Southeast Asia on a Shoestring - Timor-Leste (PDF Chapter)

This is the Timor-Leste chapter from Lonely Planet’s Southeast Asia on a Shoe-string guidebook.

• maps
• climb to the peak of Timor-Leste’s highest mountain, Mt Ramelau, at dawn to watch the sun rise over the clouds
• transport
• enjoy a day lazing about on Jaco Island’s powder-white sands, with dazzling snorkelling just offshore
