October Holidays

What to expect on your Indonesia October holidays

An Indonesia October holiday will excite your senses, with its lush green rice fields, ancient jungles and beautiful white-sand beaches.

Yogyakarta is the cultural centre of Indonesia, famous for its traditional art and culture - including batik, shadow puppets and wayang kulit. It’s also a great place for shopping, with lots of local handicrafts on offer. Visit the Hindu and Buddhist shrines in this city, and take a stroll through one of the many colourful markets.

October holidays in Indonesia are a chance to leave the bustling streets behind and head to the Bali Barat Nature Park, a protected area of Bali, home to many animals and plants. With a high biodiversity of over 160 species of mammals and birds, this is the perfect place for nature lovers - and there's a whole ocean of creatures waiting to be discovered by divers and snorkellers. A multicoloured world lies beneath the waves where soft corals, garden eels and sea anemones sway about in the ocean currents.

Get your heart racing with an Indonesia October holiday that sees you make your way up the 7,600ft summit of the imposing Mount Bromo, where (if you get up early enough) you'll be rewarded with a spectacular sunrise. The trek can take up to three days, but a rewarding hot spring will be awaiting your tired limbs at the end.

For those looking for a taste of Balinese culture with their Indonesia October holiday, head to Ubud, a place famous for its art and handicrafts. From the many temples to the stunning rice fields and forests, Ubud provides a sense of tranquillity that you will find nowhere else. Wander down narrow country roads, meet the mischievous inhabitants of the Monkey Forest or white-water raft down the Tegala Waja River.

Sail across the blue waters to explore Lombok and the nearby Gili Islands, where you can unwind and enjoy some well-needed R&R. Immerse yourself in paradise, stretch out on pearly white beaches, take a dip in the clear sea or taste local dishes and enjoy a beautiful sunset.
