Guidelines for Cultural Awareness

  • Remove shoes before entering homes, temples, or mosques, and avoid pointing the soles of your feet toward people or religious objects as this is considered disrespectful.
  • Use your right hand for eating, passing objects, or shaking hands, as the left hand is traditionally considered unclean in Indonesian culture.
  • Dress modestly when visiting religious sites or rural communities—cover shoulders and knees, and women should carry a sarong or scarf to cover their heads when entering mosques.
  • Ask permission before photographing people, especially in rural villages, and be aware that some ceremonies or rituals may prohibit photography entirely.
  • Learn basic Indonesian greetings like 'Selamat pagi' (good morning) and 'Terima kasih' (thank you)—locals greatly appreciate visitors who make an effort to connect in their language.

Suggestions for Evening Activities

  • Experience a traditional Kecak fire dance performance at Uluwatu Temple in Bali, where dancers reenact ancient Hindu epics against a dramatic clifftop sunset backdrop.
  • Join the vibrant nightlife at Jalan Legian in Kuta or Seminyak's beach clubs, where international DJs spin tracks as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean.
  • Attend a wayang kulit (shadow puppet) performance in Yogyakarta, where master puppeteers bring ancient stories to life accompanied by traditional gamelan orchestras.
  • Explore the culinary night markets (pasar malam) found in most cities, offering local street food specialties, handicrafts, and a glimpse into everyday Indonesian life.
  • Take an evening river cruise in Borneo to spot nocturnal wildlife like fireflies, crocodiles, and rare nocturnal primates along jungle-fringed waterways.
