etting bored with Bali? Well, that may be a far-fetched scenario. But for those visitors willing to explore the archipelago and who don'€™t mind missing out on a little of the modern conveniences provided by Bali'€™s ultra-chic clubs and fine-dining establishments, then it is a good time to hop onto the next flight heading to East Java or East Nusa Tenggara.

The former has several stunning national parks, thriving fishing villages with colorful boats, awesome active volcanoes, one of which features in this edition'€™s cover story, and a wide selection of traditional delicacies.

The latter boasts pristine, white sandy beaches with gorgeous underwater landscapes, scenic rural towns with pastoral churches, vast savannas and strong traditional liquors matched only by the locals'€™ pride in their cultural legacy.

The adventurous may find either of these regions to be a perfect place to quench their wanderlust.
