Mt. Rinjani forms the second highest volcanic peak in Indonesia, part of celebrated “Ring of Fire”. The dramatic landscape has been created over millions of year of cone - building, violent explosions, and erosion

The6 km by 8.5 km oval-shaped caldera is filled partially by a crater lake known as Segara Anak ('Child of the Sea') and is approximately 2000m above sea level and estimated at being around 200m deep);the caldera also contains hot springs. The eruptions of 1994, 1995, and 1996 have formed a small cone, Gunung Baru (or 'New Mountain' - approximately 2300m above sea level) in the center of the caldera and lava flows from these eruptions have entered the lake.

Thepark covers an area of 41,330 ha on the northern part of Lombok and locates the three administrative district of West, East and Central Lombok. The area covers 12,357.67 ha in the west, 22,152.88 ha in the east and 6,819.45 ha in central Lombok. Rinjani dominates the National Park of Lombok, an island east of Bali on the Indonesian archipelago. At 3726m it is the second highest volcano in Indonesia, part of the infamous ring of fire that encircles the basin of the Pacific. Within the crater is the spectacular Segara Anak lake and the still – active volcano Gunung Baru (2,363m).

Segara Anak is a crater lake contained within Mount Rinjani on the island of lombok in Indonesia. The name Segara Anak means child of the sea given to it due to the blue colour of the lake reminiscent of the sea.

Thehighlands are forest clad and mostly underdeveloped. The lowlands are highly cultivated. Rice, soybeans, coffee, tobacco, cotton, cinnamon, and vanilla are the major crops grown in the fertile soils of the island.

It is surrounded by further 66,000 ha of Protection Forest also covers the three administrative districts. The park ecosystem is in the transitional zone between Asia and Australia (Walaceae zone). Average rainfall is about 3,000mm annually.

Gunung Rinjani, one of the over 50 National Parks through out Indonesia and 21 become National Park model included Gunung Rinjani National Park, it was established in 1997. It is valued and protected for its spiritual as well natural values, and is worshipped by thousands of Balinese as well as Sasak pilgrims. Hot springs near the crater lake are sought after for their healing powers.

2 Mount Krakatoa

http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/3/2/14/f_22481064134m_f7f7dc5.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/14/f_22481064134m_f7f7dc5.jpg&srv=img33)

Actually the Krakatoa / Krakatau belongs to Bandar Lampung, a province of Sumatra. But the Krakatoa is most easy to reach from Java and is part of Ujung Kulon national park in the south west of Java so Krakatoa is implemented in Java section.

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/1/15/f_2832241599cm_4512db9.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/15/f_2832241599cm_4512db9.jpg&srv=img37)

Krakatoa is one of Indonesia's most active volcanoes that located in the strait between Sumatra and Java. With devastating effects this volcano erupted just over a century ago in 1883, bringing its fine ashes with the wind streams as far away as over New York City, whereas the eruption's tidal waves reached the American West Coast. At that very instant, Krakatoa vanished as if devoured by the sea, causing formidable tidal waves which in turn swept off just about everything alive from the surrounding coastal areas.

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/1/15/f_20840108436m_0e70686.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/15/f_20840108436m_0e70686.jpg&srv=img37)

However, the disappearance of the gigantic Krakatoa also meant the birth of small islands in its place, one of which is called "Anak Krakatau" or Krakatoa's Child, which is at present an extremely active young volcano. From both West Java's, West Coast, and from Sumatra's Lampung Province, this young and very active volcano is clearly visible. A boat trip to this place may be worth making

http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/3/2/14/f_3278761590em_ddbec07.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/14/f_3278761590em_ddbec07.jpg&srv=img33)

A unique location is in the middle of Sunda strait. It's a little volcano pierce from the ocean. Krakatoa could be reached from Anyer or Carita beach. Approximately 2 hours cruising on a speedboat and 3 and half hour on a slow diesel boat.

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/1/15/f_41662823a12m_ced94c7.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/15/f_41662823a12m_ced94c7.jpg&srv=img37)

There are three islands surrounding Anak Krakatau. All of these islands seem to be parts of big Krakatoa before the big eruption in 1883. That's why there are a few lagoons caused by the eruption. These lagoons were a home for Giant Trivially, Red Snapper, Grouper and many others reef fishes. Besides fishing, the visitors are also can enjoy the scenes of Mount Krakatoa that also amazing.

3 Komodo National Park

http://img03.picoodle.com/img/img03/3/12/11/f_27405581838m_08b3d6c.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/12/11/f_27405581838m_08b3d6c.jpg&srv=img03)

Komodo National Park includes three major islands: Komodo, Rinca and Padar, as well as numerous smaller islands creating a total surface area (marine and land) of 1817km (proposed extensions would bring the total surface area up to 2,321km2). As well as being home to the Komodo dragon, the Park provides refuge for many other notable terrestrial species such as the orange-footed scrub fowl, an endemic rat, and the Timor deer.

http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/1/14/f_11038752864m_344d9d3.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/14/f_11038752864m_344d9d3.jpg&srv=img26)

Moreover, the Park includes one of the richest marine environments including coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, seamounts, and semi-enclosed bays. These habitats harbor more than 1,000 species of fish, some 260 species of reef-building coral, and 70 species of sponges. Dugong, sharks, manta rays, at least 14 species of whales, dolphins, and sea turtles also make Komodo National Park their home.

