1. Victoria Waterfall


The Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders, and note that the 'i' is silent) is a
waterfall located in southern Africa on the Zambezi River between the countries of Zambia and
Zimbabwe.
It is claimed to be the largest. This
claim is based on a width of 1,708
metres (5,604 ft) and height of 108
metres (354 ft), forming the largest
sheet of falling water in the world. The
falls' maximum flow rate compares
well with that of other major
waterfalls.
For a considerable distance
upstream from the falls, the Zambezi
flows over a level sheet of basalt, in a
shallow valley bounded by low and
distant sandstone hills. The river's
course is dotted with numerous tree-
covered islands, which increase in
number as the river approaches the
falls. There are no mountains, escarpments, or deep valleys which might be expected to create a
waterfall, only flat plateau extending hundreds of kilometres in all directions.
The falls are formed as the full width of the river plummets in a single vertical drop into a
transverse chasm 1708 metres (5604 ft) wide, carved by its waters along a fracture zone in the basalt
plateau. The depth of the chasm, called the First Gorge, varies from 80 metres (260 ft) at its western
end to 108 metres (354 ft) in the centre. The only outlet to the First Gorge is a 110 metres (360 ft)
wide gap about two-thirds of the way across the width of the falls from the western end, through
which the whole volume of the river pours into the Victoria Falls gorges.
There are two islands on the crest of the falls that are large enough to divide the curtain of water
even at full flood: Boaruka Island (or Cataract Island) near the western bank, and Livingstone Island
near the middle the place that David Livingstone first saw the falls from in Zambia. At less than
full flood, additional islets divide the curtain of water into separate parallel streams. The main streams
are named, in order from Zimbabwe (west) to Zambia (east): Devil's Cataract (called Leaping Water
by some), Main Falls, Rainbow Falls (the highest) and the Eastern Cataract.

3. Borobudur Temple

Borobudur is one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world. Founded by a king of the
Saliendra dynasty, it was built to honour the glory of both the Buddha and its founder, a true king
Bodhisattva. The name Borobudur is believed to have been derived from the Sanskrit words vihara
Buddha uhr, meaning the Buddhist monastery on the hill. Borobudur temple is located in Muntilan,
Magelang, and is about 42 km from Yogyakarta city.
This colossal temple was built
between AD 750 and 842: 300 years
before Cambodia's Angkor Wat, 400
years before work had begun on the
great European cathedrals. Little is
known about its early history except
that a huge army of workers worked
in the tropical heat to shift and carve
the 60,000 m
3
of stone. At the
beginning of the 11th century AD,
because of the political situation in
Central Java, divine monuments in
that area, including the Borobudur
Temple became completely
neglected and given over to decay. The Sanctuary was exposed to volcanic eruption and other ravages
of nature. The temple was not rediscovered until the 19th century. A first restoration campaign,
supervised by Theodor van Erp, was undertaken shortly after the turn of the century. A second one
was led more recently (1973-82).
A harmonious marriage of stupas, temple-mountain and the ritual diagram, this temple complex
was built on several levels around a hill which forms a natural centre. The first level above the base
comprises five square terraces, graduated in size and forming the base of a pyramid. Above this level
are three concentric circular platforms crowned by the main stupa. Stairways provide access to this
monumental stupa. The base and the balustrades enclosing the square terraces are decorated in reliefs
sculpted in the stone. They illustrate the different phases of the soul's progression towards redemption
and episodes from the life of Buddha. The circular terraces are decorated with no fewer than 72
openwork stupas each containing a statue of Buddha.
Stylistically the art of Borobudur is a tributary of Indian influences (Gupta and post-Gupta styles).
The walls of Borobudur are sculptured in bas-reliefs, extending over a total length of 6 km. It has
been hailed as the largest and most complete ensemble of Buddhist reliefs in the world, unsurpassed
in artistic merit, each scene an individual masterpiece. The narratives reliefs on the main walls read
from the right to left, those on the balustrade from left to right. This was done for the purpose of the
Pradaksina, the ritual circumambulation which the pilgrims make moving on the clockwise and
keeping the sanctuary to the right.
The Karmawibangga reliefs on the hidden foot are devoted to the law of karma. The Lalitavistara
series do not provide a complete biography of the Buddha, from the Hushita heaven and end his
sermon in the Deer Park near the Benares. Jataka are stories about the Buddha before he was born as
Prince Sidharta. Awadana are similar to Jataka, but the main figure is not the Boddhisatva, and the
saintly deeds are attributed to other legendary persons.
6

