5 reasons why Southeast Asia is a Delightful place for backpacker

Southeast Asia has long been a favorite for travelers on a budget. There is a reason that this place is so popular though and there are many benefits to making your main trip when berpetualang.Asia East offers a lot of new things on tourists.

Many backpackers from Europe and South America-megnunjungi various places in the world with a variety of reasons, but I think Southeast Asia is the most fun to backpakers. The combination of vibrant culture, exciting food and low prices make the most for the backpacker life and a must for anyone planning a long trip.

This is why Southeast Asia beat out the others:

1. Food to die for

Really, Asian food is the number one reason (and justifiably could be the only reason you need) to schedule a visit to the far east. I'll go take a risk here and say that it was probably the best food in the whole world. From the snack street in Bangkok to Vietnam for a curry banquet Malaysia, there is a lifetime's worth delights to sample. No where else in the world can you find a cuisine that compares to the food, a variety of live, colorful and flavorful found here.

2. Budget Friendly

Most Backpackers have to work hard to make their money stretch as far as possible. In many places in Asia the pressure off, especially in countries such as Vietnam and Laos, where you can easily earn $ 15 per day on most days. For backpackers and travel around the world, traveling costs are cheaper means that you can travel longer. Funds can cover the same month in Europe could extend for several months there. And when it's cheaper to eat out rather than even trying to cook, you can fully embrace and enjoy your visit without having to overly emphasize your wallet.

3.  Easy Travel

While traveling in Europe and Australia can be expensive, Southeast Asia is one of the easiest and cheapest way to travel in the world. A number of budget airlines and established bus and train network makes it easy for about, often for just a few dollars. In addition there is a strong infrastructure set up to help foreign travelers book tickets and go from one place to another. 

4. Beautiful Beach

Some of the most beautiful beaches in the world are in Asia, and since the beach season never ends, you can live in a state of constant heat. Throughout the year you can go snorkeling or scuba diving in the crystal waters off of Bali, Thailand or Malaysia, or just relax in a hammock beach and remember all of your friends suffer through the winter back home.

 5. History

This is the stomping ground of some of the oldest civilizations in the world, from Angkor to the Javans and Champa. Many of the ancient peoples left a beautiful structure and legacy behind - you can visit the pagodas of Bagan, exploring the ruins of Angkor Wat, or staring at thousands of ancient temples perfectly maintained throughout the region.

This area also has a lot of modern history worth exploring, although it does not have the same epic fun. In the course of the twentieth century the region experienced the Vietnam War, the Khmer Rouge terror and genocide bombing near Laos. That goes protests in Bangkok and the ever-changing situation in Burma shows that history is an ongoing process and that cities can change almost in front of your eyes.

Lava Cave
Bungkah Toya village, still early in the morning. Cold sets in body continued to writhe not want to get out of bed. However, at 04.00 pm immediately stepped foot should greet the horizon in the morning at the peak of Mount Batur. From the southeast foot of the mountain which is on the Lake Batur, the journey began.

Three-meter wide gravel road that passed, replaced by the path with slope varying between 20-60 degrees. Silent, cool, broken by the sound of footsteps and panting breath climbing.


In the course apparently also encountered groups of climbers to the summit of the mountain. Seen from a distance, looks dots of light flashlights snaking on the route. The path is trampled igneous volcanic eruptions result. Feet should be convinced to choose rocks that can not be separated trampled to add height.


At 5:45 footsteps reached the lip of the crater not far summit of Mount Batur, which is a strategic 

place to greet the sunrise. Mid-October, the sun began to tinge at the edge of the sky around 5:40 pm. Purplish blue skies parted golden color of the sun that is slowly emerging form 06.00.

Group of climbers who met earlier in the trip, gather together to enjoy the morning. They turned out to be mostly foreign tourists from Australia and Europe, a small portion of Southeast Asia, from Malaysia and Singapore.The sun began to rise, I proceed to the crater of Mount Batur. Herd of tame monkeys occasionally accompany down into the crater as lava tunnel led to the door (lava tunnel). Geologists noted, the tunnel is unique because the entire wall is formed by lava flows.When Mount Batur erupted, lava spilling through the southeast side of the crater. "The top of the lava solidifies first, but the inside is still molten so as to make the cavity, and now formed the tunnel," said Indyo Pratomo, geologists from the Geological Museum in Bandung.Enter into the dark tunnel wall can be found crystals. Highlight flashlight made increasingly shiny crystals. Indyo say that the crystals formed by acid and mineral content

.The tunnel is also sacred by indigenous people in the mountains of Bali, in Kintamani district, Bangli district. At the end of the tunnel visible scars offerings are piled in a small space for worship. Surrounding communities have an integral relationship with the mountain. Mount is the center of spiritual orientation.

Climb Batur charming natural landscape and searching for lava tunnel, still not complete if it does not continue the journey to the crater are two other craters II and III in the west of the crater I.


The afternoon, around the crater can be seen more freely Batur natural landscape. The crater of Mount Batur was in the height of 1,717 meters above sea level, which appears right in the middle of the caldera Ancient shelf. Near the crater II contained the steam fumarole field that burst from the ground, which is used to boil eggs climbers.


Landscape Batur is one of the lab's work brilliantly own country Indonesia and the world. In this place people can learn directly from the natural history of the earth, the land and the formation of mountains, known rocks and soil.