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/1/15/f_19312636979m_51b991d.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/15/f_19312636979m_51b991d.jpg&srv=img37)

Threats to terrestrial biodiversity include the increasing pressure on forest cover and water resources as the local human population has increased 800% over the past 60 years. In addition, the Timor deer population, the preferred prey source for the endangered Komodo dragon, is still being poached. Destructive fishing practices such as dynamite-, cyanide, and compressor fishing severely threaten the Park's marine resources by destroying both the habitat (coral reefs) and the resource itself (fish and invertebrate stocks).

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/1/15/f_29471614879m_cd9ad68.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/15/f_29471614879m_cd9ad68.jpg&srv=img37)

The present situation in the Park is characterized by reduced but continuing destructive fishing practices primarily by immigrant fishers, and high pressure on demersal stocks like lobsters, shellfish, groupers and napoleon wrasse. Pollution inputs, ranging from raw sewage to chemicals, are increasing and may pose a major threat in the future.

Lake Toba, also known as Danau Toba, is the most famous tourist attraction in North Sumatra. Lake Toba, located in the heart of the Batak country, is the largest lake in Indonesia and also in Southeast Asia with a surface area over one thousand square kilometers. Lake Toba is also the deepest lake in the world with over four hundred and fifty meters deep

An estimate of 2500-3000 cubic kilometres of dense-rock equivalent pyroclastic material, nicknamed the Youngest Toba tuff, was blasted from the youngest caldera during one of the largest single eruptions in geologic history. Following the "Youngest Toba tuff eruption", a typical resurgent dome formed within the new caldera, joining two half-domes separated by a longitudinal graben.There are at least four cones, four stratovolcanoes and three craters visible in the lake.

Mount Merapi or Gunung Merapi in Indonesian language (bahasa), is a conical volcano in Central Java, Indonesia. It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. Its name means Mountain of Fire. It is very close to the city of Yogyakarta, and thousands of people live on the flanks of the volcano, with villages as high as 1700 m above sea level.

Several of its eruptions have caused fatalities. It was erupting from 1992 to 2002, and a particularly large explosion killed 43 people in 1994. It began erupting again in 2006, and scientists believe a large eruption is imminent. In light of the hazards it poses to populated areas, it has been designated a Decade Volcano.

http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/3/12/11/f_2710453428fm_b9ca6fb.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/12/11/f_2710453428fm_b9ca6fb.jpg&srv=img33)

Merapi is the youngest in a group of volcanoes in southern Java. It is situated at a subduction zone, where the Indo-Australian Plate is sliding beneath the Eurasian Plate. It is one of at least 129 active volcanoes in Indonesia, part of the Pacific Ring of Fire - a section of fault lines stretching from the Western Hemisphere through Japan and South East Asia.

Stratigraphic analysis reveals that eruptions in the Merapi area began about 400,000 years ago, and from then until about 10,000 years ago, eruptions were typically effusive, and the outflowing lava emitted was basaltic. Since then, eruptions have become more explosive, with viscous andesitic lavas often generating lava domes. Dome collapse has often generated pyroclastic flows, and larger explosions, which have resulted in eruption columns, have also generated pyroclastic flows through column collapse.

Typically, small eruptions occur every two to three years, and larger ones every 10-15 years or so. Notable eruptions, often causing many deaths, have occurred in 1006, 1786, 1822, 1872 (the most violent eruption in recent history), and 1930—when thirteen villages were destroyed and 1400 people killed by pyroclastic flows.

A very large eruption in 1006 is claimed to have covered all of central Java with ash. The volcanic devastation is claimed to have led to the collapse of the Hindu Kingdom of Mataram, however there is insufficient evidence from that era for this to be substantiated. Merapi continues hold particular significance for the Javanese: it is one of four places where officials from the royal palaces of Yogyakarta and Solo make annual offerings to placate the ancient Javanese spirits.

The magnificent Merbabu is in the middle of Central Java Province, comes from the word "Meru" means mountain and "Babu" means female or lady. For years it has been known as a sleeping mountain, but in fact it has 5 calderas, namely: Condrodimuko, Kombang, Kendang, Rebab & Sambernyowo. Mt. Merbabu last eruption was in 1968 which caused a lot of erosion. Usually it gives a tranquile atmosphere to its green beautiful environment.

Mt. Kelimutu, 1.690m fifty years ago, had three lakes, one lake was blue green, one fiery green and one red. Thirty years later, the colors had changed to blue, red brown and cafe au lait. Now, Ata Bupu (Lake) is a dramatic dark-brown. Ata Polo are dark red-brown, and only Nuwa Muri remains aquamarine or turquoise as it apparently always was.

Of all the volcanos in Indonesia, Keli Mutu on the island of Flores appears to have the most exotic lakes. In fact, its lakes are so brightly colored that they are featured on the 5,000 rupiah bill and thought of as a national treasure by the people of Indonesia.

The Magical Colors of Kelimutu Lake This name is related to the three craters of Mount Kelimutu. Each crater has water of different colors, and the water color can change at anytime. Local people called them the red, blue and white lakes.

http://img03.picoodle.com/img/img03/3/12/11/f_26357252728m_79880d7.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/12/11/f_26357252728m_79880d7.jpg&srv=img03)

It is not unusual to see all these three colors as they are, but during the month the color combination might change to become red, blue or greenish. And the green color might change again into greenish-black. This is not the work of magic, but it is real.This is the miracle of the Kelimutu Lake.

