There are endless
trekking
opportunities in Indonesia. The most popular volcano treks include
Batur
on Bali and
Bromo
on Java; more taxing favourites include
Gunung Rinjani
on Lombok,
Kerinci
on Sumatra and
Semeru
on Java. In Sumatra, the
Gunung Leuser
national park is Southeast Asia's largest, and includes the famous Bukit Lawang orang-utan sanctuary. Many routes need
guides
, and not just to find the paths: turning up at a remote village unannounced can cause trouble, as people may mistrust outsiders, let alone Westerners. Guides are always available from local vilages and tourist centres. Other useful information
