Ethnically a highly diverse country, Indonesia is home to the world's largest Muslim population. Spread across a chain of about 17,000 islands between Indochina and Australia, the country was colonized by the Dutch in the early 17th century. It fell to the aggression of Japan and occupied the aggressor from 1942 to 1945. Though the country declared its independence after Japan's surrender, it took four years more that finally the Dutch agreed to leave the country.

In recent years, Indonesia has seen some troubled times. It had to face the Asian financial crisis. President Suharto who came to power in 1965, was forced to resign. The cession of East Timor, separatist guerilla movement from restive provinces, bitter ethnic and religious conflict and a devastating tsunami are the current issues the country is facing.

Travel overview
The world's largest archipelago, Indonesia offers something for everyone. The reasons for the country’s popularity among travelers are no far to seek. Its stunning volcanic peaks, ideal beaches, its diverse culture all these go along way in making Indonesia a great place to visit. It is no surprise that places like Bali stand at the top of any tourist’s list in spite of recent instances of terrorism.

The ancient Buddhist stupas at Borubudur and Prambana are important attractions of Indonesia. Sumatra has an unspoilt wilderness and an amazing wildlife. Java is known for steaming volcanoes and spectacular historical monuments. Bali is a stuff of painting and poetry, an island of breathtaking scenery, palm groves and beach resorts. Further east, Komodo is the home to the world's largest lizard, the Komodo dragon.

Pay a visit to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary where you will find three temples. Don’t miss the coloured lakes of Kelimutu.
