Southeast Asia - Indonesia (Chapter)

This is the Indonesia chapter from Lonely Planet’s Southeast Asia on a Shoestring guidebook.

Indonesia defines adventure: the only limitation is how many of its 17,000 islands you can reach before your visa expires. The nation’s natural diversity is inspiring, and whether it’s a dreamy remote beach, an orang-utan encounter or a Bali all-nighter, Indonesia scores.
