Respect local traditions and beliefs: Indonesia is a religiously diverse country, so it is important to be respectful of local customs and beliefs. For example, on the island of Java, the majority of the population is Muslim, while on the island of Bali, the majority is Hindu. In Bali, visitors should avoid disturbing the small religious offerings placed on the ground and all around. Sarongs and hip scarves are required to enter temples, and women are not allowed to enter temples while menstruating.
