Before You Go What to bring along When packing, keep in mind that you will be in the tropics, but that it gets cold in the mountains. Generally, you will want to dress light and wear natural fibres that absorb perspiration. Don t bring too much, as you ll be tempted by the great variety of inexpensive clothes available here.
Most tourists find a Javanese batik cotton shirt more comfortable than what they brought along.
For those taking one of Jaya Prima s programs, special preparation for western toileteries is not needed, as the accomodation in all packages is provided in stars hotels. Climate The climate in Java is tropical. However the rain is predictable, and always stop for a time, when the sun may come out. Before it rains, the air gets very stickey. Afterwards it is refreshingly cool.
