Indonesia (Lonely Planet Travel Guides)

Book Description

Stretch your hand through ancient stone latticework to touch the lucky, Buddhas atop Java's majestic Borobudur. Drink with the deceased (and try not to slip on buffalo blood!) at an elaborate and riotous Torajan funeral. Sniff out the infamous durian, scaly salak or spiky rumbutan at a local fruit market. Step aside as a giant Komodo dragon swaggers slowly by, with the confidence only 100kg of top-of-the-food-chain lizard can exude. Eleven authors, more than 300 days of in-country research, 73 ferry trips, 197 detailed maps, 205 bowls of nasi goreng. Includes in-depth information on volcano trekking, surfing, diving, orang-utan watching and the best adventure opportunities across the entire archipelago. BUY NOW
