Indonesia is a country rich in cultural diversity, home to around 300 ethnic groups and 700 languages. It is one of the largest countries in the world, counting around 17,500 magnificent islands, some of which are still unexplored. Our guide explores the top 10 places to see while you are traveling across the country.

Dieng Plateau, Central Java

Formed after the eruption of the Prau mountain, the Dieng Plateau is a caldera complex situated at 2,000 meters above sea level. Its location makes it one of the coolest destinations in Indonesia, and the change is easily noticeable coming from the surrounding lowlands. The major sights to visit there include a multicolored lake, a hot spring and ancient Hindu temples. Different in character from the rest of Java, trekking through the lush rolling hills, passing by beautiful plantations, and breathing in the fresh air while looking at the mountains in the horizon, is one of the most fascinating journeys to be taken in the area.

Lake Maninjau, West Sumatra

A little off the beaten path, in a region where many unspoiled natural wonders can still be found, lies the beautiful Lake Maninjau. The lake is located in a volcanic crater, 461 meters above the sea. To reach the end destination, the journey involves negotiating 44 hairpin turns on the steep road down from Bukittinggi. With all the twists and bends, the ride can be eventful, but with the breathtaking views over the blue lake and the surrounding hills, it is worth the effort. The lake Maninjau is one of the most serene and quiet places in the country, far away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. The area is one of the best spots to relax, restore inner peace and experience a slow paced life.

Thousand Islands, DKI Jakarta

Just a 90 minute speedboat ride from the marina in Ancol lays the beautiful Pulau Macan, namely the Tiger Island. For breathtaking views, crystal clear water, white sand, great snorkeling spots in a well preserved environment, mouthwatering and fresh food, and a chilled atmosphere, this is the place to be. There is one resort on the island: the Tiger Islands Village & Eco Resort. The staff there ensures a comfortable stay and the resort engages in conservation activities by planting corals and mangroves, aiming to be a model for other eco-resorts nationwide.

Yogyakarta and Surroundings, Central Java

Yogyakarta is the arts and culture and culinary hub of the island of Java. Days can be spent exploring its streets in search of the best batik, puppet makers, gamelan concerts, food vendors, street art and much more. But it does not end here. The city is also the main hub for the more historical side of Java, constituting the perfect base to explore the nearby temples of Borobudur and Prambanan. Dating back to the ninth century, the former is one of the oldest Buddhist temples, with more than 2,000 relief panels and 500 Buddha statues. Dating back to the same time, the latter is a Hindu temple where you can enjoy beautiful evening dance performances staging the Ramayana, one of the greatest Hindu epics of all times.

Komodo Island, East Nusa Tenggara

Close to Timor Leste, the Komodo Island is home to one of the most fascinating creatures on earth: the Komodo dragon. The dragon is native to Indonesia, and these islands are the only place where they can be found living in the wild. It is the largest lizard in the world, sometimes growing as tall as three meters long and weighing up to 70 kilograms, with sharp claws and poisonous saliva. Their natural habitat is the tropical forest where they live in groups. The Komodo National Park is a protected site in Indonesia, and it has become illegal to hunt or harm these deadly dragons. With the permission of the local government, local and foreign tourists alike visit the islands every year.

Bandung, West Java

Bandung, commonly referred to as the Paris of Java, is a green and cool city situated in West Java. Scenery lovers will be delighted with the breathtaking views, especially around the tea plantations, volcanoes, and Kawah Putih – the turquoise sulfur lake. And food lovers will fall in love with all the culinary delicacies. Bandung is famous for its cuisine, and many locals from all around the country go there just for the food. The city is also a commercial one, where cheap fabrics are on sale at the markets, and big-name clothing brands are sold at outlet stores. Last but not least, it is a great place to enjoy the traditional music of Sunda played with the local instrument, angklung.

Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara

Similar in density and size to neighboring Bali, and sharing some cultural heritage, Lombok has developed as one of the main tourist destinations in Indonesia. It is around Senggigi that most facilities have developed, and it also from there that the very popular Gili Islands – Gili Trawangan, Meno and Air – are most commonly accessed. The Gili Islands have enough diversity to provide for all tastes: from luxury resorts, to laidback backpackers’ retreats, the islands have it all. Other tourist spots south of Lombok include Kuta Beach, famous for its quasi-deserted white sand beaches, and as one of the best surfing spots worldwide, and Mount Rinjani, an active volcano.

