CONSULATE GENERAL OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA, MUMBAI, INDIA

                                    Welcome to INDONESIA
                       The Most Varied Destination Anywhere
             Indonesia is an adventure into a culturally fasinating and wonderfully scenic paradise.
             The world’s largest archipelago stretches across the equator for more than 5,000
             miles and 17,508 islands along the explosively volcanic and incredibly fertile “Ring of
             Fire”. Tropical Rainforests saturated with vegetation and bursting with life thrive here;
             eternal snow-capped mountain peaks defy the senses and contrast with exotic white-
             sand beaches idling in the laps of warm tropical seas; living forests of coral fringe
             equatorial shores together with a marvelous variety of marine life; orangutans and
             birds of Paradise share this environment with rare orchids and pre-historic dragons;
             awesome volcanoes demonstrate their power and strength over remarkably fertile,
             terraced landscapes; Indonesia, quite literally, provides something for everyone!.
             This is the 4th most populous county in the world with over 210 million people from
             amultitude of ethnic groups, customs, religions and languages. This, in turn, has
             nourished the arts and preserved ancient tradtions which are expressed through
             hypnotic music and exquisite dances, super batik, magnificient paintings and
             remarkable carvings in both wood and stone. Indonesians are indeed united in their
             diversity and intensely proud of their national and regional history which has helped to
             shape the archipelago into one of the most culturally prolific countries on earth.

             LAND : Indonesia is the most volcanic country on earth with almost 4,500 volcanoes creating an incredibly
             fierce and impressive backbone to much of the archipelago. Five main island and 30 smaller archipelagoes
             are home to the majority of the population. The main islands in order of size are; Kalimantan, Sumatra,
             Papua, Sulawesi and the country’s most populated island, Java. As well as sun-drenched plains, layer
             upon layer of verdant paddy fields and jungles bursting with life. Indonesia is also home of snow-capped
             mountains and deserts of sand. “Unity in Diversity” is the national motto and nowhere else is this true
              than in the nation’s land and its people.

             CLIMATE : Indonesia has a largely equatorial tropical climate tempered by trade winds. There are only two
             seasons, the dry season between April and October, the rainy season from November to March. The
             rainfall varies from island to island and often area to area within the island boundaries. An average of 330
             centimeters or 130 inches is found on the island of Kalimantan and 100 centimeters or 40 inches in East
             Nusa Tenggara. The average daily temperature in the lowlands is about 30 degrees Celcius, and is
             considrably lower in the mountains.

             RELIGION : The majority (about 85%) of the population follows islam. Freedom of religion is implemented
             by the Indonesian Constitution, However, Which is defined in the first Principle of the State Philosophy
             “Pancasila”, which upholds a “Belief in One Supreme God.” There are five world religions which have
             formally been recognized in Indonesia, they are Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Hinduism, and Buddhism.
             Nevertheless other, other faiths are found. especially in isolated societies which have been accepted and
             are called traditional faith.

             LANGUAGES & DIALECT : There are about 583 languages and dialects spoken in the archipelago. They
             normally belong to the different echnic group of the population. The variety of those languages has made
             the Indonesian community determined on a national language at the second Indonesian Youths Congress
             on 28th October 1928, called “Bahasa Indonesia”. Bahasa Indonesia was the Malay language mainly spoken
             in the Riau Islands. In all tourist destination areas English is the number one foreign language fairly spoken
             and written, whereas some Dutch is still spoken and understood in the bigger city’s and French increasing
             in its popularity at the better hotels and restaurants.

