Central Java, Bali, Komodo National Park & Lombok Ultimate Indonesian Yachts 16-DAY / 15-NIGHT ITINERARY – CENTRAL JAVA, BALI, KOMODO NATIONAL PARK & LOMBOK Embark on a 16-day adventure from the lush interior of Central Java to the spiritual hub of Bali and onwards to Komodo National Park before finishing in Lombok. This exciting journey begins in Jogjakarta and ends in Lombok. CENTRAL JAVA The lush interior of Central Java is a wonderful example of the variety of landscapes in Indonesia. This volcano-studded island is home to the bustling capital Jakarta, but a short internal flight to Jogjakarta (the cultural capital, known for silverwork, weaving, music and dance) reveals a rural land of emerald rice paddies, verdant rainforest, not to mention Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world. KOMODO NATIONAL PARK The Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of 3 larger islands (Komodo, Padar and Rinca) and 26 smaller ones, many of which are uninhabited. Komodo and Rinca are home to the native Komodo dragons, respected by locals who believe they descend from one born to a dragon princess centuries ago. The islands turn from lush green to arid throughout summer, contrasting against the vivid blue of the sea. The tropical waters of Komodo National Park have long been famous as one of the most species-rich tropical underwater environments on earth, with an official count of more than 1,000 types of fish and 260 corals. LOMBOK The island of Lombok lies next to Bali and offers a quieter, more rustic experience with a trademark low-key ambiance. Wide golden beaches with tremendous waves attract surfers, while those seeking to relax will find forested highlands and fertile lowlands inhabited largely by farmers growing rice, cotton cacao and vanilla. www.ultimate-indonesian-yachts.com Ultimate Indonesian Yachts ITINERARY DAY 1, 2 & 3: CENTRAL JAVA (JOGJAKARTA) Guests will arrive in Jogjakarta and transfer to Amanjiwo (approx. 1 hour drive). Jogjakarta is the cultural capital of Java and celebrated for its artistic trades, in particular silverwork, music and dance. The exquisite Amanjiwo resort is located in a natural amphitheatre in the Menoreh Hills. These luxurious villas (some with private plunge pools and some with views to Borobudur Temple) are the perfect place to relax for a few days in some of Indonesia’s most beautiful surrounds. Here, guests can spend time hiking, cycling through local villages, volcano trekking or visiting the nearby Borobudur Temple. DAY 4 & 5: BALI To reach Komodo National Park, guests will fly to Bali. Here, there is the option to spend a couple of nights in The Longhouse, one of our exclusive private villas. The Longhouse is fully staffed and beautifully appointed, with 6 ensuite bedrooms including a cavernous master with a private plunge pool. Bali is an island of great contrasts with a heady reputation for spiritual pursuits, natural wonders and wild nightlife. The active volcano Mount Batur rises from the heart of the island, shrouded by dense rainforest that reaches up towards the volcanic black sand beaches of Bali’s undeveloped northern coastline. www.ultimate-indonesian-yachts.com Ultimate Indonesian Yachts DAY 6: KOMODO NATIONAL PARK (LABUAN BAJO – RINCA) Today, guests will take a short flight from Bali to Labuan Bajo, the gateway to Komodo National Park, where they will be met by the yacht’s crew and transferred to the harbour, a 15-minute drive. After the crew has briefed guests, the boat will set out from Labuan Bajo and sail to the outskirts of the National Park. If time allows, guests may enjoy a check dive at Saboyer, an ideal place to relax on the beach or watch the sunset. DAY 7: KOMODO NATIONAL PARK (RINCA ISLAND & KOMODO STRAIGHT) Although lesser known than neighboring Komodo Island, Rinca is an excellent place to observe Komodo dragons, as well as the monkey population and a vast array of birdlife. Here, guests can stroll through the park with a ranger early in the morning and catch sight of the famed dragons, or take in some native culture at a nearby village. This afternoon, guests may explore some famous snorkel sites in the northern Rinca area, relax on a sandy beach, or explore nearby coves. Nestled in the channel between Komodo Island and Flores, the sites of Tarawa Besar and Kecil offer bustling coral reefs and pelagic encounters. DAY 8: KOMODO NATIONAL PARK (SOUTH KOMODO) The striking topography of Horse Shoe Bay is very different to the rest of the park. Jungle- cloaked jagged hills reach into whirls of cloud and there’s rarely another soul around. Here, guests can enjoy tranquility in beautiful surrounds and encounter Komodo dragons near the waters edge. Monkeys and deer live in these hills, as well as a plethora of birdlife. The bay is home to some of the most famous dive sites in Komodo, as well as some of the best night diving sites that support a wealth of macro and critter life. www.ultimate-indonesian-yachts.com Ultimate Indonesian Yachts DAY 9: KOMODO NATIONAL PARK (PULAU PADAR & CENTRAL KOMODO) Between Rinca and Komodo island lays the stunning island of Padar. A large sheltered bay on the southeast side of the island makes for a beautiful anchorage within reach of several beautiful beaches and great snorkelling spots. DAY 10: KOMODO NATIONAL PARK (GILI LAWA LAUT & GILI LAWA DARAT) On the northwestern edge of Komodo lie the Gili Lawa islands. These two islands are home to some of Komodo's most famous underwater sites including Castle and Crystal Rock, Shotgun, The Passage and Lighthouse. The islands also offer stretches of private beaches for relaxing on and a 45-minute trek to the top of Gili Lawa Darat will reward guests with one of the most stunning views of the northern side of the Komodo National Park, making for a wonderful sunset in Komodo. DAY 11: KOMODO NATIONAL PARK (SANGEANG & GILI BANTA) Sangeang volcano offers the chance to experience a unique natural phenomenon: snorkelling the bubbling black sand slopes of a volcano ridge, surrounded by incongruous, brightly coloured coral bommies. There’s a wonderful local village here where guests can head ashore and learn more about the traditional way of life in Komodo. Nearby, Gili Banta is renowned for its beautiful beaches and stunning marine life. Here the day may be spent hiking and exploring the island. In the evening, guests can enjoy a gourmet beach BBQ overlooking the magnificent Komodo sunset. www.ultimate-indonesian-yachts.com Ultimate Indonesian Yachts DAY 12: SUMBAWA (MOYO & SATONDA) The pristine island of Moyo is most famed for its flourishing local reefs. Here, guests can spend the morning snorkelling over exquisitely colorful hard coral or exploring the stunning inland waterfall. The salt-water lake in the caldera of the Satonda volcano is ideal for kayaking or paddle boarding. This afternoon, guests can enjoy a leisurely day along the shores of the lake, and in the evening, you can watch thousands of bats cross the orange sky on their nightly jaunt. DAY 13, 14 & 15: LOMBOK This morning, the yacht’s crew will drop guests at Tugu Hotel in Lombok for 3 nights of relaxing onland. Here, wide golden beaches with tremendous waves attract surfers, while those seeking to relax will find forested highlands and fertile lowlands inhabited largely by farmers growing rice, cotton cacao and vanilla. Tugu Lombok is a beautiful Indonesian-run boutique hotel bursting with culture and authenticity. DAY 16: FLY HOME Today, guests will check out of Tugu Lombok and be transferred to the airport for the onward flight home. Please note that all itineraries are subject to change, depending on weather conditions, progressing harbor clearances, changes to domestic flights and other deciding factors.

