📣 Traveler notes

Indonesia is a vast archipelago spanning the Indian and Pacific Oceans, featuring 17,000 diverse islands, including the well-known Bali and 6,000 inhabited islands.

  • Public holidays are observed throughout Indonesia, though celebrations are localized.
  • Major cultural events include Chinese New Year (mid-January to mid-February) and Nyepi (Hindu New Year, generally in March).
  • Travel to Bali on Nyepi (Hindu New Year) is strongly discouraged due to island-wide closures.
  • Good Friday often falls in March or April.
  • Use the right hand for eating and receiving items. While hand-eating is common, cutlery is widely accepted, particularly in upscale venues. Quick eating is polite; burping may be interpreted as a compliment.
