Indonesia

Stretch your hand through ancient stone latticework to touch the lucky Buddhas stop Java's majestic Borobudur. Drink with the dead (and don't slip on buffalo blood!) at an elaborate and riotous Torajan funeral. Sniff out the infamous durian or scaly salak at a local fruit market. Step aside as a giant Komodo dragon swaggers by the confidence only 100kg of top-of-the-food-chain lizard can exude. Eleven authors, more than 300 days of in-country research, 73 ferry trips, 197 detailed maps, 205 bowls of nasi goreng.
Includes in-depth information on volcano trekking, surfing, diving, orang-utan watching and the best adventures.
