Indonesia trip planning for Malaysians
Plan Indonesia with clear answers
You have a few days of leave and a long list of islands, so start with the trip that fits.
Where Malaysians start
- Bali, planned for Malaysian travellersYou have limited leave, a family to keep happy and one island everyone keeps recommending.
- Lake Toba, planned for Malaysian travellersYou want cool lake air and Batak culture, and you worry about the long road from Medan.
- Lombok, planned for Malaysian travellersYou want quieter beaches than the busiest island and need to know what the roads ask.
- Yogyakarta, planned for Malaysian travellersYou want temples, craft and slow streets, and your parents cannot climb or walk all day.
- Batam, planned for Malaysian travellersYou have a weekend, a short ferry ride in mind and a fair worry about value.
- Bintan, planned for Malaysian travellersYou want a resort break close to Johor, without spending half your leave on the way.
