Om Swastiastu...
Spanning over 17,000 islands, Indonesia is so rich with different cultures, traditions,
food and so much more. Each area has its own unique age-old rituals and recipes that
make this nation great. As a media provider devoted to travel, tourism and lifestyle
in Indonesia, we present you a special theme for this edition where we feature more
stories from several parts of the country.
Although the majority of Hindu people in Indonesia live in Bali, there are still some
Hindu communities throughout the country. One of them is the Tengger Tribe who live
on the foot of Mount Bromo since the day their ancestors moved there after escaping
from chaos during the fall of Majapahit Kingdom some centuries ago. The people are
COVER still loyal with their rituals, the Yadnya Kasada, where they pay tribute to their God and
Photo Courtesy of ancestors. Find out more about them in CRAFT & CULTURE.
Royal Ambarrukmo Yogyakarta
In this edition, we also take you to the grandest hotel in Yogyakarta where heritage
sites meet modern life, the Royal Ambarrukmo Yogyakarta. We reveal our story to
you in REST & RELAXATION. We also invite you to experience an ancient beauty
ritual from South Borneo at Martha Tilaar Day and Spa, Jimbaran, which we share in
INVITE & INDULGE.
To taste authentic recipes, you can go to Kayumanis Resto Jimbaran that elevates
traditional food from across the archipelago to ve-star dishes. Flip through our DINE
& DELIGHTS to discover their story. And from outside Bali, our contributor Fadil Azis
shares his amazing photos of Jakarta that he took when the city was asleep in
CAPITAL CORNER, while Edna Tarigan reveals a meromictic lake in East Borneo in
BEYOND BALI.
All these stories are especially crafted for you, hoping that the next time you visit
Indonesia, you can go explore other wonderful travel destinations in the archipelago
after your trip to Bali. Happy traveling!