             FLORA & FAUNA : It was the British naturalist Afred Russel Wallace who, during his travels and discoveries
             across the Malay Archipelago in the last century, noted that deepest sea in the area runs like a deep
             channel between Bali and Lombok and then follows a line north to Kalimantan and Sulawesi. He
                      Indonesia - The most varied destination anywhere
suggested that this channel, now called the “Wallace Line”, effectively divides Indonesia into two very clear regions, both displaying
significant differences in flora and fauna. This is generally true, but it is more accurate, however, to speak of Indonesia being divided
into three distinct zoological and geographical zones which includes a transitional area in the central part of the archipelago. The
Western islands of the Archipelago display predominantly Asian characteristics, which have created orchids and the giant Rafflesia,
(a plant which proudly a bloom over 1 meter in diameter). The land is profusely green and supports tigers, leopards, elephants, rhinos
and thousands of varieties of birds and insects. As we move further east, the Central islands present a gradual shift from Asian to
Australian flora and fauna. Sulawesi for example, boasts both monkeys and marsupials, while Komodo is home to a pre-historic
“dragon” found nowhere else in the world. The Eastern most islands, however, are more indicative of Australasia with bush-like
shrubs and hardy plants; brilliantly colored Lorries and Cukatoos begin to replace Barbets and Thrushes and very Australian marsupials
become more common place. These wonderfully diverse illustrations of life can be found in the islands of this incredible country, much
of which is protected in numerous nature reserves and National parks scattered throughout the archipelago. A constant source of
natural beauty and amazing discoveries help to make Indonesia a dream come true.

MARINE LIFE : Marine tourism has taken-off in Indonesia in a big way, with the establishment of protected Marine Parks, professional dive
centers, certified dive masters and guides, and some of the most colorful, breathtaking sea gardens anywhere in the world. Magnificent coral
reefs, alive with color and set in turquoise seas, support myriad types of fish and other marine life in these warm tropical waters. Some of the
underwater drop-offs are awesome and downward visibility can be as far as 30 meters in some areas. A journey into this extraordinarily vibrant
underwater world is guaranted to be an unforgettable experience for both snorkellers and scuba divers alike and one that you will want to repeat
time and time again.

ART & CRAFT : Indonesian arts and crafts are powerful and wonderul expressions of life, born out of an extraordinarily rich cultural heritage.
Many traditional works of art have been developed in the courts of former kingdoms such as those centered in Java and Bali, forming a integral
part of religious ceremonies. The famous “Wayang” theaters from Java and Bali, for example, originate from ancient Hindu mythology and
feature portions of the Ramayana and Mahabharata epics adapted to suit local conditions and age-old tradions. Mesmerizing performances
can be seen in most places righ across the archipelago and are usually well-attended events. Rigid discipline and artistry are the hallmarks of
dances from Java and Bali, but those of Sumatra, Maluku and most of the other islands (one exception is the Gending Sriwijaya of South
Sumatra) are characterized by a more flexible gracefulness and charm, a distinction which is further accentuated by an entirely different, non-
gamelan, musical accompaniment. Artistic traditions are actively being preserved in Indonesia in the many art and dance schools which
flourish not only in the courts but also in modern, government-run or supervised art academies. The search is continually being conducted for
new expressions, better adapted to modern times but still based on old traditions, creating truly dynamic and powerful cultural foundations for
the future.

CUISINE : Aromatic spices and a variety of hot chili peppers are the essence of most Indonesian dishes, Rice is an important part of the
national diet for most of the archipelago, but in the eastern islands corn, sago, cassava and sweet potatoes are more common. The enormous
wealth of the surroundings seas and oceans, as well as fresh water fisheries, provides an abundance of sea food which can be traditionally
served in a number of exciting ways, including baked in banana leaves. An extensive assortment of tropical and sub-tropical fruit and vegetables
can also be found year-round to tantalize your taste buds.

GETTING AROUND : An extensive transportation network provides access to all but the most secluded of places in Indonesia. Flying is by far
the most convenient way of hopping across the archipelago with a choice of flghts from airports in all provincial and district capitals. Garuda
Indonesia is the national flag carrier and the most well known Indonesia airline, serving international as well as major domestic trunk routes.
Merpati Nusantara has taken over many of Garuda’s domestic routes and now flies to more than 125 destinations all over the country. Other
airlines include Bourau which serves major domestic routes as well as international ones to Singapore. Lion Air, Batavia, Adam Air, Bouraq and
Mandala Airlines are also domestic carriers and they complete the archipelago’s comprehensive airline network. Although flying can be quick
and convenient it doesn’t really provide some opportunities as traveling overland to experience and feel the quintessential spirit of Indonesia.
Trains are available throughout Java and in parts of Sumatra and are invariably enjoyable ways to experience the essence of the country.
Comfortable, air-conditioned trains are available, particularly on those services that connect Central and East Java with the capital city of
Jakarta, including the Bima Trains (via Yogyakarta and Surakarta), the Argo Bromo Anggrek (via Semarang to Surabaya) and teh Parahyangan
services (from Jakarta to Bandung). Local trains are also available but are generally non air-conditioned. Buses are a convenient and relatively
cheap way to travel across the fascinating country. Nearly all inter-city buses are fully air-conditioned and very comfortable often only stopping
for food and fuel. Cars and taxis can be hired of course, and provide perfect opportunities to get off the beaten track and explore independently.
An enormous variety of public transport can be found in the towns and cities and as a result a lot of people usually do a lot of traveling! PELNI,
the state-owned shipping company now has 30 modern ships, serving all main ports in this archipelago of over 17,000 islands. Regular ferries
make island hopping easy and also provide some unique opportunities to experience the beauty of these tropical islands. Indonesia has always
been a seafaring nation and proudly boasts of the last remaining commercial sailing fleet the world. More than 3,000 traditional tall-masted
sailing ships, reminiscent of an earlier time, still trade between the islands. The historic port of Sunda Kelapa in Jakarta is home to a large
number of these traditional wooden crafts and is alive with color and activity all year round. Definitely worth a visit!