The stories are compiled in the Dvijavadana (Glorious Heavenly Acts) and the Awadana
Sataka(Hundred Awadanas). The first twenty panels in the lower series of the first gallery depict, the
Sudhanakumaravadana. The series of reliefs covering the wall of the second gallery is devoted to
Sudhana's tireless wanderings in search of the Highest Perfect Wisdom. The story is continued on the
wall and balustrade of the third and fourth galleries. Its depiction in most of the 460 panels is based on
the holy Nahayana text Gandavyuha, the concluding scenes being derived from another text,
theBadracari.

4. Elephant Cave

Welcome to Gua Gajah (Elephant Cave) which is located in west side of Bedulu countryside,
Blah Batuh Sub district and Gianyar Regency. It is about 27 km from Denpasar town. This cave is
built at crevasse edge from the federation of 2 rills that is called Pangkung River , where the irrigation
is mixed with Petanu River flow. The federation area of two rivers is called Campuhan/Mixture. It
owns the magical energy on the basis of Rwabineda Concept/two different matters on this basic
concept hence Gua Gajah (Elephant Cave) is intentionally built among two rivers.
The word of Gua Gajah is
anticipated coming from the
word of Lwa Gajah, the name
of Buddhist Temple or
hermitage for Buddhist monk.
The Gua Gajah's name is
written on Negarakertagama
papyrus which is compiled by
Mpu Prapanca on 1365 M.

944 Saka, it is mentioned with
the name of ser ring Air
Gajah' that is meaning the Subak leader in Air Gajah. The word has mentioned that the hermitage of
Lwa Gajah is located in Subak Air Gajah.

cave. It was carved many designed on the relief like grove with the stick, close leaf, animal for
example forest pig, tortoise and specters. The cave mouth is decorated by the bas-relief with the eye
turn around to the right or west side. There is an article letter of Kediri type from the early of 11
century was written on the wall left side or east side. There is a pool (Patirthaan) as a place to take the
holy Tirtha water for Hindu ceremony which is located in the middle of the cave courtyard. This Holy
Pool is previously piled up by land and it has been found on 1954 by Krijgsman from the Ancient
Department. The Holy pool is equipped by the statue douche which is parallel arranged in two groups.

which has been found by the first president. The name of Tirta Empul is loaded in a inscription which
is kept at Sakenan Temple, Manukaya village, Sub district of Tampak Siring, about 3 km from Tirta
Empul Temple. In this inscription, the Tirta Empul is named by the Tirta Ri Air Hampul and then the
name has changed into Tirta Hampul and finally become the Tirta Empul. Tirta Ri air hampul is
meaning the water emerge or the holy pool (Petirthan) which is the water emerge from the land.

According to papyrus of Usana Bali narrated that Tirta Empul is created by Bhatara Indra
(Sun Deity) when bearing arms against the king where his palace is located in Bedahulu Countryside.
He is known as a very miraculous king, which he can lose or show suddenly, therefore he is named by
Mayadenawa. Because of its miracle, he becomes the arrogance and expressing himself as a god. The
Mayadenawa King owns the assistant (Patih) which is called Kalawong. They prohibit the people to

