  • Days 1-4

    Sumatra & Bukit Lawang

    Start in Medan and make your way to Bukit Lawang for exploring Gunung Leuser National Park. The 3-hour drive can be rough, so consider motion sickness pills. Pack light clothes that dry quickly in the humid jungle climate. Your best bet for spotting orangutans is heading out around 7 AM. Want a fun way back to town? Try river tubing but keep your valuables safe in waterproof bags.

    
  • Days 5-8

    Mentawai Islands & Padang

    Book an early morning flight to Padang since routes are limited. The boat ride to Mentawai can get choppy so sit in the middle for a smoother trip. You'll stay in traditional Uma houses with local families who'll show you their culture and foraging practices. Pack modest clothes and bring a headlamp since power can be unreliable.

    
  • Days 9-14

    Bali's Cultural Heart

    Fly to Bali and start in Canggu. Stay near Batu Bolong for quick beach access. Beat the crowds at Tanah Lot by arriving before 10 AM. For beginner surfers in Kuta, morning low tide offers gentler waves. The Tegalalang rice terraces look their best before 9 AM. Keep a close eye on your belongings at the Monkey Forest - the residents are skilled thieves.

    
  • Days 15-17

    Gili Islands

    A recent visitor shared: "The boat transfer can be rough - take the fast boat early morning when seas are calmest. Worth it for the crystal clear snorkeling spots and laid-back vibe." The island is car-free so bikes are your best transport option. Pick accommodation on the west side for stunning sunsets.

    
  • Days 18-20

    Lombok

    The public ferry from Gili T takes about 2 hours. South Lombok offers quieter beaches than Bali and good intermediate surfing spots. Pack sturdy shoes for waterfall hikes as trails get slippery. Morning visits to Sasak villages let you watch traditional weaving in progress.

    
  • Days 21-26

    Sumbawa & Komodo

    The eastern islands offer more adventure but fewer amenities. Sumbawa's Moyo waterfall is worth the trek. If you're doing a Komodo liveaboard bring ginger tablets for seasickness. You'll need official park guides to see the dragons. Bring enough cash as ATMs are limited here.

    Sumatra Exploration

    Begin in Medan before traveling to Bukit Lawang (3-hour drive on rough roads near the end). Plan two full days of trekking in Gunung Leuser National Park with basic camping conditions.

  • Days 17-19

    Volcanic Landscapes

    Book a stay at Seloliman Nature Reserve. For Mt Bromo sunrise, start at 3 AM and prepare for cool temperatures around 10°C/50°F. Bring a scarf to protect from volcanic dust.

    
  • Days 20-23

    Bali's Beaches & Culture

    The ferry from Java might run late due to traffic at Gilimanuk port. Book early morning snorkeling trips to Menjangan Island from Pemuteran. Finish your trip in Ubud and take extra time to explore the rice terraces and art galleries.
