✦ Plan My Indonesia TripIndonesia is the world's largest archipelago — over 17,000 islands, 300 ethnic groups and a biodiversity that staggers the imagination. Bali is the obvious entry point: a Hindu island of extraordinary temples, rice terrace walks, surf beaches and a wellness culture that has attracted the world. Beyond Bali: the Gili Islands' white sand and turquoise water, Lombok's quieter beaches, Komodo's prehistoric dragons and the ancient temples of Java's Borobudur.