7. Mount Tangkuban Perahu


Tangkuban perahu is a volcano, 25 kilometers north of Bandung direction of Lembang. Its
location is in between Sagalaherang village, Sagalaherang district, Subang regency and Cikole village,
Lembang district, Bandung regency. This is Bandung's most famous tourist volcano just 28 km north
of the city. This volcano offers many places to see and explore. Whether we look into the huge crater
or hike down into it, stroll through the forest on its slopes, or simply enjoy the splendid panoramic
scenery. Mt. Tangkuban Perahu is an interesting destination that everyone in the Bandung area is fond
of visiting. When seen from
Bandung, Mt. Tangkuban
Perahu has a distinctive
shape, like an upside down
boat. Tangkuban Perahu
means, in fact, "up-turned
boat" This peculiar shape has
stimulated the fantasy of the
Sundanese people from early
times as expressed in the
Legend of Sangkuriang.
Geologically, Mt. Tangkuban
Perahu has played a
significant role in the
development of Parahyangan
highlands. Eruptions have
contributed immensely to the
hills north of Bandung through lava flowing into the valleys and hardening into rock, thus forming big
cliffs over which waterfalls leap. Likewise, mud flows have formed a semi-circular cone of gentle
gradient (what geologists call "a fan"), which is now a mass that blocked the valley of the ancient
Citarum River near present day in Padalarang (some 18 km west of Bandung), this caused a lake to
form covering the whole Bandung plain.
Tangkuban Perahu is a volcano with three craters into which areas tourists can walk through.
These three craters are: Kawah Ratu ("Queen Crater"), Kawah Domas ("Domas Crater"), and Kawah
Upas ("Upas Crater"). Tourists can go down into the Domas Crater where exist many hot geysers in
which they can boil eggs. Though the mountain appears peaceful, mild eruptions occurred in 1969,
when Kawah Ratu spewed ash and barrages 500 m high. As recently as September 1992 it was closed
to the public for a few days because unusually high seismic activity leads volcanologist to fear a new
eruption. On the mountain's northern flank is an area called Death Valley, so named for its frequent
accumulation of poisonous gases. On a reasonably clear day, from Kawah Ratu, the main crater, we
can see not only the mountain range to the east, with Mt. Bukittunggul as its highest peak (2,209 m),
but also two other in a northeasterly direction. The lower and nearer one is Mt. Tampomas (1,684 m)
just north of Sumedang some 40 km away. To the right and about 90 km away is Mt. Ciremai close to
Cirebon on the north coast. At 3,078 m, Mt. Ciremai is West Java's tallest mountain. At the foot of
Mt. Tangkuban Perahu we see the Ciater tea plantation covering the rolling hills. Farther to the left are
the northern coastal plains of Java, and on an extremely clear day we may even be able to see the Java
Sea beyond.
12

Kawah Ratu, which means "Queen's Crater", is today just a big gray hole, which sometimes
has a pool of water at its center. Poisonous gases sometimes accumulate in Kawah Ratu, thus making
it somewhat of a risk to descend to the crater floor. Beyond the saddled shaped depression on the far
side of Kawah Ratu is the still active Kawah Upas, the oldest crater on the mountain. On the very far
western cliff we see a spot where all vegetation has been destroyed by constantly rising sulfurous
vapors. On the crater walls, note the various layers of material consisting of rock, sand, and pebbles.
Overtime, new craters have formed again and again in a rather consistent shift from west to east. The
most well known of these is the Domas crater, but also there are other smaller ones in jungle on the
mountain's northeastern flank. Facilities in Tangkuban Perahu Crater are comfortable parking area,
souvenir kiosks, and restaurants.

8. Pangandaran Beach

Small mainland peninsula with a national park with beaches and stunning scenery to rival the
beaches of Bali on the south coast of Java. Pangandaran is one of Java's best-kept secrets as far as
international tourists are concerned, but has been extremely popular with locals for along, long time.
A small fishing town, it possesses
one of Java's finest beaches and
Pangandaran Nature Reserve teems
with wild buffalo, barking deer and
monkeys. The people are very
friendly, this combined with the
idealize surroundings make this a
great place to spend a few days
relaxing island-style. Pangandaran
is halfway between Bandung and
Yogya, about 5 hours by bus from
Bandung and 8 hours from Jakarta.
This is the second beach
resort area on the Indian Ocean
after Pelabuhan Ratu. The site is
223 from Bandung and 400km from Jakarta. The trip by car or bus is recommendable because the
road conditions are good. However, if we prefer to take the train, get into Bandung-Yogyakarta
Express train and get off at the Banjar railroad station about 4 hours later. From here it will be another
50 km by bus to Pangandaran. The beach is called Penanjung, where most of the cottages and hotels
are located, however, of modest ratings. Nothing luxurious should be expected. Pangandaran is
especially of interest to nature lovers, as there is a wildlife reserve in the vicinity where wild birds and
other indigenous animals live about freely to be enjoyed by visitors. In Pangandaran visitors will like
fine white beaches, blue ocean and fine seafood. Twelve kilometers before arriving at Pangandaran
visitors will see a huge rock on the beach, which is called Karang Nini.
Another place of special interest for nature lovers is a forest Conservation Park, close to the
camping ground, which has basic facilities suitable for the younger set. Somewhat further out, west of
Pangandaran, driving 23 km on the way to Parigi, lays Batu Hiu, meaning Shark's Rock, a coastal
rock that has the shark shape.

