INDONESIA & PAPUA NEW GUINEA

The Spice Islands, Raja Ampat, Komodo. Sumatra, West Papua, Kerimun Jawa. Remote and exotic, the islands we discover thrive in their wildness with tribes living nearly untouched by the outside world, dazzling undersea life, and hundreds of volcanoes including the remnants of the beautiful and powerful Krakatoa. Put your toes in the rose-coloured sand of Pink Beach, come face to face with a Komodo dragon or glimpse a bird of paradise, and inhale the heady perfume of nutmeg and mace. Step back in time to see primitive rock art and be among the very few to encounter the Asmat people. Explore uninhabited islands, snorkelling among pygmy sea horses, giant clams, manta rays, dugongs, and hundreds of species of kaleidoscopic fish. The grandeur and sheer size of Borobudur Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in the world, is sure to leave an impression as will graceful terraced rice fields and stilt villages connected across mangrove forests by wooden boardwalks. Add the more cosmopolitan delights of Singapore and important World War II sites and the pull of this far-flung region becomes impossible to ignore.
