GAR Nov17 00 Cover Chosen.indd 1 Welcome to Colours This month we’ve travelled across the globe to explore the best cultural getaways to put next on your list, starting with Madhya Pradesh, a gorgeous rural area of India. Reachable in just a few hours from Mumbai, here nature, historical sites, temples and beautiful buildings influenced by Muslim architecture come together to make the re gion a unique destination worth a detour from the guidebooks. In Indonesia, we visit Wakatobi in Southeast Sulawesi. Popular as one of the archipelago’s best diving sites, Wakatobi also hosts a range of other unique culture and is home to the Bajo tribe. In Java, we go on a spiritual trip to Purwokerto to uncover its temples, waterfalls and a few of the world’s greatest monuments. Last but not least, Nha Trang in Vietnam also proves to be the perfect idyllic getaway spot with its white sandy beaches – up to six kilometres long – and fascinating historical sites that tell of stories from the former Champa kingdom. Bulan ini kami menjelajahi seluruh dunia dan mengunjungi tempat-tempat wisata budaya paling menakjubkan yang layak masuk dalam daftar referensi liburan Anda. Dimulai dengan Madhya Pradesh, sebuah area yang cantik di India. Dapat dicapai dalam beberapa jam perjalanan dari Mumbai, Madhya Pradesh menawarkan keelokan alam, situs bersejarah, kuil dan bangunan- bangunan indah yang dipengaruhi arsitektur Islam, yang menjadikan kawasan ini unik dan patut Anda kunjungi. Sementara di Indonesia, kami menyambangi Wakatobi di Sulawesi Tenggara. Selain terkenal sebagai salah satu lokasi menyelam terbaik di Nusantara, Wakatobi juga memiliki beragam budaya unik dan merupakan rumah bagi suku Bajo. Di Jawa, kami melakukan perjalanan spiritual ke Purwokerto untuk melihat candi-candi, air terjun dan sejumlah monumen terkenal dunia. Tempat terakhir yang tak kalah menarik adalah Nha Trang di Vietnam, yang populer sebagai tempat liburan sempurna dengan pantai berpasir putihnya—sepanjang enam kilometer—serta situs-situs bersejarah menarik yang menyimpan cerita tentang sejarah Kerajaan Champa. 10/24/17 4:38 PM BOARD OF ADVISORS Hengki Heriandono Tri Poetra Indra Sakti PUBLISHER PT Visindo Agensi Tama / Agency Fish DIRECTOR Herawati Saragih ASSISTANT TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dwi Supratina PT Visindo Agensi Tama UOB Plaza – Thamrin Nine, 31 st Floor Jl.
