About Indonesia

Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia, located between the Indian and Pacific oceans. It is the 4th most populous country in the world with over 260 million inhabitants. The country consists of more than 17,000 islands, which makes it the largest island country in the world. It is packed with beaches, volcanoes, tropical jungles, exotic animals, and culture. This wonderful country invites any adventurous traveler to explore its dramatic landscape. Today, Indonesia is also a potential medical tourism destination. Although it is not as popular as its neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand in terms of medical tourism, the country actually houses numerous excellent medical centers. Many of the medical practitioners are well-trained and can communicate in English. The medical centers are equipped with cutting-edge technology and offer a wide range of affordable treatments. Some of the most sought-after treatments are blepharoplasty, liposuction, and breast augmentation.

Popular Parts of Indonesia

From busy metropolises, and sparkling beaches, to tropical rainforests, tourists will be able to find anything they want here.

• Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia. It is the melting pot of Indonesia's many cultures because thousands of people from all over the country live and work here. The city is home to numerous museums, some of which are the biggest in the country, such as the National Museum of Indonesia and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara (MACAN). The most famous landmark in the city is the National Monument or Monas which commemorates the Indonesian struggle for independence. The city also has a unique old city known as Kota Tua, where tourists can find many interesting colonial buildings.  
• Bali is Indonesia’s main tourist destination which attracts more than 15 million tourists every year. The island is packed with striking beaches, diverse marine life, jungle-covered mountains, lively nightlife, opulent culture, and spiritual energy.

Tourists who are eager to learn about the region’s past can wander around Taman Sari, a park of palaces, pools, and waterways belonging to the sultan.
• Medan is the largest city on the island of Sumatra and it is a gateway to the western part of Indonesia as well as a busy trading city.

The island, named Samosir, is almost as big as Singapore. This enormous lake has a depth of 450 meters, making it more like an ocean rather than a lake. The clear lake with picturesque mountains in the background gives an incredible view that will leave anyone in awe.
• Bandung is widely known as Parijs van Java or the Paris of Java because of its resemblance to Paris and European cities.

Weather and Climate in Indonesia

Indonesia experiences an entirely tropical climate. The average temperatures can vary based on the area. Coastal areas have an average temperature of 28 °C, the inland and mountain areas have an average of 26 °C, and the higher mountain areas have an average of 23 °C. There are two seasons in the country, but the seasons can start differently in each region. Generally, June to October is the dry season and November to March is the rainy season. The dry season is influenced by the Australian continental air masses and has a slightly cooler temperature than the rainy season. Tourists can expect mostly sunny days, but there will be some short rain showers. The rainy season can be very humid, and wet, and has a significant amount of rain.

Getting Around in Indonesia

Indonesia is well-connected by airports in almost every region. However, the largest airports are Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta and Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali. Both airports serve domestic and international flights to major cities around the globe. There are budget airlines in almost every airport, including Air Asia, Citilink, and Wings Air. Domestic flights can be rather expensive but will make traveling around the cities a lot easier. 

Getting around the islands of Java and Sumatra can easily be done by trains operated by PT. KAI. There are 5 classes of trains: economy, business, executive, priority, and sleeper. The economy class can be a little uncomfortable and crowded, but tourists can get around several cities for as low as $4. Since the country is an archipelago, tourists can also travel from one island to another by ferry boats (long-distance) and speed boats (short distances such as Bali to Lombok).

Most of the cities will have their own mode of transport. The most common mode of transport is taxis and buses. Taxis are normally metered, but some drivers refuse to use the meter and force tourists to pay a fixed fare. Tourists should avoid riding these kinds of taxis and always insist on using the meter. The most reliable taxi companies are Blue Bird and Express. Bigger cities like Jakarta have MRT, LRT, and KRL (local trains).