Green canyon at Indonesia?”. Green Canyon is a river-cave-waterfall unique travel spot located at 31 km south of Pangandaran. The real name is Cukang Taneuh, Green Canyon itself called by some france tourist when they first visit at 1993.

http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/3/1/16/f_3200612341em_b245d23.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/16/f_3200612341em_b245d23.jpg&srv=img33)

Green Canyon is part of Cijulang River that goes through a cave full of stalactites and stalagmites surrounded by two beautiful green hills. Boat to green canyon can be rented at the Ciseureuh dock to reach this area. Green Canyon is located not far from Batukaras and Nusawiru Airport (31 km south of Pangandaran).

12 Ijen Crater

http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/3/10/24/f_23364536415m_644f7c3.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/10/24/f_23364536415m_644f7c3.jpg&srv=img33)

Ijen Crater is the biggest crater lake in Java. The sulfur crater lake lies between a natural dams of deeply etched rock. It is 200 meters deep and contains about 36million cubic meters of steaming acid water, shrouded in a smelling swirling sulfur cloud. Inside the crater the different color and size of stones are found. Indeed the crater of Ijen is beautiful garden of stone as well.

http://img34.picoodle.com/img/img34/3/12/11/f_3058074733em_55a0163.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/12/11/f_3058074733em_55a0163.jpg&srv=img34)

The Ijen Plateau lies in the centre of the Ijen-Merapi Maelang Reserve, which extends over much of the mountainous region directly west of Banyuwangi and borders on the Baluran National Park in the north east. As at Mt. Bromo , the caldera is best viewed from the air. Fortunately, almost all commercial flights operating between Denpasar - Surabaya, Yogyakarta or Jakarta usually fly, if not directly over, then close by Ijen plateau, where the seemingly luminous blue/green crater lake forms an unmistakable landmark. It is a beautiful scenery and located about 32 km to the north west of Banyuwangi.

http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/1/14/f_18404417770m_741163d.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/14/f_18404417770m_741163d.jpg&srv=img26)

The principal attraction at Ijen is the large, sulphureous crater lake which lies hidden between sheer walls of deeply furrowed rock at more than 200 meters. The Ijen crater itself lies at approximately 2,300 meters above sea level. It forms a twin volcano with the now extinct Mount Merapi. The enormous crater lake, which is 200 meters deep and covers an area of more than meters, a million square meters, contains about 36 million cubic meters of steaming, acid water.

http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/3/2/14/f_23159819139m_2d3bea7.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/14/f_23159819139m_2d3bea7.jpg&srv=img33)

Ijen crater shows a special type of volcanic feature common to Indonesia, about 1 kilometer in diameter and 175 meters deep. The floor is covered completely by a warm lake, milky blue green in colours held back by a dam built many years ago by the Dutch, in order to keep the hot, mineral laden water from raining the crop lands below.

http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/1/14/f_183752872dcm_14d0ed4.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/14/f_183752872dcm_14d0ed4.jpg&srv=img26)

The crater can be reached from either the east or the west by any kinds of vehicles, but the second part of the trip covers distance 3 km on foot (jungle track). However, the latter is more popular approach, since the climb from the road's end to the edge of the lake is only one and a half hours. And a walk around the lake takes a full day.

The temperature drops at night, near the crater rim it can fall to about 5° Celcius. The road ends at Jampit, where very basic shelter is available. It is also possible to sleep in the old vulcanology station further up the hill, now used by sulphur collectors, but permission must be obtained in advance.

13 Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/1/17/f_2678925933cm_4d3bba2.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/17/f_2678925933cm_4d3bba2.jpg&srv=img37)

Bukit Barisan Selatan (BBS) National Park is the third largest protected area (3,568 km2) in Sumatra. The park is the main watershed for southwestern Sumatra, providing water and ecological services to local communities.

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/1/17/f_3617377783fm_d581dda.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/17/f_3617377783fm_d581dda.jpg&srv=img37)

Its elongated shape makes it difficult to protect, because the ratio of boundary-to-interior is so high. The eastern boundary tends to follow the watershed, while the western boundary is located close to the foot of the mountains, and, in some areas, follows the coastline. A series of protected forest areas were created to form a buffer zone on the eastern side of the Park, but all of these have swallowed up by human encroachment.

http://img18.picoodle.com/img/img18/3/3/4/samuel89/f_f2585651140m_279e30e.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/3/4/samuel89/f_f2585651140m_279e30e.jpg&srv=img18)

Bukit Barisan Selatan is one of the highest priority areas for Sumatran megafauna, and in particular, for the Sumatran rhino, the Sumatran tiger, and the Sumatran elephant. It is home to the second largest population of Sumatran rhinos (Dicerorhinos sumatrensis sumatrensis), estimated between 60 and 85 animals. Sumatran rhinos have declined at a rate of 50% over the past 10 years, largely from deforestation and habitat fragmentation. There are now about 250 surviving, most on the island of Sumatra, with a remnant population on the island of Borneo.

http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/3/1/16/f_7216673443dm_2bf5cc3.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/16/f_7216673443dm_2bf5cc3.jpg&srv=img33)

Bukit Barisan’s elephant population was estimated to be about 500 a few years ago – now comprising about one-fourth of Sumatra’s elephant population. However, because of the Park’s configuration and associated difficulties in protection, combined with a paucity of substantial tracts of lowland forest and burgeoning encroachment into the Park for agriculture, human-elephant conflict is high. Crop raiding remains a threat – and killing of crop-raiding elephants, using guns or poison, is still occurring. Nevertheless, elephants are still common in
most of BBS and their spoor can be seen in many places.

