Indonesia is a vast archipelago offering everything from bustling cities to serene beaches, and it’s one of the most affordable travel destinations in Southeast Asia. Bali is the most famous tourist destination, and while it can be more expensive, the island still offers affordable accommodations and food for budget travelers. Outside Bali, places like Yogyakarta, Sumatra, and Lombok are even cheaper, with guesthouses available for as low as $5-10 per night. Street food is also incredibly cheap, with delicious local dishes like nasi goreng (fried rice) costing around $1-2. For nature lovers, Indonesia’s diverse landscapes, including volcanoes, rainforests, and coral reefs, offer endless adventures at low prices.
