Dili

Dili's area is relatively unexplored, owing to the fact that most travelers pass through on their way to Indonesia or other South Asian countries. This is a good thing, because Dili boasts one of the most beautiful green landscapes in the world, with virtually all of it intact and unspoiled.

Dili is a region that provides more than simply beautiful scenery, with spectacular snorkeling reefs, enormous and lush mountains, and perilous areas marked by the devastations of war.

Traveling to Timor-Leste in bad weather can ruin almost all of your plans. This is because roads are usually shut down and pathways can be dangerously muddy and slippery to use. Therefore, the best time to visit Dili is in between the months of June to September as the weather is completely dry then.

As a tourist, you might not have significant options for accommodation, particularly if you’re aiming for a budget hotel. The choice that you eventually make for your accommodation will depend on the type of traveling you’re doing and the budget that you have. For backpackers going either solo or with friends, the best option for accommodation is either a dormitory or twin room in hostels. If you want to go for a higher standard accommodation while traveling as a couple, a good option would be booking a room in a resort or a hotel which is on the lower-end in terms of prices.
