Mount Bromo

4. Lake TobaFormed by a stupendous prehistoric volcanic explosion, it is the largest volcanic lake in the world with towering mountains surrounding the caldera. Be sure to visit Samosir Island where you can learn about the ancient culture of the Batak people. Medan is the gateway to this natural wonder.

5. Shopping in Bandung Get ready for a shopping frenzy in Bandung where factory outlets and distros (fashion by local indie designers) line up the streets of Jalan Dago, Jalan Riau, and Jalan Cihampelas. Looking for bargains on traditional textiles and clothes? Head to Pasar Baru!

6. Mount BromoThe combination of white sulphurous smoke and massive caldera makes Mount Bromo a sight to behold. Catch the stunning sunrise, visit Poten Temple, cross the caldera on a 4WD or on horseback, or if you’re mad enough, run a 170-km ultramarathon here. Make your way to Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park from Surabaya.

7. Gili IslandsPlan a perfect beach holiday at one of the three islands just offshore of Lombok mainland. The largest of the three, Gili Trawangan is where the party is at, while Gili Meno is a paradise for couples. For a dose of local culture, visit Gili Air.8. Diving in Pulau WehExplore the great depths of the cerulean sea as you dive and snorkel with dolphins, turtles, and even Manta Rays off the coast of Banda Aceh.9. Tana TorajaThis living museum a day’s journey from Makassar displays the Toraja tribe’s everyday life, traditions and fascinating burial practices. The Toraja tribe is known for their unique burial system where the body is kept for years until enough money is raised for a ‘celebratory funeral party’.

10. BaksoCheap, delicious, and available at every corner of the country, Bakso is a noodle soup of Indonesian meatballs cooked in beef broth, topped with crispy wonton, fried shallots and celery.

Planning your ASEAN trip can be overwhelming at first because there are so many ways to do it. If you don’t have an itinerary in mind yet, here are some basic tips for putting one together.

1. Do your homework. List the destinations where you want to go and divide them into two columns: the first for places you really must visit, the second for places that are good to see, but not essential. 2. Plot your route on a map. Mark your first-column cities and check if there are flights between them. If there are none, consider going through your second-column cities or major cities close to them. 3. Take time off. As there is a time limit to use the Asean Pass, choose your dates wisely. Note that there are blackout dates when the Asean Pass may not be used.4. Balance time and spending. Check not only the travel times but also the credits required for each connection. 5. Don’t rush. It’s not about how many cities you visit but the quality of your experience in each destination.
