Unforgetable Vacation To Lombok Island

Making Nice and Cheap Vacation

It located 54 kilometers to the east of Bali lies the Island of Lombok. Though relatively new to tourism Lombok is fast emerging as one of Indonesia’s best kept secrets.

The friendly people of Lombok include Sasak villagers , some still living in traditional villages with mud and thatch huts , still virtually untouched by western influences, while the cities of Mataram and the Dutch-influenced Ampenan are bustling little towns.

Resort beaches of Senggigi or Kuta cater for travelers looking for peaceful beaches and a more relaxing pace.

The famous Gili Islands are a diver’s paradise while the rugged countryside and in particular the awesome Mount Rinjani or Tetebatu offer some fabulous trekking and beautiful scenery for the more adventurous.

Lombok is also becoming known as a shoppers paradise, being the home of the now famous Lombok pots. The island also offers tightly woven baskets and silk weaving at prices you wont believe.

Whether you get a car or motorbike and drive yourself, or let our experienced guides show you the way, you’ll find an island of natural beauty, friendly people and areas still waiting to be explored without the hordes of tourists which visit its more famous neighbor.
