Lombok Island is a tropical paradise with magnificent stretches of
natural beach, excellent diving and snorkelling off the three coral-
ringed Gili Islands and traditional native villages, ancient temples
and palaces. Mount Rinjani dominates Lombok with its high peak and two-
mile wide caldera which last erupted in 1901. In the crater is a lake
called Segara Anak (Child of the Sea) and a new mountain christened
Gunung Baru which appeared in 1942. The people of Lombok are a gentle
mix of Hindu-Balinese and native Moslem-Sasaks, each with their own
variety of arts, crafts, customs and traditions. Many say that Lombok
is like the Bali of long ago. The island lies across the straits from
Bali and is quickly reached by ferry or plane.

Mt. Rinjani Once in Lombok, you can enjoy the peace and tranquility
along its shores, or explore the island's largest towns of Ampenan,
Mataram and Cakranegara. If you are fit you can trek up Mount Rinjani
through scenic countryside and picturesque traditional villages and
treat yourself to the most spectacular panoramic views.

The countryside has a number of traditional villages worth visiting,
including a blacksmith's village, a native weaving village with dome-
shaped thatched huts, and the royal water garden of Narmada in which
stands the Pura Lingsar, the oldest and most sacred Hindu temple on
the island, thought to be the only Hindu shrine in the world where
both Hindus and Moslems come to worship.

Famous for its 'ikat' hand-woven textiles, Lombok is relatively
undiscovered, except for the town of Senggigi which is now a major
resort.

The beautiful Gili islands of Lombok are paradise, with white sand
beaches, few people and some great snorkeling and diving spots.
Nightlife in this area may be a good alternative or even for a night
dive; others are a complete escape from the crowds and offer some
fabulous trekking and beautiful panorama for the more adventurous.

As well as scenery, Lombok offers terrific sightseeing and shopping,
with some villages producing famous Lombok pottery and silk weaving at
reasonable prices. Whether you get the car or motorbike and drive
yourself, or arrange for a driver to show you the way, you will find a
country with little influence yet from modern development and tourism.
Even on the road, the bulk to traffic is the cidomo, or horse and
cart.
