Indonesia
There are more than 17,000 islands in the Republic of Indonesia, including Sumatra, Java and parts of both Borneo and New Guinea. Both Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms have flourished here over a period of 1500 years and the region has been important on the trade route between India and China for all of that time. Across such a widespread geography, there are numerous distinct ethnic groups and the national motto is 'bhinneka tunggal ika' (many, yet one). Located on the 'Pacific Ring of Fire' this part of the world is blessed with a super-abundance of volcanoes, both active and dormant. From Java, through to Lombok and Bali, these peaks are particularly impressive and provide brilliant trekking objectives for adventurous travellers. Rinjani (3726m / 12,225ft) is the biggest and its ascent involves a 3-day trek by way of rich sub-tropical forest and a stunning crater lake. Taking local ferries between islands and spending time on white-sand beaches is all part of the Indonesian travel experience.