TRAVEL FORMALITIES : All travelers to Indonesia must be in possession of passport valid for at least six months from date of arrival
and have proof (tickets) of onward or return passage. The Government of Indonesia has issued a new regulation concerning the

and shorts are frowned upon in most places except around sports facilities or on the beach. Proper decorum should especially be
observed when visiting places of worship.
                                                         INDONESIA’S TOURIST ISLANDS
                                       SUMATRA : Sumatra is the second largest island in Indonesia and possibly one of the richest in
                                       terms of natural resources and beauty. The Bukit Barisan or “Marching Mountains” stretch for most
                                       of the island’s length plunging steeply to the sea in the west and rolling onto swampy plains in the
                                       east. Perfect cone-shaped volcanoes peak above thick jungles where rare Sumatran tigers and
                                       rhinos still roam and the giant Rafflesia flower blooms to an incredible one meter in diameter.
                                       Sculpted canyons, mighty rivers, thunderous waterfalls, idyllic lakes and exotic beaches are all a
                                       part of this multi-faceted island straddling the equator and home of one of Indonesia’s largest
                                       nature reserves, the Gunung Leuser National Park. Remants of ancient civilizations scattered
                                       across the main island of Sumatra and its off-shore islands are testimony to a long history of
                                       outside contact which are a major influence on the island’s many different cultures and on the
                                       culture of the entire country. The north is the island around Aceh is the home of Indonesia’s first
                                       Islamic Kingdom and still known for its devout population. Further inland is the homeland of the
                                       largely Christian Batak tribes, centered round Tapanuli and Lake Toba, while Bukittinggi and Padang
in the west are home to the distinctive Minangkabau culture. The western off shore islands of Nias and Mentawai have traditionally
played only a minor part in the politics and history of the region and have thus remained relatively unchanged, while the Riau islands in
the busy straits of Malaca in the east have colorful and illustrious histories stretching back for centuries, Whatever you want, you’’ll find
it in Sumatra.

JAVA : Java is heavily populated island of enourmous diversity ranging from
unspoiled tropical beaches and jungles to active volcanoes and ancient
monuments. Evidence of a rich and influential history can be found all over the
island, particularly in Central Java from the times of Mataram Empire. During this
time a powerful Hindu-Javanese culture flourished between the 8th and 10th
Centuries and it was during this pinnacle of power that Java’s most remarkable
religious monuments were built; Borobudur, the largest and most magnificent
                  Colouredfish from Gili Trawangan
monument to Mahayana Buddhism in the world; the tremendous Hindu temple
complex of Prambanan, dedicated to Shiva and built by the rulers of the Sanajaya
Dynasty and the ancient site of the oldest Hindu temples in Java on the
magnificent, ethereal heights of the Dieng Plateu. The first contact point in
Indonesia for Indian traders was in West Java and it was here that the Dutch
and British first set foot in Indonesia at Banten. Effectively surrounding the nation’s capital of Jakarta on three sides, West Java
provides visitors with a great number of fascinating and wonderful things to see and do; adventure to the remains of the explosive and
awesome power of Krakatau; explore the undisturbed wildlife reserve of Ujung Kulon on the south-western tip of Java; admire the
Pulau Dua Bird Sanctuary off the coast of Banten and visit the isolated communities of the mysterious Baduy in the remote Halimun
Mountain Reserve; discover unspoiled beaches at Pangandaran; treasure the royal palaces of Cirebon and the world renowed
botancial gardens of Bogor. East Java too, has an assortment of attractions, ranging from ancient temple sites to beautiful, unspoiled
beaches, an ethereal sea of sand, awesome volcanoes, picturesque highland lakes, colorful marine gardens and fantastic wildlife
reserves. Magnificent mountain scenery includes the crater and legendary sea of sand at Mount Bromo, the “sulphur mountain” of
Welirang and the rugged Ijen Plateau. The Provincial capital, Surabaya is second in size to Jakarta, population and commerce. It is also
the most industralized province in the nation with a strong, developing economy.

