Follow our footsteps in exploring Lombok. How to get to this astonishing island? Get a flight! Once you've arrived at Lombok International Airport, also known as Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport, you can watch this video and choose your favourite place to visit first. Experience different adventures at Gili Islands, a group of 3 islands: Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Gili Meno. Looking for a sweet honeymoon place? Go to Gili Meno. Care to go snorkelling and diving? Visit Gili Air. Craving for parties on magic mushrooms? Gili Trawangan would be your best shot! You can reach these islands by ferry from Lombok mainland for IDR 40K or by speed boat for IDR 350K - one way. Another option is by coming from Bali. You just need to pay IDR 500K in two ways. Meet the Sasak Tribe, living in the traditional village of Segenter. Its urban planning - the space layouting - has been known for many years. Their orderly laid-out houses are like a real estate environment. Moving on to Sembalun Village, a traditional Lombok village, located about 110 km from Mataram. The village is situated 1,156 meters above sea level, making it the closest area to Mount Rinjani. Being located in the volcanic area, the soil is very fertile. It is really helpful to maintain the vegetable production for the whole Island. Searching for accommodation? Prepare IDR 250K for 1 night. The best experience you can have here is tasting the local strawberries, with only an IDR 10K entry ticket for "all you can eat"!
Next, Malimbu Hill, the best place to watch the sunset. Although we didn't manage to catch the sunset, the view is still stunning! You will be amazed to see the images of the beaches nearby, including the most famous local beach, Senggigi. We made our way to Sunut Coast and Pink Beach, where we could finally catch Lombok's sunset. The road was still under construction, but it didn't diminish the wonderful view along the way. Go to Mandalika, located in Kuta, the south area, just 90 minutes away from Mataram and 1 hour from the airport. As you might know already, Mandalika was the location of MotoGP 2022. How exciting! If you are lucky enough, you will experience the local wedding ceremony. Enjoy the parade, like we did!