9. Jatiluhur Dam

Purwakarta is a part of West Java, a small district with its beautiful scenery of Jatiluhur Dam.
It is located 9 kilometers from Purwakarta, is known as Juanda Dam, which could accommodate 3
billion cubic of water from
Citarum River. Situated
halfway between Jakarta and
Bandung, this dam was
originally built with French
technical assistance in the
1950's to generate electrical
power for the region. It is the
first multipurpose dam in
Indonesia. It now provides
irrigation to the surrounding
Arabic land and a fishery
industry has been developed
as well. It is now being
developed for tourism and
provides convenient facilities
such as swimming pools,
tennis courts, a camping ground, and speedboats for water skiing and cottages. The reservoir is huge,
the scenery tropical, the air crisp and cool.
In the dam, there are six turbine units with installed capacity of 187 megawatts and could
generate electricity of 1,000 million kilowatt ours per year. Besides, the dam functions to feed water
to irrigation channel of 242,000 hectares of farming land provide raw water for drinking water, as
fishery and as flood control.
Grama Tirta is a place where we can enjoy our holiday doing various kinds of outdoor
sporting activities. Enjoy a morning walk at Jatiluhur Dam, inhaling the crisp fresh air. Let the cool
morning dew on the grass and melodious songs of bird greet in each morning. Catch a glimpse of our
Morning Glory and its breathtaking beauty will inspire us to new heights.
For those who love water sports and recreation, 8,300 hectares dam with its year round crystal
clear waters, will be difficult to resist. Climb into a paddleboat to explore the Jatiluhur Dam, or just sit
back and relax in a motorboat to experience the great outdoors. And if speed and challenge are what
we are looking for, the fleet of jet skis will propel the tourists to all corners of the lake.
Asides from its function as hydro power plant, Jatiluhur dam also has a number of recreation
facilities including hotels, bungalow, bar and restaurant, tennis court, billiard, camping site,
swimming pool, meeting room, water sport recreation center, playground etc. Water sport recreation
center includes rowing, surfing, water ski, boating and shipping. In Jatiluhur dam, there is a Ikan
Keramba Jaring Apung or Keramba Fish Floating Net activity, that could become a distinguished
activity in the dam. In the daylight or at night, we can fish with peace and eat roasted fishes.