Other species also are present in significant numbers in Bukit Barisan Selatan (including the clouded leopard, tapir, sambar, barking deer, wild boar, siamang, gibbon, and Sumatran hare) and also are at risk. Deer and pig are the main prey of Sumatran tigers, and also attract hunters. Poaching of wildlife is increasing, both from “traditional” hunters using snares and other older methods, as well as from “sportsmen”, using firearms. Firearms are widely available in the area, and sometimes are provided by the army or police. With subtle support from these groups, poachers are becoming more aggressive.

Dieng Volcanic Complex (also called the Dieng Plateau) is a complex volcano. A complex volcano is an extensive assemblage of spatially, temporally, and genetically related major and minor volcanic centers with the associated lava flows and pyroclastic rocks. This is another place worth visiting in Central Java, situated around 2000 m above sea level and 100 km from Borobudur. This area northwest of Yogyakarta is in the volcanic mountains and over 2,000 meters elevation. The name "Dieng" means "abode of the gods."

There the visitor can find restarted temples build around year 800, colorful lakes and steaming ones. On the road we will see how the farmer use all the land available by using terraces. It's also fresher up here and we are almost above the clouds. The plateau, located 2,093 meters above sea level, offers two sunrises, the golden sunrise and the silver sunrise. Both are equally amazing natural phenomena. The golden sunrise refers to the first sunrise between 5:30 and 6 a.m. It is said to be golden because of its sparkling golden red color. We can enjoy this sunrise from a viewing post at a height of 1,700 meters above sea level in Wonosobo. The place, located in a mountainous area, is easily accessible because the roads leading to this area are all paved.

After savoring the beauty of the double sunrise, a natural phenomenon perhaps found only on Dieng Plateau, we could still enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature. Walk about 10 minutes over a distance of some two kilometers to the southeast of the temple where there is a colorful lake. From the top of a hill the lake reflects a greenish yellow color, the reflection of the sulfate acid that the lake water contains. Beside this colorful lake there is another lake with pristine water. Locals call it the mirror lake because the water is very clear. The surface of the lake water also reflects sunlight. Unfortunately, this beautiful morning panorama is slightly impaired by the rampant felling of trees around the lakes. Unless the tree feeling is checked, this beautiful panorama will soon vanish for good.

Eruptions have contributed immensely to the hills north of Bandung through lava flowing into the valleys and hardening into rock, thus forming big cliffs over which waterfalls leap. Likewise, mud flows have formed a semi-circular cone of gentle gradient (what geologists call "a fan"), which is now a mass that blocked the valley of the ancient Citarum River near present day in Padalarang (some 18 km west of Bandung), this caused a lake to form covering the whole Bandung pla

The cafes might seem common and usual, but many of them actually serve European dishes which is out of the ordinary for this setting. Planning to spend the night? Some of the local cafes offer humble accommodations at a reasonable price (ranged between Rp 50,000 to Rp 200,000 per night). In the evening, enjoy the sunset whilst several tourists build a campfire on the beach, or just play a light game of beach ball. As for me, I prefer swimming offshore and enjoy the sunset from there.

There are not many activities to be done here at night. The electricity is turned off after 10 pm and thus candles are lit to chase away the deep darkness of the night. After having dinner, the best thing you can do is to read a book or have a draft of cold beer. Otherwise, you can go upstairs to where most of the rooms are and enjoy the scenery. The moon’s reflection dancing in a flurry of lights on the ocean’s surface is simply breathtaking.

During the peak season (July and December), some of the rooms on this floor will be more packed so at least you are not alone and will have company to chat with along with your own group of friends. It is always interesting meeting other travelers and sharing experiences. When you finally feel like sleeping, go back to your room and snuggle under the blanket. The lullaby of tides breaking on the shore is such a peaceful sound to sleep to. Being in Dreamland is like being in a dream you wish you will never wake up from.

Siberut island recently received international attention as a priority conservation area, for the unique culture of the ethnic Mentawaian and endemicity of its biodiversity that need to be preserved. Although the island has plenty to offer, the potential has not been utilized fully especially for tourism.

Although Siberut is only a small island, the internal variations in language, culture, life styles, and in resources is rather substantial. There is no clear indication of when the first man arrived on Siberut, but anthropologist suggest that the bataks of North Sumatra first settled on the island several thousand years ago. In many ways, the people of Siberut are among the most archaic people in Indonesia.

At its western edge it is fringed by Flores and Komodo, home of the legendary Komodo Dragons. Along the south, an endless chain of islands offer pristine reefs washed by strong currents that bring with them both large and small marine life in incredible numbers. To the north are the teeming marine jungles of Ambon and Raja Ampat.

Finally, scattered across the otherwise barren middle of the sea are islands such as Gunung Api which have become oases of marine life...including the largest known congregations of sea snakes!

