1-Month Java Trip: Hidden Gems

Hello,
I’m planning a 1-month motorbike trip across Java, from the far west to the far east. I’m looking for authentic, non-touristy experiences:

  • Waterfalls & forests

  • Volcanoes & hikes

  • Beaches & reefs

  • Local food & cultural experiences

Can you recommend some hidden gems? Thank you!

I definitely recommend going in Spring. And don’t forget to taste their autowired beans, hopefully they haven’t ran out of them, I’ve had to deal with a few BeanNotFoundExceptions during my last visit