Published for the first time more than a decade ago as a booklet in a modest cyclostyled shape by the Cultural Department of the Indonesian Embassy in India, it has been revised several times in Jakarta in the same form to keep up to date with new discoveries and current theories. Since it seemed to have filled a need felt by foreigners as well as Indonesians to obtain an elementary knowledge of Indonesia's past, it has been thought wise to publish it now in a printed form with the aim to reach a larger public than before.

  • A Walk on the Wild Side
    SCAPES Island Trail your chauffeur; when asked to overtake, he regards you with bewildered incomprehension: “Overtake?” Balinese shiftlessness and cerebral inertia exasperate, particularly the anguished Japanese management with their brisk exactitude at newly-launched Hoshinoya. All that invigorates Bali is the ‘Chinese circus’. Certain resort lobbies, Ricky Utomo of the Bvlgari Resort chuckles, “are like a midnight sale” pulsating with Chinese tourists in voluble haberdashery, high-heeled, almost reeling into lotus ponds they hazard selfies on. The Bvlgari, whose imperious walls and august prices discourage the Chinese, say they had to terminate afternoon tea packages (another Balinese phenomenon) — can’t have Chinese tourists assail their precipiced parapets for selfies. The Chinese wed in Bali. Indians honeymoon there. That said, the isle inspires little romance. In the Viceroy’s gazebo, overlooking Ubud’s verdure, a honeymooning Indian girl, exuding from her décolleté, contuses her anatomy à la Bollywood starlet, but her husband keeps romancing his iPhone while a Chinese man bandies a soft toy to entertain his wife who shuts tight her eyes in disdain as Mum watches on in wonderment. When untoward circumstances remove us to remote and neglected West Bali National Park, where alone on the island you spot deer, two varieties, extraordinarily drinking salt water, we stumble upon Bali’s most enthralling hideaway and meet Bali’s savviest man, general manager Gusti at Plataran Menjangan (an eco-luxury resort in a destination unbothered about

