The best time to visit Indonesia is between the months of June and September when the weather is warm and the humidity is low

The wet season runs from May to October when it’s hot and  humid with frequent rain storm and typhoons

the climate here is tropical year-round with two seasons-wet and dry

Choose a combination of one city and two popular beach destinations to make the most of your time, and get a true taste of Indonesia’s diversity when you traveling to Indonesia

Java Island or Bali Island?

a lot of people get confused over which island they should visit first

However it’s quite easy to tell by appearance…they’re both beautiful islands with different landscapes, cultures, and attractions to explore

So it depends on what are you looking for

5 days on Java island and 5 days in Bali, is it possible?

Yes, of course, it’s possible but you can’t be satisfied enjoying everything.

So for your first visit to Indonesia, I suggest that you spend your 10 days only on Java Island

Why? Because Bali island is so touristic and you can visit Bali anytime you want

But you will be more satisfied enjoying many things on the island of Java, although not all of them

The island of Java is huge and the distance from one tourist spot to another is quite far

Day 1 – Jakarta

Arrive at Jakarta International Airport and transfer to the hotel

On the first day, you can explore and enjoy the city of Jakarta

You can visit the national monument ( Monas ) or just relax around the Jalan Jaksa

The area is famous as a gathering place for travelers from all over the world when they first landed in Jakarta

In that area, there are many hostels, hotels, and cafes for travelers.

Day 2 – Bandung- West Java

On the second day, you have to leave in the morning for the city of Bandung, West Java because the trip takes 3-4 hours so you can manage your time effectively

You can go by train

economy class ticket price IDR 90,000

executive IDR 125,000

I assume you arrive in Bandung at noon or lunchtime

You can go to the nearest hotel from the train station http://tiny.cc/3t83vz

very strategically located because it is in the city center and so close to the train station

You can stay for 2 days in Bandung

The spot that must be visited is Lembang, a plateau to the north of the city of Bandung

or you can go to the Kawah Putih ( White crater ) to the south

But you only choose either north or south because the location is far away and the traffic is congested

Day 3: Heading to Yogyakarta

On the 3rd day, you leave in the morning for the city of Yogyakarta

You can order the Lodaya train to Yogyakarta

ticket prices between IDR 250-300 thousand

The train departs at 8.30 am and reaches the city of Yogyakarta at around 16.00 pm

then you can go straight to the hotel, by the way I suggest you stay around Prawirotaman Street because that area is downtown, only 30 minutes to Parangtrits beach, and nightlife is awesome.

there are many cool hotels such Java vilagge==>http://tiny.cc/3u83vz

Day 4- Prambanan Temple

On day 4 you can visit Prambanan temple which is about 17 km from your location to the east.

One of the reasons why I recommend you to stay around Jalan Prawirotaman is the easy access to transportation

You can rent a motorbike for a price range between IDR 80,000-IDR 100,000

Or you can use public transportation, namely Trans Jogja with a ticket price of IDR 3500

You can leave in the morning around 9 am

After being satisfied with seeing the Prambanan temple, on your way home, stop by Malioboro Street

This road is very famous in Yogyakarta, all tourists who visit Yogyakarta will definitely visit this place because it is an interesting tourist spot

On day 5, you go to the Yogyakarta palace and enjoy Javanese culture.

You can enjoy Javanese dance performances or enjoy Yogyakarta’s special culinary delights
