Java Indonesia
Java is the most populous island in
Indonesia providing many contrasts of scenery, people, religions and
cultures. The island boasts immense beauty, from peaceful villages and a
beautiful, fertile countryside to smoking volcanoes and ancient monuments.
However there is also an unattractive side visible in its dirty,
overcrowded cities, particularly the capital of Jakarta, clogged with
traffic and pollution, with evident differences in wealth and wretched
poverty between the people. Java is a mosaic of sights and impressions. It
is also Indonesia's political stage and the cultural, educational and
historical centre of the archipelago.
The island is dominated by an active volcanic mountain range stretching
along its length. To the north is the unappealing city of Jakarta, a
mixture of the modern and luxurious, with a glamorous city centre and some
fine Dutch architecture; along with the filth, crime and squalor of a big
city. South of the mountainous spine in central Java, lies the most
popular city in Indonesia, Yogyakarta, the centre for Javanese art and
culture, and nearby the astounding Hindu complex and Buddhist monument of
Prambanan and Borobudur. Mt Bromo to the east is an active volcano amid
stunning scenery.
Java offers the visitor a vivid and rewarding experience of an intensely
striking land and culture, a tapestry of religions and historical
influences, and splendid landscapes that make it the enchanting 'Garden of
the East'.
Climate
Java experiences a humid and tropical climate with two distinct seasons,
the rainy season which runs from October to April, and the dry season
which runs from May to September and is the best time of year to visit.
The average daytime temperate in Java is between 66F and 86F (19C and
30C).Between monsoon season months, late October to early May, there are
usually daily spurts of heavy rainfall often causing flooding in the city.

spectacular volcanic landscape and one of the most impressive natural
sights in Indonesia. The ancient Tengger crater in its midst stretches for
six miles (10km) and within its sheer volcanic walls are three peaks,
namely Batok, Kursi and the smoking Mt Bromo. Thousands of tourists make
the journey up Mt Bromo for the unforgettable spectacle at sunrise (during
the dry season) when the surrounding landscape takes on an otherworldly
quality. The views from the top and into the smoking crater are
unbelievable. To reach the foot of the volcano one must cross the vast Sea
of Sand out of which Mt Bromo rises, either on horseback or by foot, and
then climb a flight of stairs that leads to the crater rim where the
unmistakeable smell of sulphur permeates the air. The small village of
Cemora Lawang, perched at the edge of the crater, is the most popular
place to stay and has the best views of the area.