The Banda Sea is the sea of the South Moluccas in Indonesia. Technically, it is part of the Pacific Ocean, but it is separated from it by hundreds of islands and the Halmahera and Ceram Seas. Some of the bordering islands include Sulawesi to the west, Ambon, Buru, Ceram, Timor, and more.

Although the middle of the sea is vast and largely open (with a few notable exceptions), its borders are particularly hazardous to navigation -- many small rocky islands are uncharted. The Banda Sea covers nearly 500,000 km².

42 Sentarum Lake National Park

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/1/17/f_15103359318m_8ef7e8f.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/17/f_15103359318m_8ef7e8f.jpg&srv=img37)

Danau Sentarum National Park represents lake wetland, freshwater swamp forest, and tropical rain forest ecosystems.

Danau (Lake) Sentarum, a seasonal lake, is located in part of the Kapuas River Basin, about 700 km from the estuary that flows into the South China Sea. Surrounded by hills and highland, Lake Sentarum forms an important water catchment area, and at the same time regulates the water flow through the Kapuas watershed. All the areas downstream are therefore highly dependent on the fluctuating water level of the lake.

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/1/17/f_21935035281m_336d2fa.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/17/f_21935035281m_336d2fa.jpg&srv=img37)

The drainage system from this freshwater lake and flooded forest makes Lake Sentarum quite distinct from other lakes. Its reddish-black water is a result of the tannin from the surrounding peat swamp forest. In the rainy season, the depth of the lake may reach 6-8 metres, flooding the surrounding areas and forest. During the dry season, when the level of the Kapuas river gradually drops, water from Lake Sentarum flows into Kapuas to restore the water deficit and keep the water level of the river relatively stable. Eventually, when the dry season reaches its climax, Lake Sentarum and the surrounding areas become a vast stretch of dry land, the fish from the lake inhabiting small, scattered ponds.

Danau Sentarum National Park has been declared an International Wetland Site under the Ramsar Convention in 1992. The local people around Danau Sentarum National Park belong to the Dayak tribes like the Iban, Sebaruk, Sontas, Punan and they still live in a very traditional way. The characteristic longhouses (betang) vary in size according to the number of people occupying them. This could be between five and 30 families. A typical longhouse occupied by fifteen to thirty families would have an average length of 186 metres and a width of 6 metres. The local way of life is fascinating for tourists; the atmosphere of the betang is harmonious, simple, and friendly, and visitors will usually be treated to a traditional Dayak dance.

Mount Batur, located less than an hour from north Bangli, is a mall volcano that still active in this island. Created by an eruption of Mount Batur approximately 30,000 years ago. It sets in the hearth of a huge crater 14 km in diameter and 65 meters deep.

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/1/15/f_2577688981dm_6f024c7.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/15/f_2577688981dm_6f024c7.jpg&srv=img37)

The temple of Pura Danu Batur on the rim is dedicated to the Goddess of the Lake. The lake often becomes shrouded in mist but one can catch breathtakingly stunning views from the many vantage points along the rim. Hot springs at the lake's edge reach temperatures of 57 degrees Celsius while the rest of the lake is somewhat cooler.

As the road rises steadily from Bangli or Tampaksiring, nothing in the surrounding grey landscape of bushes and garden plots suggest the presence of a volcano. But over, one more small ridge a dizzying view awaits the eyes, encompassing the crater and beyond. From Penelokan, the main road runs right round the rim towards Kintamani, the panorama shifting as circling around the crater. Danau Batur is Bali's largest lake and cribbed with the calderas of an active volcano named Gunung Batur.

45 Meru Betiri National Park

Meru Betiri National Park covers 580 square kilometres (58,000 hectares) of eastern Java. It receives few tourists as accessibility is very difficult and the drive is a long bumpy trip, even by 4WD. The 30 kilometre trip crosses half a dozen rivers as it winds its way through dense forest and a runner plantation. As visitors near the park the potholes just get larger and the ride more unpleasant. It is perhaps unnecessary to point out how beneficial this is for the wildlife of the area.

Named after the highest mountain in the area, Gunung Betiri, the park consists of one of the last large areas of lowland rainforest on Java. Amongst this are mangroves, lowland swamp forest and beach formations.

http://img19.picoodle.com/img/img19/3/1/18/f_27353250186m_f150525.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/18/f_27353250186m_f150525.jpg&srv=img19)

Conservation efforts are primarily concentrated on the nearby turtle nesting beaches, particularly at Sukamade, where the turtles are monitored and protected during egg laying. Green, leatherback, hawksbill, Olive Ridley and loggerhead turtles uses the same beaches.

Tagging of turtles has been taking place for some years. Together with the use of hatcheries, this has seen the populations stabilize and increase. Arriving between 9 p.m. and midnight, the turtles crawl determinedly up the beach, deposit up to 100 eggs beneath half a metre of sand and then return to the water; this takes some hours. Turtle Wardens collect the eggs and bury them where they will be secure from poachers and leopards. These big cats wait patiently in the hope of an opportunity to grab an easy meal.

Meru Betiri National Park now faces ravaging by, not one, but by three separate mining companies. 80,000 tons of gold deposits have been found located within the area of east Java and three, possibly four, companies have joined forces for an application to mine the area. This has already been approved by local government officials who described the land as a local asset to be exploited by third parties. Before making their decision officials enquired about employment opportunities, data on the findings, and what income there would be for the region. There was no recorded mention of wildlife conservation.

http://img19.picoodle.com/img/img19/3/1/18/f_27345794770m_f19e7c9.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/18/f_27345794770m_f19e7c9.jpg&srv=img19)

Until recent times, the primary focus at Meru Betiri has been that of conservation. This has changed with the mining opportunity and increased promotion of tourism for this area. With ever increasing demands for 'Adventure Tourism', and thrill-seeking, efforts are being made to attract more visitors. This will inevitably be at the expense of the wildlife in the area.

