On motorcycles, cars, buses, planes or by boat, millions of Indonesians are travelling to their hometowns in the annual Eid holiday exodus that is expected to peak by Thursday.

Major seaports and toll roads are packed, while airports and bus terminals are also full of travelers looking forward to reuniting with their families.

Some 18 million people are forecast to leave the Greater Jakarta area alone, enduring hours of traffic or congested airports and seaports to celebrate the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan with families."I’m happy to meet my parents after quite a while and to be able to perform Eid prayer together," Muhammad Naufal Vadina told AFP by phone on Wednesday.

"We found out on Instagram that the Navy has a free 'mudik' program using a warship. It was our first time having such a journey," said 33-year-old passenger Nurul Febryanti.