                                       KALIMANTAN : Traveling through the Province of East Kalimantan along the mighty Mahakam River
                                       system, carving its way through the jungles and flatlands constantly reshaping and nourishing the
                                       land, is a fascinating and unforgettable adventure. River boats slip discreetly through heavily silt-
                                       laden waters where plants and animalsfeed and drink along the river shores. Wild orchids drip off
                                       trees, bekantans (Proboscis monkeys), orangutans, crocodiles, clouded leopards, crab-eating
                                       macaques, giant butterflies and the legendary hornbill all live here and some can be found nowhere
                                       else. A 5,000 acer orchid reservation close to the village of Kersil Luwai in the heart of the province
                                       cultivates 27 different species of orchid including the very rare black orchid. As a major producer
                                       of oil and timber, the province of East Kalimantan is at present the most industrially advanced region
                                       of the island and the second largest province in Indonesia. It is also the home of the original
                                       inhabitants of Kalimantan, the Orang Gunung or “mountain people”. The tribes are collectively
                                       called Dayak, although this name is not embraced by many tribes people themselves, who prefer
                                       to be known by their separate tribal names such as Iban, Punan and Banuag. Local tribes traditionally
                                       live in communal longhouses called lamin or umaq daru. They are built on wooden piles, sometimes
                                       as high as 3 meters, as protection against wild animals and flooding. It is in these communal areas
                                       that village meetings are held and ceremonies performed, thereby reinforcing the strong tribal
                                       bonds that have kept the Dayaks together in the face of rapidly advancing 20th century technology.
The most common starging points for many journeys and adventures in land are Balikpapan and the provincial capital of Samarinda, with
regular boat and flight services to Jakarta. In contrast to the meandering Mahakam River, the the Meratus Moutains stride straight
through the centre of South Kalimantan province, effectively dividing it into two distinct regions. The eastern part being mountainous
and lush with dense tropical rain forests, while the south is much flatter, characterized by large, powerful rivers,. Many villages and
settlements have been built along these rivers, particularly the Barito River, by the indigenous majority, the Banjar. The provincial capital
of Banjarmasin lies a short distance from the mouth of the Barito River where it meets the Martapura River. The rivers are literally the
life-blood of the city and everything revolves around them. They support hundreds of boats of all descriptions and are lined with tightly
packed stilt houses. A lot of business is done on the waterways. Flourishing floating markets sell an enormous variety of goods

including a tropical selection of fresh local fruits such as Kesturi, a rare aromatic species of mango, durian, rambutan, butter fruit,
pineapple, watermelon and banana. The area is vibrant with colorful and distinctive traditional arts and cultures which can be seen in
the people’s way of life, art, dance, music, ancestral dress, games and ceremonies. The province’s exquisite traditional and commercial
handicrafts are all made from local raw materials which include percious and semi-precious stones, gold, silver, brass, iron and a wide
variety of woods as South Kalimantan is one of the largest wood producers in Indonesia. West Kalimantan covers an area of over
145,000 sq.km. which is rich in variety of minerals and precious stones and remains largely unexplored. The coastal areas are mainly
swamp lands with more than 100 rivers sculpting the flat plains. In the mountainous eastern parts of the province, away from the city
and plains, there are many Dayak Villages.

