5 things you should see on Lombok Than Bali

Lombok – an island east of Bali, yet less well known than its neighbor. While consistently a large number of travelers are pulled in to Bali, numerous spots on Lombok are as yet untouched. Here mass tourism is as yet obscure. 
Lombok offers numerous exhaust and regularly detached dream shorelines, benevolent and intriguing individuals, delectable sustenance and awesome nature. This year, after a stay of over two months, Lombok and the Gili islands turned into my undisputed top choices – in any event up until now. 

In this article you will locate a couple of must-sees on Lombok. 

The Gili islands 
3 heaven islands – which appear to be small contrasted with Lombok – are found just 20 minutes away by pontoon: Gili Trawangan, the primary island, Gili Meno and Gili Air. 

The Gilis are exceptionally prevalent for scuba plunging and swimming yet additionally to relax, swimming and celebrating. Hikers and vacationers visit particularly Gili Trawangan frequently. Here you can feel the vivacious reggae-ganja-enchantment mushroom-vibe. 😉 The Gili islands are a MUST!!! 

The second most astounding abundance of Indonesia is unquestionably one of THE features of Lombok! You can book multi-day, guided visits to the Crater Lake and even to the best at all touristy spots. The photos represent themselves…

Senggigi 
Most vacationers touch base in Senggigi in light of the fact that numerous inns are situated here. It's likewise extraordinary for going out during the evening or eating. A standout amongst the most famous surf spots for local people and travelers alike is Senggigi Beach. 
At this shoreline the sellers and local people aren't pushy at everything except you can have a pleasant casual banter on the off chance that you like (for the most part about football since Indonesians adore football). 

To investigate this street alongside the drift it is best to utilize a bike, which you can lease for instance in Senggigi. One of the features is the perspective at Malimbu Hill 1 and 2. It offers a magnificent view over Malimbu and Nipah Beach and the 3 Gili Islands. Look at the other view focuses and shorelines that you can discover on along these lines also since they merit seeing, as well. 

On the off chance that you leave Lombok with general society vessels to the Gili Islands and would take a taxi from the air terminal or from Lembar (where people in general ship from Bali arrives) you will most likely utilize the extremely same street (or you tell the cabbie your favored course) since this street goes straightforwardly to Bangsal, where open water crafts are taking off. 

Pusuk Monkey Forest 

Taking a twisting street through a stunning mountain scene is the second choice to get to Bangsal. It's were you discover the supposed monkey woods, named after the various wild monkeys in the wilderness and close to the road. Nourish the ravenous and irritating little rats at the view focuses on the off chance that you like. 

Be that as it may, be watchful and search for your packs, rucksacks and such. You can go there by bike also, however dependably "Hati", like the Indonesian says.

Kuta 

After Senggigi, Kuta is presumably the second visitor hotspot on Lombok. It offers excellent shorelines too and loads of facilities and eateries. 

From here you can investigate the fantasy shorelines of Mawun, Tanjung Aan and Selong Belanak since they are near to (see beneath). Indeed, even Kuta Beach itself is justified regardless of a look. 

Presently I will present you some of my most loved shorelines of Lombok. One on the off chance that them is Mawun. 

Contingent upon the weekday and the time, this shoreline with its delicate white sand and turquoise water is still generally betrayed. Now and again the waves are heavier here. The shoreline is detached and found west of Kuta in a relatively encased straight, which you can undoubtedly reach with your bike too. 


I trust I once in a while observed such a wide and shallow shoreline like Selong Belanak elsewhere. You can impeccably surf or swim at this long shoreline. 

I unequivocally prescribe investigating the close perspective neglecting the shoreline and the cove. It's found somewhat north of Selong Belanak Beach. It's as yet an insiders' tip and you shouldn't miss it when you complete a bike visit. 

Turquoise ocean and white sand, the way I cherish it! Indeed, even here you can climb a stone to appreciate an amazing perspective over the two sounds and shorelines of Aan. An absolute necessity see! 

Pink Beach 
It's not by any means an insiders' tip any longer, yet at the same time worth a visit! The drive is very troublesome since as I would see it the lanes on the Ekas Peninsula (where the Pink Beach is found) can't be called boulevards any longer. In any event they are being enhanced a tiny bit at a time each year. In the event that you really influence it there, you to will be remunerated with a devastate calm shoreline. It is called after its pink sand that comprises out of coral. 
The view from the close perspective is heavenly too and the additionally worth seeing bluffs of Tanjung Ringgit are arranged close by. 
Mosques and Hindu sanctuaries 

Rather than Bali, Lombok and whatever remains of Indonesia are for the most part Muslim. That is the reason you can see and particularly hear mosques all over the place. On the off chance that you book your settlement ahead of time, you ought to educate yourself if it's firmly situated to a mosque. Particularly around Ramadan it could turn out to be exceptionally uproarious. 

Islamic Center in Mataram 
The Balinese minority on Lombok got its sanctuaries like Pura Meru, Pura Lingsar, Pura Narmada or Pura Batu Bolong too. 2 genuine insiders' tips are Pura Gunung Sari north of Mataram and Pura Suranadi. 

The majority of them are situated at the western piece of the island in and around Mataram/Cakranegara or Senggigi. 

Pura Suranadi, Lombok, Indonesia

Waterfalls 

Lombok got various waterfalls, for the most part in the northern piece of the island. Among others, there would be Tiu Teja, Tiu Kelep or Sendang Gile. In the focal point of Lombok you will locate a couple of not too bad ones too, for instance the Benang Kelambu, Benang Stokel or Jeruk Manis close Tetebatu. 

There is no fresher water than this! Drink it, swim or simply let the super cold dilute hail your back – eminent! 

 The Sasak are the indigenous individuals of this island, which today make around 85% of the aggregate populace of Lombok. Their way of life is intriguing and as a guest you certainly need to encounter it. 

Their sustenance known for its hotness, their workmanship, their music and moves, the common Sasak houses or a Sasak wedding with (outrageous uproarious) road parade with "Gendang Beleq" performers you have to involvement. There are bounty wedding parades on Lombok, particularly on the ends of the week. Must-see! 

Coincidentally, a considerable lot of the Lombok locals still talk the Sasak dialect, particularly the more established. Be that as it may, everybody talks and comprehends the official dialect Bahasa Indonesia. English just aides in vacationer spots.
