So, you've planned your trip, but you're not quite sure when is the best time to visit Indonesia. The unpredictable weather of the region makes the decision even more difficult. But the answer to "When should I go to Indonesia?" is straightforward: it's always a good time. Each season offers new experiences and adventures.

Many visitors avoid the rainy season in Indonesia, which starts in November and goes up to March. But it's important to note that different regions in the country have their own weather patterns. In West Papua and the Maluku Islands, the dry season is from September to March, while in Sumatra and Kalimantan, March to October is the best. Even if you visit Indonesia during the monsoons, rain showers are typically brief and can create beautiful sights and sounds, alongside sunny days. This season can be especially attractive for travellers who are on a budget, as there are fewer people and lower prices.
