About this tool
Plan Indonesia outfits by month: Balinese sarong and sash rules, mosque cover-up, Aceh's dress law, volcano layers and a weighed packing list.
This planner applies Indonesia's province-by-province clothing rules to your actual itinerary and turns the result into a counted packing list. Indonesia has no single national dress code: Balinese Hindu temples require a sarong plus a sash tied at the waist with shoulders covered, mosques require ankle-length clothing and a headscarf with shoes off, and Aceh is the one province applying Islamic criminal law under its Qanun Jinayat, where a headscarf and loose clothing are required in public. Climate figures are Jakarta monthly normals, with separate handling for pre-dawn volcano hikes.

Only the rules your itinerary triggers appear, so Bali advice does not get mixed up with Aceh's.
A volcano sunrise means single-figure Celsius at 2 a.m., which no coastal forecast prepares you for.
Quantities follow your laundry interval plus two drying nights in equatorial humidity.
Yes, and a sash as well. Balinese temples require a sarong with a selendang sash tied at the waist, plus covered shoulders, and this applies to men and women alike. Major temples such as Besakih, Uluwatu and Tanah Lot lend or hire both at the gate, though buying your own is cheap and avoids the queue. Notices also ask menstruating women not to enter the inner courtyards.
Aceh applies Islamic criminal law under its Qanun Jinayat, and it applies to visitors as well as residents. Women are required to wear a headscarf and loose clothing in public, neither sex wears shorts, and enforcement patrols do stop people. Penalties can include public caning. This is general travel information rather than legal advice — check current provincial guidance before you go.
On the beach and in the water, yes. Bali's 2023 circular on tourist conduct restates that beachwear does not belong in villages, temples, restaurants or shops, and that appropriate attire is required at sacred sites. A sarong is the standard fix — it covers up on the walk back and doubles as the temple garment.
Cold enough to need a fleece and a wind shell. Bromo, Ijen, Batur and Rinjani start around 2 a.m. at altitudes from roughly 2,300 m to 3,700 m, where temperatures sit in single figures Celsius with wind, even when the coast was 33°C the previous afternoon. Ijen also involves sulphur gas, for which guides supply masks.