                                     BALI, WEST & EAST NUSATENGGARA : By far the most popular tourist destination in Indonesia,
                                     Bali has remained almost unreal in today’s chaotic and changing world. Terraced rice fields dominate
                                     the landscape, and the air is filled with the enchanting sound of running water. The island is divided
                                     by a string of impressive volcanoes running almost through the center of the island which locals
                                     believe ot be the home of gods. Shrouded in mystery and magic, they stretch skyward in majestic
                                     splendor and can be seen from almost every point on the island. The Balinese are amicable people
                                     who have managed to preserve their culture despite overwhelming foreign influences brought to the
                                     region by an ever increasing number of tourists. Bali’s international airport, Ngurah Rai, in the south
                                     of the island, is the nation’s Eastern Gateway and is served by numerous international airlines and
                                     charters. In order to keep up with the growing number of visitors and the need for their comfort, more
                                     hotels have been built, ranging from small bungalows in the highlands to the luxurious Nusa Dua
                                     tourist resort area, near the airport, on the southern tip of the island. Water sports have also gained
                                     in popularity and Bali can boast of superb surfing, windsurfing, sailing, scuba diving and white water
                                     rafting. For many years, the island of Lombok, just to the east of Bali has existed in the shadow of its
                                     more famous neighbor but is now becoming a popular destination in its own right. The mighty volcano
                                     of Rinjani dominates the island and provides maginificent panorams of hundreds of miles. The island
                                     of Sumbawa to the east of Lombok is also dominated by a massive volcano, called Tambora, which
last erupted in 1815 killing an estimated 92,000 people. Undisturbed white virgin beaches are typical in Lombok, where the motto is “you
can see Bali in Lombok, but not Lombok in Bali”. Further east, lie the islands of East Nusa Tenggara, shaped by the power and force of
an enormous chain of mountains and volcanoes which begins in the north of Sumatra and stretches east across Java. The province
consists of over 550 islands, but is dominated by the three main islands of Flores, Sumba, and Timor. Occupying a unique position
across the Wallace Line, it is one of the world’s most dynamic and exotic marine environments with nearly every species of coral and
tropical fish represented. In contrast, the arid landscape of eastern and southeastern
Nusa Tenggara is the result of hot, dry winds blowing in from the Australian continent
and in fact, in many coastal areas not a drop of rain falls during most of the year.
Struck by the islands’ incredible beauty, the Portuguese called it “Flower” island,
which is ideally describes the beauty to be found in Flores. The island is crowded
with volcanoes and mountains including Mount Kelimutu and its three colored crater
lakes. The island of Komodo, home of the world’s only pre-historic “Dragon”, is a
major attraction in this area as is the Sandalwood island of Sumba, now famous
for its horses and an unique style of ikat or cloth weaving. Spirits, both ancestral
and natural are worshipped and although some exist in East Sumba, it is in the
West that there are a number of enormous megalithic tombs and traditional thatched
and peaked huts raised on stilts. Timor, however, is the principal island in the
province in terms of population and it is that the provincial capital of Kupang is located. The island is rich in culture, beautiful scenery,
and magnificent wildlife. Composed of mainly dry, rocky land protecting isolated communities, an assortment of architectural sytles has
evolved. Unlike other parts of East Nusa Tenggara, the roads in Timor are generally good and public transportation is relatively well
developed. Kupang, in fact is being developed as the Gateway to Nusa Tenggara with regular, direct flights to and from Darwin in
Australia as well as with the rest of the archipelago.

                                              SULAWESI : The beautiful orchid shaped island of Sulawesi is rapidly becoming one of the
                                              Indonesia’s faster growing tourist destinations, and for good reason. Magnificient coral
                                              gardens and a multitude of tropical marine life protect coastlines of virgin white beaches;
                                              mountains and volcanoes dominate the landscape with over 50 summits reaching for the
                                              heavens, some of which are still actively reminding the islanders and the world of their
                                              power. The seafaring Bugis dominate the southern tip of Sulawesi. Famed for their seafaring
                                              culture, the Bugis are still the driving force in the world’s last commercial sailing fleets.
                                              Bugis vessels, in fact, sailed as far as Australia, leaving behind drawings of their ships on
                                              stone and words that have since been integrated into Aboriginal languages of nother
                                              Australia. Further north, through rugged and remarkable country is Tana Toraja, often
                                              referred to as the “Land o the Heavenly Kings”. With a belief that their forefathers descended
                                              from heaven onto a mountain generations ago, the Torajas have a distinctive culture based
                                              on strong animistic beliefs. They practice and ancestor cult where death and afterlife
                                              ceremonies are elaborate and important feasts. A strict hierarchy is followed in the villages
                                              and for prominent figures, burial ceremonies for example, can take days to perform. Buffaloes
                                              are ceremonially sacrified and the deceaseds’ remain are placed in the coffin which is then
                                              interred in caves hollowed out in high cliffs. The mouth of the cave is guarded by life-like
                                              statues, who diligently look out from a balcony at the families and friends they have left
                                              behind. The people of North Sulawesi have a strong tradition of trade and contact with the
                                              outside world and it was the Dutch who made the most lasting impact on the development
                                              of the area. Apart from introducing a strong political and religious structure, they encouraged

