Индонезия

Об Индонезии большинство знают по курортному Бали. Небольшому острову на Юго Востоке страны. Но кроме балийских пляжей есть Ява с ее природой и храмами.
Рассказывая о храмах чаще всего слышно самый.
В первую очередь это конечно Борободур. Самая большая в мире буддийская ступа. Название означает «храм на горе». Боро — переиначенное на яванский лад санскритское слово «вихара» — монастырь, «бодур» в переводе с древнеяванского означает гора. Самая большая в Юго Восточной Азии мечеть Истикляль. Один из самых древних (более 1000 лет) храмовый комплекс Прамбанан. История страны интересна, тем как четыре раза меняла свою государственную религию. Каждый раз, приспосабливая ее к своим обычаям и верованиям
Вера в духов предков оказалась сильнее и индуизма и буддизма и христианства. А ислам имеет настолько свое индонезийское лицо, что в пору говорить о его новой ветви.
На Суматре самый большой заповедник по спасению, исчезающих суматранских тигров. И, конечно же знаменитые Комодские Драконы. Самые большие в мире ящеры, предки динозавров.
Удобнее всего прилететь в страну в ее столицу Джакарта и оттуда отправиться на поезде исследовать остров Ява. Через Джокьякарту в Сурабаю, посетив все известные храмы и вулканы.Затем заехать на Бали и, отдохнув пару дней на пляже, отправиться в Komodo National Park на встречу с Драконами. Закончить свое путешествие лучше всего на самом большом острове страны. Суматра, ее тропические влажные леса и животные, которых больше нигде не встретить, доброжелательные люди навсегда останутся в памяти.

Welcome to Lombok.


Welcome to Lombok. Like most of the islands in Indonesia’s archipelago it centres around a volcano, Mt Rinjani, all 3,726 metres of it. Lombok is a tourist dream, not yet discovered by the world. White sand beaches are everywhere, often protected by coral reefs thus keeping the waves down to a safe level for the inexperienced. Welcome to Lombok.

Restaurant Name ( if you know it )
by Hotel to discover whether a particular hotel has any of it's restaurants listed, so far, in this guide, select the hotel in question from the appropiate drop-down box.
Alphabetical Listing
Some listings will be repeated under a number of different headings. A Japanese restaurant may have enough of a seafood selection to warrant inclusion under that heading as well, or a place may have a better than average selection of two different cuisines.
A warung is an Indonesian café or small restaurant, most often family-run, where people go to eat rather than for a night out. These are only listed when they are considered suitable for foreigners and give an insight into local food. If the warung makes a good enough attempt at western food, then they may also be included in the International section.
To further help you identify what you want, we use three different icons for places that qualify:

Breakfast

Live Music

Good Bar

100% Halal

Tells you that a choice of hot western style breakfasts is available.
Live music features in the evenings, at least on some nights.
Denotes that the bar in the restaurant is suitable for patronising, whether you are eating there or not.
Denotes places that claim to serve food that is 100% Halal
All listings are quantified as to price. This refers to a meal for two persons [food only, drinks not included]. For western style food this is calculated as to the average cost of enjoying three courses, entrée, main and dessert. For Asian style food where, traditionally, the meal is shared by all participants; a mix of entrees [if suitable] and mains to make up a full dinner has been the base used for the price of that establishment.

Cost is grouped as:
Very Cheap - under Rp. 100,000 for two persons
Cheap - Rp. 100,000-200,000
Moderate - Rp. 200,000-500,000
Expensive - Rp. 500,000-900,000
Very Expensive - More than Rp. 900,000
