What to pack for a trip to Indonesia?

For Indonesia, prioritize lightweight and breathable clothing, add a warm sweater for volcanoes, covering outfits for temples, sturdy hiking shoes, sun protection, mosquito repellent, power bank, and a complete first-aid kit.

Essential Clothing

  • Light and flexible clothing : cotton, linen to withstand constant tropical heat
  • Warm sweater and windproof jacket : essential for night hikes on volcanoes where nights are cool
  • Covering outfits : long pants, long sleeves and scarf for women (Muslim regions and temple visits)
  • Sarong : practical for covering arms and legs when visiting temples

Practical Equipment

  • Comfortable hiking shoes : essential for adventure trips
  • Sun protection : sunglasses, hat, high protection sunscreen
  • Effective insect repellent : protection against tropical insects
  • Powerbank and flashlight : in case of frequent power cuts

First Aid Kit

Put together a complete kit with paracetamol, biafine (sunburn), bandages and dressings, antiseptic and anti-vomiting medication for digestive troubles.

Remember

Travel light : constant heat makes heavy luggage particularly uncomfortable. Choose natural and breathable materials.
