, ertainly the spiritual beauty of Bali has 

 always played a part on the stage of in- 

 [ternational tourism, with the larger is- 

 lands of Java and Sumatra playing 

 supporting roles. But Indonesia's outlying is- 

 lands — like Sulawesi and the Moluccas — have 

 stayed out of the glare, retaining a shy innocence 

 so rare in this age of go-anywhere jet travel. 



It's apparent in their range of wildlife, from 

 the submarine variety (visible in some of the 

 world's best diving waters) to land-based fauna 

 — like the pygmy buf&lo and the pig-deer with 

 its idiosyncratic tusks. The human interest is no 

 less rewarding. In Sulawesi, formerly called the 

 Celebes, a one-day drive from the capital, Ujung 

 Padang, brings you to the land of the Taraja, 

 where the once warlike tribe keeps 500 years of 

 tradition intact while being welcoming to mod- 

 ern travelers at the same time. 



Even more isolated, the Moluccas (also 

 known as the Spice Islands) are rimmed with 

 reefs and untrodden beaches, topped with volca- 

 noes rising out of a carpet of jungle. Visitors, 

 most of them traveling by small cruise ship, are 



India is such a colorful tossed-salad of cul- 

 tures that it's nearly impossible to recom- 

 mend one week-long bite over another. Yet 

 there is one region, high in the shadow of the 

 Himalayas in the north, that offers the intense 

 taste of the country mixed with a scenery and 

 climate that is truly unforgettable — Kashmir. 



Although most visitors fly into the region's 

 capital, Srinigar, the options from there are nu- 

 merous. Start by marinating yourself in the fla- 

 vor of northern India, browsing through the al- 

 leys and carpet shops of the ciry, famous as a 

 center of the arts. And, when it's time to escape 

 the frenetic pace of the streets, you could duck 

 into the cool interiors of the many splendid 

 mosques or head out to the lake-side baghs or 

 gardens, formal reminders of the different 

 moghuls who took refuge here from the heat of 

 the plains. Looking for accommodations with a 

 difference? Try staying on one of the houseboats 

 clustered at the southern end of Dal Lake, the 

 Indian version of Venice, where multi-hued 

 shikaras take the place of gondolas. 



But the real flavor of Kashmir becomes appar- 

 ent when you leave the urban center for one of 

 the hill stations, like Pahalgam. Here, in a town
