Lombok City Guide

Indonesia>Lombok
Lombok is a cultural crossroad, a gateway to east Indonesia, where diverse cultures meet and mix- The Sasak, Balinese Hindu and Arab Traders. The resulting blend is something Lombok calls its own. Here warm and friendly people share their culture and traditional and traditions with visitors from far and wide.

Lombok is where the transition from the western to the eastern Indonesian fauna and flora begins. The northern part of the island is mountainous and verdant with tall trees and shrubs covering the land. The south is arid and covered by savannas.

A must visit spot from waves swept beaches to fertile rice farm and Mount Rinjani, one of Indonesia's tallest mountains, Lombok's unspoiled landscape provide stunning backdrop to any holiday.

Lombok island has white virgin beaches, an age-old culture, separated by merely a narrow strait from Bali, it is only now being discovered as a tourist destination of exceptional charm. Have a swim or dip in the clear water of the rivers in Lombok Island; Jangkok, Dodokan and Babakan.
