Island Of Lombok: Travel Guide

The island of Lombok is situated close to Bali, but unlike its overcrowded neighbour, Lombok is relatively quiet, peaceful and as yet undiscovered by the hordes of tourists who hit Bali every season. Lombok is best known for its beautiful countryside, its pristine white beaches and its impressive volcano- Mount Rinjani- that virtually dominates the landscape and is one of the most popular tourist sights on the island. Lombok’s tourist infrastructure isn’t as well developed as that of Bali, mainly because the island itself is less developed; you won’t see too many tourists, but even this is bound to change over the coming years, as more and more people discover the beauty of this quiet little island.
