Indonesia's best areas

In some areas, the difference between the two seasons is not extreme: for example, Bali and Kalimantan are not relatively affected by season change, but the contrast usually increases as you travel east to the Nusa Tenggara region (to Lombok Islands, Flores, and beyond) where there is more chance of flooding during the rainy and dry season in the dry areas.

It really depends on your travel plans: Muddy back roads can be a problem during the rainy season if you intend to explore more outside the hammered track sites and harsh seas can make some islands inaccessible. The best months to dive off the coast of Bali, Lombok, or Komodo National Park are April to September, with harsh seas, especially in January and February. If you are planning to climb one of the many volcanoes in Indonesia, such as Mount Bromo or Mount Rinjani, a dry season is recommended. Expect the temperature to cool while going up and pack some warmer layers.