Edward H. Huijbens Examiner: dr. ir. Martijn Duineveld Wageningen University and Research Department of Environmental Science Cultural Geography Chair Group Master of Science in Tourism, Society and Environment i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Tourism has been an inseparable aspect of my life, starting with having a passion for travelling until I decided to take a big step to study about it back when I was in vocational high school. I would say, learning tourism was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life considering opportunities and experiences which I encountered on the process. I could recall that four years ago, I was saying to myself that finishing bachelor would be my last academic-related goal in my life. However, today, I know that I was wrong. With the fact that the world and the industry are progressing and I raise my self-awareness that I know nothing, here I am today taking my words back and as I am heading towards the final chapter from one of the most exciting journeys in my life – pursuing a master degree in Wageningen, the Netherlands. Never say never. In completing this thesis, I received countless assistances and helps from people that I would like to mention. Firstly, I would not be at this point in my life without the blessing and prayers from my parents, grandma, and family.

    KERAGAMAN HAYATI DALAM RELIEF CANDI SEBAGAI BENTUK KONSERVASI LINGKUNGAN (Studi Kasus di Candi Penataran Kabupaten Blitar) Dra. Theresia Widiastuti, M.Sn. [email protected] Dr. Supana, M.Hum. [email protected] Drs. Djoko Panuwun, M.Sn. [email protected] Abstrak Tujuan jangka panjang penelitian ini adalah mengangkat eksistensi Candi Penataran, tidak saja sebagai situs religi, namun sebagai sumber pengetahuan kehidupan (alam, lingkungan, sosial, dan budaya). Tujuan khusus penelitian ini adalah melakukan dokumentasi dan inventarisasi berbagai bentuk keragaman hayati, baik flora maupun fauna, yang terdapat dalam relief Candi Penataran. Temuan dalam penelitian ini berupa informasi yang lengkap, cermat, dan sahih mengenai dokumentasi keragaman hayati dalam relief candi Penataran di Kabupaten Blitar Jawa Timur, klasifikasi keragaman hayati, dan ancangan tafsir yang dapat dugunakan bagi penelitian lain mengenai keragaman hayati, dan penelitian sosial, seni, budaya, pada umumnya. Kata Kunci: Candi, penataran, relief, ragam hias, hayati 1. Latar Belakang Masalah Citra budaya timur, khususnya budaya Jawa, telah dikenal di seluruh penjuru dunia sebagai budaya tinggi dan adi luhung. Hal ini sejalan dengan pendapat Sugiyarto (2011:250) yang menyatakan bahwa Jawa merupakan pusat peradaban karena masyarakat Jawa dikenal sebagai masyarakat yang mampu menyelaraskan diri dengan alam. Terbukti dengan banyaknya peninggalan-peninggalan warisan budaya dari leluhur Jawa, misalnya peninggalan benda-benda purbakala berupa candi. Peninggalan-peninggalan purbakala yang tersebar di wilayah Jawa memberikan gambaran yang nyata betapa kayanya warisan budaya Jawa yang harus digali dan dijaga keberadaannya. Candi Penataran, merupakan simbol axis mundy atau sumber pusat spiritual dan replika penataan pemerintahan kerajaan-kerajaan di Jawa Timur. Banyak penelitian yang telah dilakukan terhadap Candi Penataran, tetapi lebih menyoroti pada tafsir-tafsir historis istana sentris.

Adams Loyola University Chicago, USA abstract Although the construction and amplification of touristically-celebrated peoples’ Otherness on global mediascapes has been well documented, the genesis of touristic imagery in out of the way locales, where tourism is embryonic at best, has yet to be examined. This article explores the emergent construction of touristic imagery on the small, sporadically visited Eastern Indonesian island of Alor during the 1990s. In examining the ways in which competing images of Alorese people are sculpted by both insiders and outsiders, this article illustrates the politics and power dynamics embedded in the genesis of touristic imagery. Ultimately, I argue that even in remote locales where tourism is barely incipient, ideas and fantasies about tourism can color local politics, flavor discussions of identity and channel local actions. keywords Alor anthropologists and tourism Indonesia politics of tourism touristic imagery Numerous studies have chronicled the ways in which tourism projects have cre- ated exoticized, appealing, or sexualized images of ethnic Others (cf.Aitchison, 2001; Albers and James, 1983; Cohen, 1993, 1995, 1999; Dann, 1996; Deutschlander, 2003; Enloe, 1989; Selwyn, 1993, 1996).
