Hey people I’m off to Indonesia in July for 3 weeks, there is 3 of us going. We fly into Jakarta and then I’ve been told to go to places like Bali, Yogyakarta, Sumatra, and Java.
In Java don't miss Mt Bromo at sunrise. We got up at 3.30am for the trip up the mountain but it was well worth it! Borobudur is fantastic and can be done easily as a day trip from Yogyakarta; try and get there really early to avoid the crowds. Yogyakarta is worth a couple of days and you can also visit Prambanan from there which is another impressive temple complex. I'd recommend catching a performance of the Ramayana which is either held at Prambanan or in central Yogyakarta, depending on the season.
In Bali, Ubud is a must see and there are several attractions surrounding the city too. Lovina is a nice little beach town to chill out in for a few days, especially if you are coming from Java which is much more hectic.
Some attractive place at Indonesia-
MONAS MONUMENT,
PASIR PUTIH BEACH,
PULAU SERIBU (THOUSAND ISLANDS),
LEMBANG,
PANGANDARAN BEACH,
PARANGTRITIS BEACH,
MOUNT BROMO
thanks for the help guys

Hi,
You can go to Bali, and then take flight from Bali to Jogjakarta. From Jogjakarta airport (the name is Adisucipto airport) you can take Trans Jogja. It is local bus. Please choose number 1A. It will take you to Malioboro. It is really interesting place. You will see Dagen Street (Jalan Dagen) and Sosrowijayan Street (Jalan Sosrowijayan). From here you can find plenty backpack hostel and cheap hotel near Malioboro.
Things to do in Jogjakarta :
1. Sultan Palace
2. Taman Sari Water castle (very near from Sultan Palace)
3. go to south city hall (Alun-alun selatan) and take a game by crossing two banyan tress with your blind fold. It is really interesting.
4. Go to Prambanan Temple (actually it is near from the airport)
5. Go to Borobudur Temple (40 km from jogjakarta approx).
6. visit Kota Gede. It is very old town, famous with silver home industry. Try to see the workshop. You can find how they make one handicraft.
7. Visit Solo city. You can take Prambanan Express Train from Jogja. It takes 1 hour journey.
From jogjakarta, you can take train to Bandung. You can choose night train or morning train. And after you enjoy Bandung city, you can continue to Jakarta. Take van from Bandung for 2-2,5 hours.
In jakarta you can go to Pulau Seribu (Thousand Islands).
Ok..
happy travelling

My favourite place in Indonesia was definately the Gili Islands! Definately worth a visit and really easy to get to from Bali. Komodo is great too, a bit off the beaten track but it was worth it!