46 Thousand Islands

Thousand Isles near Jakarta has been a favorite destination for ages. Paradiso, containing four island's Kahyangan (formerly known as Cipir), Bidadari (used to be called Sakit), Onrust and Kelor offer spectacular views of the forest and the sea. The name Paradiso indeed comes from Paradise, for 'Kahyangan' in Indonesian means 'Heaven' in English, and 'Bidadari' means 'Angel'. Dotted throughout Jakarta Bay are 120 tropical islands and coral atolls known, rather misleadingly, as the Thousand Islands.

52 Lake Matano

http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/3/1/23/f_983430129d1m_272d016.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/23/f_983430129d1m_272d016.jpg&srv=img33)

Lake Matano (Indonesian Danau Matano), also known as Matana, is a natural lake in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is the deepest lake in Indonesia and South East Asia (ranked by maximum depth), and the 8th deepest lake in the world.

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/1/23/f_984525618aem_47b6ee9.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/23/f_984525618aem_47b6ee9.jpg&srv=img37)

Lake Matano is home to many species of endemic fish and other animals as well as many plants. The endemic fishes of Matano have been compared to that of the species swarms of the Rift Valley Lakes of Africa. While not as diverse, they are thought to have all arisen from a single ancestor species and diversified into numerous different species, which now fill many of the previously vacant ecological niches.

http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/3/1/23/f_983517175a1m_b60ebf5.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/23/f_983517175a1m_b60ebf5.jpg&srv=img33)

Despite Lake Matano's remote location, it is the site of Pt. INCO, one of the largest nickel mines in the world, which carries out strip mining in the surrounding rainforest. The company cuts down trees and strips the topsoil to be baked in kilns to extract the nickel. Not only has this led to massive damage to the unique rainforest of the area but it has also had serious detrimental effects on the lake, with far higher sediment loads in the rivers feeding into Lake Matano, often with toxic levels of mining waste.

http://img34.picoodle.com/img/img34/3/1/23/f_28523899581m_90a97dc.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/1/23/f_28523899581m_90a97dc.jpg&srv=img34)

The waters of Lake Matano are exceptionally clear, visibility is good, and many of the fish species are highly dependent on visual cues and colour perception for their mating behaviour. If the sediment washing into the lake continues to increase, the likelihood is that many of these endemic species will be lost.

The waters around Pulau Maratua are still a secret to be discovered. There is something for all types of divers.

http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/2/3/f_2055440074dm_8708796.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/3/f_2055440074dm_8708796.jpg&srv=img26)

Whether you want to see the large pelagic life, search for the smallest an weirdest critters, snorkel in a huge jellyfish lake or watch mandarin fish mate on our house reef: there is more to see than you can imagine!And it is no exaggeration that Maratua is the Turtle Capital of Indonesia: because of the turtle breeding grounds we guarantuee you will see turtles when you dive here. In fact, it will be pretty hard to make a dive without turtles.

http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/2/3/f_okm_e55a63f.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/3/f_okm_e55a63f.jpg&srv=img26)

Due to the constant currents, you will find very healthy reefs and excellent coral growth. The variety and size of the corals around Maratua and nearby islands can hardly be found in other popular and famous sites.

But the best thing about the currents is the underwater visibility. This visibility rivals most other dive sites and it is no exception to have a visibility of 100ft/30m and (much) more.

http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/2/3/f_coral1m_8bae198.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/3/f_coral1m_8bae198.jpg&srv=img26)

Diving around Maratua means diving with relaxed currents. You will find an amazing underwater life. But if you enjoy thrills: dive in the soaring currents of the channel: a narrow opening in the reef through which water flows into the Maratua lagoon. You will see sharks, rays, large schools of pelagic fish, etc. And at the end of the day you jump from the jetty into our house reef, to check out the mating mandarin fish, the stargazers, leaffish, cuttlefish, and a lot more. The sunset dives here are famous!

http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/2/3/f_10983816626m_4a571ef.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/3/f_10983816626m_4a571ef.jpg&srv=img26)

Maratua and the surrounding islands offer excellent wall dives and spectacular drop-offs. While other dive sites have a gentle or steep reefs. There is a great variety in underwater geography, so no two dives will be the same.

http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/2/3/f_coral2m_497870a.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/3/f_coral2m_497870a.jpg&srv=img26)

Once a week (depending on the weather and sea conditions) we visit the islands of Sangalaki and Kakaban. Sangalaki is famous for it’s large schools of manta rays.

http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/2/3/f_coral3m_5c004f2.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/3/f_coral3m_5c004f2.jpg&srv=img26)

It is not unusual to find schools of up to 40-50 manta rays!
On Kakaban you will dip into the 5 square km jellyfish lake. An amazing sight! But we will also make some spectacular dives along the reef walls where we may run into grey sharks, leopard sharks or an occasional hammerhead.

http://img18.picoodle.com/img/img18/3/2/5/f_23636257129m_a7d74ef.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/5/f_23636257129m_a7d74ef.jpg&srv=img18)

