Jatiluwih Rice Fields, located at the foot of Mount Batukaru, a popular Bali hike, are known for their spectacular and exotic landscapes and breathtaking scenery.

Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) is the native language of 20% of the population, but it is still spoken almost as a first or second language. The following most commonly spoken languages are Javanese and Sudanese. English is widely spoken and understood in Indonesia.

On my first real vacation there, we took a short boat ride from Makassar port to Denpasar on The Holidays Island.

LOW CURRENCY

The Indonesian Rupiah is the country’s currency. The Rupiah has such a low value that you can pay thousands of Rupiahs for a loaf of bread and millions of Rupiahs for a small tour package.

Indonesia has 11 major international airports and over 200 domestic airports.

MODE OF TRANSPORTATION

The most popular modes of transportation are buses and taxis. Buses are well linked, but visitors may find them confusing, so a taxi is a preferred and reasonably priced alternative.

Ferries are a popular mode of transportation to hop islands since it is an archipelago. Only Java has a significant train network.

BEST PLACES YOU SHOULD VISIT IN INDONESIA AD FIRST TIME TRAVELERS

JAKARTA

Indonesia is a vast and diverse nation. As a result, you can travel to Jakarta, the capital city. It has a population of nearly 20 million people. If you’re a first-time visitor to this city, don’t be intimidated. You can visit the luxury malls, search for the best street foods, and learn about the site’s history.

“A meal without rice is not a meal at all,” says a common saying in the region. All you have to do is go with the flow and start sampling some of the city’s most famous dishes, such as nasi goreng. Allow your taste buds to transport you to the capital’s most flavorful spices. Jakarta will also offer a wide variety of high-end dishes to foodies. Oasis Restaurant, an old colonial mansion, is one of Jakarta’s best restaurants.

BALI

You could spend some time at one of Bali’s most famous spas. You can even take a trip to the island’s Monkey Forest if you’re feeling daring. At the Bali Safari and Marine Park, you can see wild animals from Africa and other parts of the world. You won’t want to miss the Night Safari, which is also available in the region.

After that, visit the Bali Bird Park to greet some of your feathered companions. It is a haven for 250 different species of birds. You must visit Pura Tanah Lot and pitch a tent near the temple for a truly authentic Balinese experience. It is one of the island’s holiest temples. You can also carry your necessities for an overnight stay. Then take in the stunning sunset over the ocean.

KOMODO

When you think of Indonesia, you could see tropical islands, turquoise seas, and world-class beaches on your coffee table. There are also rice terraces and jungles to be explored. But, most importantly, you must visit the pink beach! The beach is, really, pink. This one-of-a-kind beach can only be found on Komodo Island.

The beach is pink because of the mixture of red and white sand. It makes the island appealing to tourists, especially first-time visitors. Komodo Island is a haven for scuba divers and beachgoers alike and a refuge for Komodo dragons. They are the most massive lizards on the planet. But don’t worry, they won’t start a fire. They can, however, grow to be over 10 feet long.

THE TANJUNG PUTING NATIONAL PARK

Although Komodo dragons attract many reptile enthusiasts from all over the world, others want to see other wild animals. The popular orangutan is one of the animals that most visitors want to see. On your ride to the Tanjung Puttingsee National Park’s jungle, you will see these unusual beasts.

It occupies an area the same as the size of that of the entire Bali. Hiking through the forest will allow you to see bush pigs and birds. You must, though, wear your trekking necessities, such as hiking boots or hiking sandals. You can also see the different monkey species by taking a boat trip down the Sekonyer River. On the web, you can also see proboscis monkeys and orangutans for a truly memorable adventure.

MOUNT BROMO

You can visit another Indonesian National Park for a different kind of wildlife experience. You can visit the Bromo Tengger Semeru, which you can find just east of Java. It covers an area of 800 square kilometers genuinely and is a fantastic place to stay. You can ride a pony or a jeep across the desert.

However, climbing Mount Bromo is a must-do experience. It is a 7000-foot volcano that will have spectacular views of the park from Mount Semuru’s peak. Furthermore, if you camp all night, you can decide to watch the beautiful sunrise the following day.