10. Alor and Lembata Island

Alor and Lembata Islands are the least visited and are therefore the most unspoiled regions of East
Nusa Tenggara (NTT). Trek to the rim of Pantar volcano, visit the traditional whaling village on
Lembata or dive the straits of Alor at a dive destination rated by all to be amongst the best in the
world.
Alor Island regency is the least visited
and therefore the most unspoiled region of
Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT). Trek to the rim
of a volcano on Pantar or dive the straits of
Alor and Pantar in a dive destination rated by
all to be amongst the best in the world. Ponder
on the existence of the Moko drums, which
are not found in large numbers anywhere else
in Indonesia and can be traced back to the
Dongson period in Vietnam around 350 BC
and you start to realize that Alor is truly a land
lost in time.
Alor diving is known as the best in the world With its smoldering Volcanoes reaching down
into crystal clear waters fringed with pristine coral reefs, coconut fringed pure white sandy beaches
and traditional villages built half way up mountains, the scenery is as spectacular above as it is below
the waterline. Alor Island is so mountainous that it is almost impossible to pass from one side to the
other and many of the villages on the island itself can only transport themselves via small wooden
ferries. The eight distinct dialects and more than 50 sub-dialects spoken today, testifies to the diversity
on Alor.
Alor traditional culture has been influenced over the ages by the Indian, Chinese and Javanese
traders as well as by the Islamic and Christian religions. This can be seen in the silk thread woven into
the original weavings and the mix of Mosques and Christian churches dotted throughout the Island.
The traditional dances, Ikat weavings motifs and the varies architectural style greatly from area to
area. With more than a dozen traditional villages within one hours drive from the capital Kalabahi -
Alor is a cultural tourists heaven.
Lembata Island is known throughout the world as the home of traditional whaling but what is
not known is that the people of this Island are especially rich in cultural tradition. The beautiful rich
Ikat weavings are entirely made from homegrown cotton, spun and dyed by the weaver. These cloths
are still important as they are exchanged during marriage for Ivory tusks between the two families.
The scenery throughout the Island is breathtaking, from the ever-imposing "Ile Ape" volcano of the
palm fringed bays to the colorful bustling local markets - beauty and excitement are everywhere.
Lamalera village located on the southern tip of Lembata Island is the home of a traditional
whale hunting community. Here, Sperm Whales have been hunted for centuries using all hand made
equipment; their spears, rope and boats are all made in the village. The boats are without motors and
the harpooner must jump from the boat to implant his harpoon in to the whale to ensure success. All
parts of the whale are either consumed or traded with other Islanders for corn or other food. While
whale hunting is not generally condoned by modern societies, when consider the ancestral links, the
primitive equipment used and the importance to the people of Lamalera it is understandable that this
traditional hunting has been sanctioned by the United Nations.

This building is dominated by yellow colors. However, do not connect it with the color of a
political party. Yellow was the typical color of the Malay. There are family photographs, furnishings,
and old weapons inside the building. The Maimoon Palace was the legacy of Deli Sultanate. Maimoon
palace was located in Brigjen Katamso Street, Medan. Sultan Deli, Sultan Makmun Al Rasyid Perkasa
Alamsyah, had established this palace.
The designer was an Italia architect,
and finished in 1888. Built on a land
measuring 2.772 m2 wide the palace
building is facing to east, and become
the centre of the Deli kingdom. This
palace consisted of two floors that
were divided into three parts, which is
the main building, the left wing, and
the right wing. In front, around 100
meters, stood Al-Maksum mosque that
are well known as Medan's Great
mosque.
In the guest room (balairung) we will encounter the throne that was dominated by yellow
color. Crystal lights lighted the throne, a form of influence of European culture. The same influences
are appeared in the palace furnishings like the seat, the table, toilet and the cupboard and the door,
headed to balairung. The room measuring 412 m2 was used for the coronation agenda of Sultan Deli
or the other traditional agenda. Balairung was also used as the place where the Sultan received praised
from his relatives and family in Islam holidays.
Further more, the number of the rooms was 40, 20 rooms in the upper floor, the Sultan's
throne and 20 rooms underneath, not include 4 bathrooms, the warehouse, the kitchen, and the prison
in the basement. Interesting if we observe this palace architectural design. The blend between the
Islam tradition and European culture was boldly implemented. Apart from the balairung, the building
base also showed Europe influence. Some of the building material was imported from Europe, like
floor tiles, marble, and terrazzo.
The pattern of Dutch architecture with the door and wide and tall windows, as well as Spanish
stylish doors became a part of the Maimoon Palace. The Dutch influenced was also seen in the marble
inscription in front of the marble ladder that was written with Latin letter in Netherlands language.
The Islam influence was seen in the form of the curve or arcade in several parts of the palace
roof. The curve that had the shape of the overturn boat that was known with Persian Curve was often
met on the buildings in the Middle East, Turkey, and India region. The Maimoon palace was one of
the most beautiful buildings in Medan. His location is easy to be reach, both from Polonia Airport
(about 10 km) and Belawan Port (about 28 km). This historic building was open public every day
from 08.00 until 17.00.

mosque in North Sumatra. Sultan Makmun Al Rasyid built this mosque in 1906. This Great mosque is