Manado, North Sulawesi

Formerly used as a Dutch stronghold and cultural center of the Minahasa ethnic group, Manado was for a long time a prosperous city trading with neighboring Philippines, and the rest of the world when it came to spices. However, most of the older buildings did not make it through WWII. The city is still worth a visit though as it is home to the biggest and most important churches in the region. Contrary to the rest of Indonesia, which is predominantly Muslim, Christianity here is the main religion. Other interesting sights include the impressive Lake Tondano and Lake Linow, the nearby volcanoes, and the Christ statue in a flying posture in the Citraland Park.

Pontianak, West Kalimantan

The second longest in the world and the longest in Indonesia, the Kapuas River in the jungles of Borneo brings you all the way into the hinterlands, home to the indigenous Dayak people. Deep in the rainforest, traditional ways of life have survived throughout the years. In an incredible natural setting, rich in diversity, boat rides starting from Pontinanak are the ideal way to explore the region. You can also experience the Dayak way of life by staying in traditional longhouses. In the villages, elders still use traditional medicine, perform rituals, mark bodies with intricate tattoos, and wear heavy earrings. Borneo is also the best place to spot black orchids, orangutans, and fresh water dolphins.

Raja Ampat, Papua

Situated in Papua, the archipelago of Raja Ampat, comprising more than 1,500 small islands, is a diver’s dream destination. The underwater scenery is incredibly beautiful, and includes one of the richest coral reef ecosystems on earth. It also includes around 1,300 different species of fish, 530 species of coral, and around 700 species of mollusk. The islands remain remote, and are hard to access, which makes them relatively undisturbed by human activity and expensive to get to. But for divers, this place is highly recommended.

Israel Ledakkan Terowongan di Gaza, 8 Warga Palestina Tewas

Israel Ledakkan Terowongan di Gaza, 8 Warga Palestina Tewas



Liputan6.com, Gaza - Delapan orang tewas ketika militer Israel menyerang sebuah terowongan yang mengarah ke Israel dari Gaza. Hal tersebut diungkapkan oleh Kementerian Kesehatan Palestina.
Seperti dikutip dari CNN pada Selasa (31/10/2017), militer Israel sebelumnya mengatakan bahwa pihaknya telah menetralisir "terowongan teror" yang mengarah ke Israel selatan dari Khan Younis di selatan Gaza.
Juru bicara Angkatan Darat Israel Letnan Kolonel Jonathan Conricus menggambarkan bahwa terowongan tersebut diledakkan dari sisi Israel.
Ketika ditanyakan soal laporan bahwa anggota senior kelompok Islamic Jihad tewas dalam operasi tersebut, seorang juru bicara Kementerian Pertahanan Israel mengatakan bahwa tidak pernah ada niat dengan cara apa pun atau pada tahap apa pun untuk menargetkan tokoh senior.
Kementerian Kesehatan Palestina mengatakan bahwa jumlah korban tewas dapat meningkat secara signifikan mengingat sejumlah besar orang masih dilaporkan hilang.
Serangan ini terjadi pada Senin 30 Oktober 2017, waktu setempat atau dua hari sebelum kontrol internal penyeberangan perbatasan Gaza diserahkan dari Hamas ke Otoritas Palestina. Langkah ini merupakan bagian dari kesepakatan rekonsiliasi antara Hamas dan Fatah.

Hamas, meski tidak mengklaim terowongan itu sebagai salah satu dari akses mereka dalam pernyataannya menyebutkan bahwa tindakan Israel bertujuan untuk meruntuhkan kesepakatan rekonsiliasi. Kelompok itu menyebut kebijakan Israel merupakan eskalasi berbahaya yang mengancam pecahnya perang baru melawan rakyat Gaza.
Seorang pemimpin kelompok Islamic Jihad, Mohammad Al Hindi dalam pernyataannya mengatakan, "Gencatan senjata dengan musuh telah berakhir dan respons akan datang sebagaimana kejahatan yang terjadi."
Sementara itu, dalam sebuah pernyataan yang dilansir kantor berita Wafa, Fatah mengutuk apa yang disebutnya sebagai "kejahatan Israel". Mereka menegaskan bahwa "darah (orang-orang yang terbunuh) tidak akan sia-sia."
Dan Fatah memastikan akan terus bergerak maju dengan kesepakatan rekonsiliasinya bersama Hamas.

Korea Utara Pamer Kekuatan Militer di Tengah Situasi "Panas"!!

Pemerintah Korea Utara menggelar parade militer menyambut "Hari Matahari" pada Sabtu (15/4/2017) waktu setempat di tengah situasi yang kian memanas di Semenanjung Korea.
  - Menyambut "Hari Matahari", pemerintah Korea Utara menggelar parade militer pada Sabtu (15/4/2017) waktu setempat di tengah situasi yang kian memanas di Semenanjung Korea.

