Bali & East Java in 12 days - Travel planning:<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

For the round trip Bali & East Java from Beijing<\/a> , I planned a total of 12 days. After intensive research, I contacted a friend of mine from Indonesia, who also lives and works in Beijing, to check the travel plans for feasibility and adjust them if necessary. After the final preparation, I was able to get an English-speaking driver organized by my colleague, who led the tour including pick-up from the airport in Denpasar on Bali.<\/p>\n

From Beijing, Denpasar Airport on the Indonesian island of Bali can be reached in around 7 hours by plane.<\/p>\n

I took the trip in late September to early October to avoid the national holidays in China. The rainy season in Bali actually starts in October, but the weather was excellent and the temperatures very pleasant.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, warm, weatherproof clothing and sturdy shoes are a must for climbing the volcanoes in the east of the island of Java. In particular, the path to the Ijen volcano, where the hike to the crater begins at around 1 a.m., can be damp and slippery at times. At the latest, however, the descent into the crater, to the local sulfur mine, is impossible without appropriate footwear.<\/p>\n

It is also advisable to have head or hand lamps with appropriate replacement batteries in your luggage. Charcoal tablets or a remedy for an upset stomach should also not be missing in your luggage. Anyone visiting Indonesia for the first time runs the risk of getting to know the \u201cBali Belly\u201d, a kind of gastrointestinal virus that can quickly destroy a fixed travel plan.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
