⚠️【Notes】
🚗 You must hire a car for traveling in Indonesia; taking taxis will be overcharged, and renting a car is very difficult to drive
🧥 It’s cold in the mountains, bring a fleece jacket or thick coat
👟 Most activities involve hiking and wading, bring sports shoes + water shoes
🧴 Prepare good sun protection; UV index is very high during sunrise tours
🔋 Definitely bring a power bank; there are almost no charging opportunities on the road
💊 If you get seasick or carsick, be sure to bring medicine; mountain roads are steep and water routes are bumpy
💰 Quick exchange rate calculation: ÷ 2000
😷 Bring an N95 mask and wear dark clothes when going to the volcano; there’s a lot of ash
🪙 Tipping country; recommended to tip drivers 100,000-150,000 IDR per person every 2-3 days
☎️ It’s recommended to buy a SIM card in advance; buying one after landing will be more expensive