Suasana ibu kota Korea Utara, Pyongyang, tidak menunjukkan tanda ketegangan meski ada kekhawatiran negara itu melakukan uji nuklir dan Amerika Serikat akan membalas bila ada serangan yang mulai dilancarkan, seperti diberitakan Antara.

Pemimpin Korea Utara Kim Jong-un, cucu Kim Il Sung, akan hadir, namun pemerintah belum mengonfirmasi detailnya ke para jurnalis asing yang berkunjung.

Warga Korea Utara menaruh keranjang-keranjang bunga dan buket di bawah potret pendiri negara Kim Il Sung menyambut “Hari Matahari” pada Jumat (14/4/2017).

Ulang tahun ke-105 pendiri negara itu pada Sabtu (15/4/2017), yang dirayakan sebagai "Hari Matahari" di Korea Utara, adalah hari libur paling penting. Rezim Korea Utara sering memanfaatkannya untuk menampilkan kecakapan militer.

Hujan ringan turun di Pyongyang, saat orang-orang yang mengenakan sepatu bot karet tinggi dan memegangi payung berjalan melewati potret mendiang pemimpin mereka dan tanda yang memproklamirkan bahwa "Hari Matahari adalah peristiwa paling penting di Korea Utara."

Para jurnalis asing yang berkunjung tidak melihat sesuatu yang luar biasa di Pyongyang kecuali pembicaraan mengenai perang.

Akan tetapi, ketika jurnalis asing mengunjungi Korea Utara, gerakan mereka biasanya dipantau dari dekat dan mereka biasanya dibatasi ke Pyongyang. Percakapan dengan orang-orang juga dipantau oleh aparat pemerintah yang juga menjadi penerjemah ke Bahasa Inggris.

Di dekat tempat kelahiran Kim Il Sung, tempat ziarah bagi warga Korea Utara, komuter bergerak cepat di jalur kereta bawah tanah, perempuan muda membawa payung yang lewat mengatupkan tangan, sementara dua anak berseragam sekolah biru berjalan dengan menyeret kaki membawa satu keranjang bunga yang besarnya hampir seukuran mereka.

"Kalau musuh ingin berperang dengan para pemimpin kami, kami tidak takut karena kami akan menang," kata Jon Myon Sop, warga yang bekerja di stasiun bus.

"Saya tahu tentang ketegangan yang sedang meningkat di Semenanjung Korea dan bagaimana AS dan negara-negara bonekanya telah membawa aset-aset militer mereka ke kawasan."

Cho Hyon Ran, pemandu wisata di tempat ziarah itu, mengatakan: "Kami tidak ingin perang tapi kami tidak takut perang karena kami punya kekuatan besar, negara kami yang terkuat di dunia sekarang."

"Kalian bisa lihat semua orang tertawa, semua orang menyanyi, semua orang merayakan Hari Matahari," kata perempuan itu menggunakan Bahasa Inggris. "Kami tidak takut apa pun."

Warga Seoul Justru Rayakan “Black Day”


Pemimpin Pyongyang rutin mengancam Amerika Serikat dan Korea Selatan dengan pembinasaan. Secara teknis, Korea Utara masih berperang dengan Korea Selatan dan sekutunya, Amerika Serikat, karena Perang Korea 1950-1953 berakhir dengan gencatan senjata, bukan kesepakatan damai.

Kelompok kapal induk Amerika Serikat pekan ini menuju perairan Korea di tengah kekhawatiran bahwa Pyongyang bisa melakukan uji nuklir atau rudal jarak jauh dan Presiden Amerika Serikat Donald Trump mengancam akan melakukan aksi sepihak "untuk mengatasi masalah."

Di Korea Selatan, juga tidak ada tanda adanya ketegangan dan hanya ada sedikit pembicaraan mengenai perang.

Warga di ibu kota, Seoul, sedang merayakan "Black Day" (Hari Hitam) pada Jumat (14/4/2017), hari bagi para lajang yang ditandai dengan makan "jajangmyeon", mie dengan saus kental hitam dari kacang hitam.

Hari itu dirayakan sebagai tanggapan terhadap "White Day" (Hari Putih), Hari Valentine versi Asia yang jatuh pada 14 Maret.

"Di luar Korea Selatan, beberapa orang khawatir, tapi kami tidak merasa seperti itu dalam keseharian kami," kata Choi Na-young, seorang pegawai kantor di pusat Seoul.

"Yang bisa saya lakukan hanya berusaha yang terbaik dan bekerja keras," kata Choi, saat dia mengantre untuk membeli mie bersama rekannya.

"Jadi tak peduli apa pun yang dipikirkan oleh dunia luar, saya datang ke sini untuk menikmati Black Day," katanya seperti diberitakan Antara dilansir dari Reuters.