If seen from its tourism sector, Belitung is an island with beautiful beaches, the unique landscape with its purely white sand, and the crystal clear seawater.

http://img18.picoodle.com/img/img18/3/2/5/f_gfjm_bed87d2.png (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/5/f_gfjm_bed87d2.png&srv=img18)

72 Gili Trawangan

http://img18.picoodle.com/img/img18/3/2/6/f_75847807766m_6f751d5.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/6/f_75847807766m_6f751d5.jpg&srv=img18)

Gili Trawangan, the most popular among the three Gili’s. Just kick back and enjoy the sun, nightly beach parties and sea. The main stripe is full of accommodations, restaurants, and dive shops. If you are seeking a quieter place to stay there are bungalows in the north.

http://img18.picoodle.com/img/img18/3/2/6/f_758474497cfm_2ba202b.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/6/f_758474497cfm_2ba202b.jpg&srv=img18)

This Island is also known as "Party Island", where mostly young European find themselves "Lost In Paradise". If you come during the Peak Season (July-August, December-January), most places are full and prices are doubled. An advanced reservation is a must.

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/2/5/f_75861579597m_9aa9475.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/5/f_75861579597m_9aa9475.jpg&srv=img37)

With spectacular sunrises over Lombok's Mount Rinjani volcano and breathtaking sunsets that illuminate Bali's towering Mount Agung volcano, together with warm hospitality of the Gili Trawangan residents, it's not surprising that most visitors end up staying longer than originally plan. Most of the accommodation centrally located on south east of Gili Trawangan. A few new establishments of bungalows with a better facilities are now available.

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/2/5/f_75853012112m_385f95b.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/5/f_75853012112m_385f95b.jpg&srv=img37)

Places in the front (beach line) are more expensive. The upmarket accommodation is no longer dominated by Villa Ombak and Villa Almarik. There are many new quality boutique resorts are now available (see places to stay, updated recently). Gili Trawangan is more developed than other Gilis for the last few years. There are also a few places to stay around the north and south west coast in more quiet atmosphere.

73 Sempu Island

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/2/6/f_2445190060dm_f52cc9b.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/6/f_2445190060dm_f52cc9b.jpg&srv=img37)

Spanning from east to west over 3.9 kilometers, with beaches that are aligned with steep and lime caved cliffs. That is, at a glance, the picture of 'Pulau Sempu' located in the eastern part of Java Island.

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/2/6/f_24451977243m_528f922.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/6/f_24451977243m_528f922.jpg&srv=img37)

'Pulau' (island) 'Sempu' is located about 70 kilometers south of the center of 'Malang' city, East Java. Technically, this island is a nature reservation under the jurisdiction of the 'BKSDA' IV (natural resources conservation station) in Malang. While from a government administrative point of view the area is included in the Biru Settlement. 'Tambakrejo' Village, 'Sumbermanjing Wetan' Sub-District, Regency of 'Malang', of East Java.

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/2/6/f_gfm_78ac8b7.png (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/6/f_gfm_78ac8b7.png&srv=img37)

The area of the island stretches 3.9 kilometers from east to west, and 3.6 kilometers from north to south. The topography of the island is for almost 50% made up of hilly plains, with slopes ranging from average to steep, at altitudes of 50 to 100 meters above sea level. The larger part of the beaches aligned with steep lime rock cliffs, which is the characteristic of the islands along the Indian Ocean.

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/2/6/f_3076191808dm_875b8ca.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/6/f_3076191808dm_875b8ca.jpg&srv=img37)

This character is also specific for the islands along the south and east of Java Island. Certainly, such terrain makes it difficult for the fishermen to moor their boats. But, such a condition also decides that the 'Sendang Biru' Beach, which is located north of 'Sempu' island, has quiet waves. Because of that, this beach is the safest harbor along the southern stretch of the Indian Ocean, and is the largest fish landing spot along the southern beach of Java Island.

74 Mount Batukaru and Tamblingan (Buyan) Lake

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/2/6/f_30587264388m_ef76b47.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/6/f_30587264388m_ef76b47.jpg&srv=img37)

Mt. Batukaru (2200 m) is the second highest mountain to Mt Agung (3142 m). The word Batukaru translated means, “The Coconut Shell Rock”. Mount Batukaru is an extinct volcano.

Trekking to the summit of Batukaru is a 6 - 7 hour trip to the summit, and 5 hours to return. A medium to high level of fitness is required - it can be very steep in parts of the climb. A day return trip should be started around 6 am to allow time to return in daylight. Alternatively, an over night stay at the summit in tents or under the stars can make the trip a more enjoyable experience. Note: This walk is not recommended for children under 10 years old.

What You Will SeeThe trek to the summit for the most part is shaded by tropical rainforest. The trail is narrow and unsealed. You will climb from 700 m ascending to 2200 m. You will pass small mountain temples on the way, that can only be entered if you are wearing a sash.

