Dear Diksha

make sure Google search does not have answers for exactly what you need. All of us got lazy when google created search lah

Having fun and being a little cheeky, I did a google search and here is what I found for question
Ubud Monkey Forest. ...
Tana Toraja. ...
Krakatau Island. ...
Mount Bromo. ...
Prambanan Temple. ...
Komodo Island. ...
Borobudur. ...
Tanah Lot Temple.


Personally  I liked the Borobudur, but I know it is the wrong answer but a personal choice

Composed with music by  Jozef Cleber requested by Prez Sukarno
