Indonesia

A country that defies description, Indonesia lines the equator for 5,000kms and is kaleidoscope of cultures, customs, peoples and languages. Java is home to capital Jakarta, cultural and artistic centre Yogyakarta and the Mount Bromo volcano. Explore the friendly island of Bali including artistic Ubud, home to painters, carvers, weavers and dancers, east Bali and traditional ikat weaving villages. Nearby are the jungles and volcanic landscapes of Sumatra and the gorgeous beaches of the Gili Islands. Further east are Lombok’s white-sand beaches and traditional villages whilst the isolated island of Komodo is inhabited by the legendary creature from which it gets its name. To the north is Kalimantan, home to one of the world’s last great rainforests and refuge to the endangered orang-utan. Pettitts Travel specialises in providing quality, tailor-made holidays and tours to Indonesia.