the local population to cultivate nutmeg and coconuts, for copra. Today the main industries of the province are copra and cloves, in fact,
North Sulawesi has the largest concentration of coconut trees in Indonesia! The Northern Provincial capital of Manado is one of
Indonesia’s international gateways with regular flights to all parts of the Indonesia archipelago. Mando’s main attraction are off-shore,
however, with truly amazing coral reefs of nearby Bunaken island which are now a protected Marine Park and offer some of the best
diving and snorkeling in the world.
                                                       MALUKU & PAPUA : Once known as the Mollucas and the famed Spice Islands,
                                                       which Indian, Arab, Chinese and later European traders dreamed adn died for, the
                                                       province of Maluku is blessed with fabulous sea gardens, idyllic, tropical beaches
                                                       and spectacular landscapes rich with an enormous variety of endemic plant and
                                                       animal species. The forest-coated mountains of the islands are home to brilliantly
                                                       colored king fishers, the red-crested Mollucan cockatoo, and many multi-coloured
                                                       lorikeets and parrots. There are over 1,000 islands in the province most of which
                                                       are uninhabited, 90% of Maluku is water which flows over one of the worl’s most
                                                       active volcanic belt. Maluku is also remarkable in that lies across the most visible
                                                       zone of transition between Asian and Australian fauna and flora, and because of its
Malay based cultures of western Indonesia and Melanesia. These islands felt the full force of 16th and 17th century attempts by major.
European seafaring nations to establish their influence and power, resulting in fierce and bloody rivalry. Remains of these troubled
times can still be found scattered all over the islands, particularly in Ambon and Banda. Forts stand as reminders of a turbulent history.
European domination also left its mark on many other aspects of life in the islands including music, dance and relgion, making the local
culture a fascinatiing blend of east and west. The main gateway into Maluku is through the provincial capital of Ambon, which is served
by regular flights to most parts of the archipelago. Air and sea transportation connect the islands themselves together very well with 79
seaports and 25 airports. Good roads on many of the islands provide easy access to the more remote places of interest. Further to the
east is a torrid land rising from the sea with snow caps covering 5,000 meter-high mountain peaks, towering over
glacier lakes and some of the most impenetrable jungles in the eastern province. It is land of exceptional natural
splendor, with beautiful scenic beaches, immense streches of marshlands, cool grassy meadows and powerful
rivers, cutting gorges and tunnels through dark, dense primeval forests.The people of the island can be divided into
more than 250 sub-groups, which are closely related to the islands along the southern rim of the Pacific and include
among others, the Marind-anim, Yah’ray, Asmat, Mandobo, Dani and Afyat. Those in the central highlands still
preserve their customs and traditions and, because communications have always been difficult here, different
tribes have lived for centuries in isolation of each other for the most part, resulting in a incredibly diverse mixture of
cultures and languages. The flatter coastal regions of Papua, however, were vistied as early as the 7th century by
traders from Sriwijaya. European traders began arriving in the early 16th century, looking for spices and left historical
footprint in the area with names such as Bougainville, Cape d’Urville and the Torres Straits. It was the Dutch who
made the most lasting impact on the island, who in 1828, formally made Irian a Dutch Territory which was not
released until 1962. The provincial capital of Jayapura is built on hills which slope down to the sea and is accessible
by boat and plane. It was here in fact, that General Mac Arthur Assembled his fleet for the invasion of the Philippines
during the Second World War, remains of which can still be found.
