With more than 130 million people inhabiting an area as big as Greece, Java is one of the most populated places on this planet. No wonder that Java has become Indonesia's political and economic epicenter throughout the history. Administratively, Java is composed of three propinsi (or provinsi; provinces)—West Java (Jawa Barat), Central Java (Jawa Tengah), and East Java (Jawa Timur)—as well as Jakarta Raya (Greater Jakarta) daerah khusus lbukota (special capital district) and Yogyakarta daerah istimewa (special district), both of which are administratively considered provinces. Bali Bali, one of the smaller islands in Indonesia, has been described by many different names - The Hidden Paradise, The Last Paradise on Earth, Morning of The World, Island of Gods, The Island of a Thousand Temples, the Emerald Isle of Asia and Island of the Smiling People. For centuries, Bali has attracted visitors from all over the world, drawn to its Colorful festivals and ceremonies, traditional music and dances, its arts and crafts, delicious cuisine, dramatic underwater world, and friendly people. Whether you want to unwind and chill out on one of Bali's many white sandy beaches, surf the hardcore waves, enjoy some retail therapy in one of the malls or try out your bargaining skills at one of the many traditional markets, there is something for everyone on this tropical island paradise. Why not be adventurous and try some white-water rafting or deep-sea diving? Or simply relax and clear your mind practicing Yoga or Tai Chi. Bali offers you the best of both worlds. Places in the trip Yogyakarta Yogyakarta, or Jogjakarya, or Yogya in short, is one of Indonesia’s main tourist destinations. The city is the capital of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, on the south of Java. The city is a renowned centre of education, classical art and culture such as music, poetry and puppet shows. The bustling town has a population of about half a million people and offers a wide range of tourist facilities. Our Happy Trails Office in Yogjakarta is also here to give assistance that might be needed. One is always welcome to come in for a cup of coffee and a nice chat with one of our staff. Why Yogyakarta? Yogyakarta being a laid back city, allows for a great exploration of the Indonesian/Javanese culture.

There is nice bungalow accommodation available, in strategic locations. Solo Solo is a major city in Central Java. Together with Yogjakarta the two cities are the heirs of the Mataram Kingdom that split in 1755. The city of Solo lies some 100 kilometres south of Semarang and some 60 kilometres east of Yogjakarta. As Solo is less touristy than Yogjakarta, the city has kept much of its Javanese character. The inhabitants of the city are known to be charming and soft- spoken. The Museum Batik Danar Hadi is known as the largest Batik collection, with over 10.000 pieces of batik. Why Solo? Solo is not often visited by tourists, nevertheless a worthy stop on the way to the Bromo Vulcano. By stopping in Solo, clients can visit a lesser known sultan’s palace with barely any tourists. Further the drive from Solo to Bromo can be done mainly via toll roads, avoiding trains. Bromo Mount Bromo is world-famous for its unique volcano sunrise. Visitors can look down the crater which is full of smoke, feel the cold air brushing their cheeks while enjoying the breath-taking sunrise from atop the volcano. There are many activities to do in the area, including camping, horse riding to the sea of sand or general trekking. The area has long been settled by the Tenggerese people. What makes the Tenggerese so unique is that they have kept their strong customs and culture without being influenced by the outside. Why Bromo? Bromo National Park, being a natural wonder allows for lots of possibilities to explore the caldera whilst avoiding crowds. We offer alternative viewpoints, and trekking which are crowd-less and give a unique view of the volcano. Ketapang/Ijen Ketapang is a ferry port located in Kalipuro, Banyuwangi, East Java.

The area is well-known for its number of major Hindu temples. As Pemuteran is located between a rocky mountain and the sea, the Hindus believe it possesses a lethal spiritual power called Nyegara Gunung. People come here to get away from the busy city to relax and take strolls over the white sandy beaches.