On the trek you will see Giant Fig trees, Native Orchids, epiphytes and incredible Pandanas trees. Your guide will pick native bush foods for you to try. Although this is the home of the small deer (Kijang), wild cats (civet) and Rhesus/Leaf eating monkeys the only likely evidence that you will see is their droppings on the trail. From the summit on a clear day you will see the crater of Batukaru, the lakes of Bedugul, Lombok, Java and Bali. You may find you are above the clouds…

As stunningly beautiful above water as it is below, Raja Ampat (which literally translates as “The Four Kings”) has a startling diversity of habitats to explore. Each of these – from the stark wave-pounded slopes that drop away beneath the karst cliffs of Wayag and Uranie to the deep, nutrient-rich bays of Mayalibit, Kabui and Aljui to the “blue water mangrove” channels of Kofiau and Gam to the plankton-rich upwelling areas of Misool and the Dampier Strait – are home to unique assemblages of species that, when taken together, add to produce the most impressive species lists ever compiled for a coral reef system of this size.

Wow! That is so nice. What an awesome place. Water looks gorgeous too, but probably shark infested??

I also like that National Marine Park a lot. It looks incredible. At least in the pictures. I'm sure I'd like to spend a short vacation around those places.

The mountain air is cool and the sulfur-laden water just comfortably hot enough for swimming as and soaking in. Part of the scenery is a 25 m high waterfall set against a steep mountain cliff. This is tiny waterfall.

Bledug Kuwu is one of tourist attractions in Wirosari area in Grobogan Region, Purwodadi, Central Java. Bledug Kuwu is a local name for something that burst in pool. This is rather strange pool that far from volcano. The vapor burst came from carbon dioxide release.

http://img19.picoodle.com/img/img19/3/3/4/samuel89/f_26264504497m_318e418.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/3/4/samuel89/f_26264504497m_318e418.jpg&srv=img19)

The temperature is mild. Visitors might experience a stunning natural occurrence of small, frequent bursts from mud crate with a sound resembling a mount eruption. This natural phenomenon is resulted from geothermal motion inside the earth bed. Witness said that a big burst could even create small quakes that quiver the area.

http://img19.picoodle.com/img/img19/3/3/4/samuel89/f_32928173966m_3c85143.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/3/4/samuel89/f_32928173966m_3c85143.jpg&srv=img19)


Bledug Kuwu looks like just another muddy pond. But every one or two minutes, the placid water erupts in an explosion of mud, followed by a plume of white steam. The pond is located just off the alternative road connecting Purwodadi and Cepu in Central Java, on a site measuring some 4.5 hectares. Bledug Kuwu has become a tourist attraction in the area.

http://img19.picoodle.com/img/img19/3/3/4/samuel89/f_32919973970m_ab091b9.jpg (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/3/4/samuel89/f_32919973970m_ab091b9.jpg&srv=img19)

The visitors can watch the geyser from a distance of between 10 meters and 20 meters. The eruptions of water and mud shift positions from time to time. But there are two spots where the geyser regularly erupts. The locals call the one in the east Mbah (Grandpa) Jokotua and the one in the west Mbah (Grandma) Rodenok. They have given the spots where the geyser erupts names, as they believe that the place is sacred.

Candidasa, Karangasem, Bali
Located on the northeastern coast of Bali, is the small village of Candidasa. A tranquil coastal area nestled between the Lombok Strait to the east and mountains to the west, Candidasa is within close proximity to many historical landmarks of Bali including Bali's mother temple, Pura Besakih, Tenganan (the aboriginal people of Bali) as well as the ferry terminal to Lombok Island. Some of the best diving and snorkeling areas in Bali are also within the Candidasa area. As Candidasa has become more popular with day-trippers, the demand for accommodations and eatery places has grown to wide selection that ranges from star rated properties to simple homestays. All in all, Candidasa is a great place to go for a few days of relaxation.

The main attraction of Candi Dasa is a dazzling landscape of the beach. Blighted by jetties protruding into the water, intended to slowdown the erosion caused by coral blasting for years.

Pererenan beach is another surfing spot with a selection of villas close by. Navigating your way to Pererenan Beach can be tricky at first, particularly at night, as the whole area is a mixture of Balinese villages that all look alike and rice fields.
Besides Echo Beach, Bali's west coast, Pererenan Beach is an exposed beach and reef break that has dependable surf.

Ratu Boko Palace

http://jogja.travelbuck.net/cdn/ratu-boko-2.jpg

http://jogja.travelbuck.net/cdn/ratu-boko-1.jpg

Ratu Boko is an archaeological site known to modern Javanese as Kraton Ratu Boko or Ratu Boko’s Palace. Ratu Boko is located on a plateau, about three kilometres south of Lara Jonggrang Prambanan temple complex in Yogyakarta Indonesia. The original name of this site is still unclear, however the local inhabitants named this site after King Boko, the legendary king mentioned in Loro Jonggrang folklore.

The site covers 16 hectares in two hamlets (Dawung and Sambireja) of the village of Bokoharjo and Prambanan. In striking contrast to other Classic-period sites in Central Java and Yogyakarta, which are remains of temples, Ratu Boko displays attributes of an occupation or settlement site, although its precise functions is unknown. Probably the site was a palace complex which belongs to the kings of Sailendra or Mataram Kingdom that also build temples scattered across Prambanan Plain. The argument was based on the fact that this complex was not a temple nor building with religious nature, but a fortified palace instead which evidence in the remnant of fortified walls and the dry moat as defensive structures. The remains of settlements also founds in Ratu Boko vicinity. This site is located 196 m above the sea level, on the highest point in the site, there is a small pavilion from which one will be able to see a panoramic view of Prambanan temple with Mount Merapi as the background.