Lava field starting from the caldera of Mount Batur first formed 29,300 years ago to the second caldera that formed 29,000 years ago. Then the cone of an active volcano began to form 5,000 years ago and continues to grow until now then became the natural attractions and climbing.


Father of Geology, Van Bemmelen (1949), called the Caldera Batur caldera as one of the largest and most beautiful in the world. It has a crescent-shaped lake with an area reached 16.6 square kilometers, is the second largest caldera lake in Indonesia after Lake Toba in North Sumatra.


Mount Batur is easily accessible location, but many people do not reap significant direct knowledge of the history of the mountain. The surrounding mountains are not just social and cultural uniqueness which has long been known to the world, but also the uniqueness of the natural landscape and geology. Also in this district are Batur Volcano Museum.


"Caldera Batur very complete and fits into a natural laboratory, travelers simply enjoy the beauty of the mountains and culture.'s Just that, a lot of people do not know that we can learn firsthand about the history of the earth here (Batur)," said Indyo Pratomo.


Because that's the nature completeness, organization Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization or the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has just set the caldera of Mount Batur, as part of the Global Geopark Network or a network of global earth garden.

Ratu Boko, The Beautiful Temple In Yogyakarta

Ratu Boko site visit is part of a recreational eyes, feet, and mind. Besides being able to settle for a walk and see the sights, this is the right place to free your mind, imagine for a moment as the palace in the past.

Ratu Boko temple situated Bokoharjo village, Prambanan district, Sleman regency, Yogyakarta, about three kilometers south of Prambanan, and 18 kiometer the east of Yogyakarta. In the past, the temple was indeed a palace, palace, remnants of the Ancient Mataram Kingdom, and is built around the 8th century.


In 1790, the site was first discovered by Dutch archaeologist, Van Boekholtz, with preliminary findings in the form of the remains of archeological ruins on the hill Ratu Boko. A hundred years back udian, these findings were followed by FDK Bosch who conducted research titled Van Ratoe Bokoe palace, and in the end the findings on the hill known as Kraton Ratu Boko Ratu Boko.


After passing through the arrangement of the steps of the entrance to the site, every visitor can enter the majestic main gate. Perhaps in the past, as is often portrayed in movies or comic strips, this gate is always maintained by the retainer ...


Passing through the gate, you are greeted by two tall gate, where the first gate pick i double doors, and the gate behind him has three doors.


After that, in the vast expanse of the area of ​​this site, as far as the eye could see in front of the left and right, there are various forms of ancient stone structure.


At the north gate there is a stone structure built about three feet from the ground, berkuran 26x26 meter square shaped. The temple is known as the Combustion Temple. In the middle, there is a d ua meter deep hole. As the name implies, this hole is expected to be the burning of offerings or a corpse. A little to the east, you will find Buddhist stupa.


If you look to the south, visitors can see two rectangular-shaped stone structure, which was built about two feet off the ground. The top which is a composition of smooth stones without holes, suggest that this site becomes a kind of stage.


Still on the south side, are more inclined to the northeast, you will find a building called the Hall. The building is similar to a meeting room, rectangular-shaped, and covered by a low wall that surrounds it. The verandah has three doors, which is on the west side, north and south.If you come to visit saa t evening, try out the pindu west. Once stepped on some stairs at the bottom, you be met before the sun went down. When there is a will perpetuate this scene from the back, you will see your body glowing sun dar-pen.


These scenes are often shown in movies and advertising, to describe the valor king or queen when going out of the palace to greet subordinates or subjects. When you want to feel a court ruling that went out of the palace, you will probably be enough to change clothes ...As a historic building, heritage palace, the grandeur aura Ratu Boko site, really feels. Not surprisingly, the site is finally often used as a location for prewedding photo or rent a place of execution of the wedding reception.


Luxury and beauty of the clothes they wear, the palace background, Ratu Boko, as represented enough that the bride's family will ak's be king and queen of the day, at least on the day of his wedding ...However, in fact, seen the splendor of the building Ratu Boko temple in the present, have not actually presented perfectly. In the vicinity of the temple, there are thousands of stones that are still allowed to accumulate and not drafted, a part of the temple.


One of the officers on the ticketing in the tourism Ratu Boko, said Ratu Boko temple restoration is not perfect because there are many loose stones that have not dik etahui where he stood in the temple. Not only that, the preparation of the temple also can not be completed due to a lot of rock temples still left in the house residents.


"A lot of the rock temple serve as a foundation or base for attaching poles homes," he saidThe relationship between citizens and Ratu Boko temple is so close. T o just merely because the cut rock temple is still stored in homes, the closeness of this relationship more apparent than real visible in the distance.


Ratu Boko is less than 10 meters to the nearest houses. The distance between the temple and the settlement was not limited strictly to the fence or wall, but only a mound of rocks and soil.Residents are free to pass to perform daily activities. When I visited last week, an old man walks over to her house temple, looking after cattle pasture goats.For those of us who live around here, Ratu Boko temple as part of our front yard, said Wiwid, a resident of the Village Bokoharjo.


It would not be a significant problem. Residents keep this temple as a valuable building, without ever even any follow-destruction or theft.Activities of local people is also increasingly embed the impression that the legacy of the past will never escape from the present life. And past life previously unimaginable, is the beauty of fantasy, which in the present suck more people to come visit. However, for activities rekre ation, want to enjoy the beauty of the present or just to remember the past, it all depends on personal preference. Take your pick, because Ratu Boko temple serves all of the beauty to be enjoyed ...
