East Lombok

East Lombok

Most travellers see of Lombok's east coast is Labuhan Lombok, the port for ferries to Sumbawa. But the East of Lombok has so much more to offer. East Lombok is lush and less developed than the western part of the island, allowing you to peek into a rural part of Indonesia. From Labhuan you can charter a boat to Gili Sulat or Gili Pentangan, which are both typical bounty islands with good coral for snorkelling
South Lombok

South Lombok

The central inland part of South Lombok is generally low-lying with undulating hills and is commonly utilised for rice paddies and growing tobacco leaf. Toward the southern coast it is dryer and more denuded with some undulating hilly areas of between 100 to 355 meters above sea level. The south of the island is not heavily populated and many areas are quite remote and can be quite difficult to get to. The southern areas of Lombok are becoming increasingly popular with international visitors and the surf beaches of the southern coastline are popular with more intrepid international surfers as well as a growing number of local people on Lombok.

Kuta
Kuta Lombok, not to be confused with Kuta Bali, this small village on the coast of South Lombok offers white sandy beaches and an oase of peace compared to Bali
Mount Rinjani
Mount Rinjani is one of the most famous volcano's in Indonesia and a true bucket list experience for active backpackers and adventure seekers. On the top of the volcano is a 6-by-8.5-kilometre caldera, which is filled partially by the crater lake known as Anak Laut (Child of the Sea), due to the color of its water, as blue as the sea. This lake is approximately 2,000 metres above sea level and estimated to be about 200 metres deep.
Gili Trawangan

A true paradise island with white sandy beaches and motorized vehicles are forbidden on this island, which ensures that people either use a bicycle, horse carriage or just walk around.