1886. Labuhan mosque was one of the
mosques with unique Indian style with
the octagon dome. Labuhan mosque
was located in the Medan-Belawan
highway to north from the centre of the
Medan city.
The dome of Al Ma'sum
Mosque that had flat and quadrangle
shape also in the peak of the roof has
the usual crescent moon decoration was
also found in other Islamic buildings
like the Mosque and the tower that according to the experts often were connected as the symbol of
peacefulness, where Islam was broadcasted without violence. Apart from the plan, dome, curves
(arcade), the crescent moon decoration on its peak, the influence of Islamic art is clearly visible in its
ornamentation, whether on the wall, the ceiling, the poles, and the curved surface (face Arcade) that
was rich in the decoration of flowers and winding plants painted with oil paint. This floristic
decoration apart from being styled reminds to Tumpal and mekara motive, also painted with
Naturalistic style. Except the floral motive and geometric motive, the combination between
Polygonal, Octagonal and circle decorations was also appealing. The motive of this kind especially
very much found in walls, the curved surface, the ceiling etc. This motive was also found in the iron
curtain form of the quadrangle windows and the shape of the curve that reminded us to motive the
Indian style wall carving. In Indonesia, this kind of decoration was often acknowledged as
Terawangan or Kerawangan decoration, apart as being a decoration, this decoration also functioned as
ventilation.

via Magelang to the south. It is still possible to see that the two sides of the station were built to
accommodate different size trains. Ambarawa lays some way above sea level and was an
administrative centre for the Dutch colonialists. Now the provincial Government of Central Java is
increasingly taking an interest from the point of view of its heritage significance and its potential as a
tourist attraction. Non-Governmental bodies like the Semarang Heritage Society are also acting to
assist and there is also an unofficial overseas group 'The Friends of Ambarawa Railway Museum'.

Mount Fuji (Fuji-san) is the highest mountain in Japan, rising to 12,388 feet. Visible
from Tokyo on a clear day, the beautiful cone-shaped mountain is located west of the city, surrounded
by lakes in a national park.
Mt. Fuji is named for the Buddhist fire goddess Fuchi and is sacred to the Shinto goddess
Sengen-Sama, whose shrine is found at
the summit. It is the holiest of Japan's
"Three Holy Mountains." Every summer,
thousands of pilgrims and tourists climb
to the summit, many of them hiking
throughout the night to witness the
sunrise from the summit.
Mount Fuji is a volcano, which
geologists estimate was created 600,000
years ago during the Pleistocene era. It
last erupted in 1707 and is now dormant.
According to Buddhist tradition, Fuji rose
from the earth in 286 BC after an
earthquake that also created Lake Biwa
(the largest lake in Japan).
Fuji-san has been regarded
as sacred mountain for virtually as long
as humans have lived nearby. It was originally a sacred mountain of the Ainu, the aboriginal
inhabitants of Japan.
For Shintoists (modern followers of the native religion), Mt. Fuji is sacred to the goddess
Sengen-Sama and an embodiment of the very spirit of nature. The Fujiko sect goes even father,
believing the mountain itself is a sacred being with a soul.
Although especially important to Shintoists, Fuji is also sacred to Japanese Buddhists, who

san's dimensions are impressive: 12,388 feet high; 78 miles in circumference and 25-30 miles in
diameter around the base; topped with crater spanning 1600 feet in diameter.
A beautifully proportioned volcanic cone in a spectacular natural setting, Fuji-san is beloved
for its symmetrical beauty as well as its holiness. It is a very popular subject in Japanese art and
landscape photography. Fuji's nickname Konohana-Sakuahime means "causing the blossom to bloom
brightly," referring to the pink cherry blossoms that frame the snowy mountain in the spring.
Unlike some sacred mountains, it is not considered sacrilegious to climb Mt. Fuji - in fact,
to ascend to the summit is an important pilgrimage. The mountain is home to many Shinto shrines,
Buddhist temples and torii gates. The official climbing season is only two months long (July and
August), during which time most of the snow has melted and thousands of pilgrims and hikers make
the climb to the top.
