Geography
&
Climate
Lombok
island
is
located
east
of
Bali.
Lombok
geographically
is
almost
the
same
size
as
Bali
and,
just
as
there
are
popular
tourist
areas
on
Bali,
so
Lombok
offers
a
variety
of
destinations
to
suit
different
holidaymakers'
tastes.
Tropical
climate
with
warm
and
humid
weather
all
year
round.

from
21
Celsius
to
32
Celsius.
Wet
season
starts
from
November
to
May
and
dry
season
start
from
May-October.
The
best
time
to
come
is
in
the
month
of
May
when
the
weather
is
just
perfect
with
bright
daylight
and
green
scenery. |

People
&
Religion
Population
is
about
2,5
million.
The
local
inhabitants
of
Lombok
are
called
Sasaks
who
make
up
70%
of
the
population
are
the
predominant
group
with
Balinese,
Chinese,
Arabian,
and
Javanese
and
other
ethnics
groups
making
up
the
rest.
Bahasa
Indonesia
is
the
National
Language,
but
English
is
widely
spoken.
Lombok
has
three
main
districts
with
three
capital
cities:
Mataram
in
the
west,

in
east
Lombok.
The

in
west
Lombok.
Islam
is
the
majority
religion,
but
all
other
religions
are
practiced
freely.
Every
Friday
around
12.30
noon,
Muslims
go
to
the
mosques
just
like
Christians
go
to
church
on
Sunday. |

Getting
There
&
Away
Lombok
and

West
Nusa
Tenggara
(Nusa
Tenggara
refers
to
the
islands
east
of
Bali)
offer
a
charming
variety
of
landscapes,
place
of
interest
and
activities
for
the
tourist.

Gillis;
Trawangan,
Meno,
and
Air,
Gilli
Nanggu,
Moyo
Island)
and
coastlines
lined
with
pristine
beaches
and
fabulous
waters
for
swimming,
sun
baking,
sailing,
surfing,
fishing
and
underwater
activities
await. |
|
|
|
By
Plane
There
are
regular
daily
flights
from
Bali,
Jakarta,
Surabaya,
Sumbawa,
Bima
and
from
Singapore.
Merpati
Nusantara
Airlines,
Trigana
Air
and
Indonesia
Air
Transport
serves
daily
flights
from
Bali
to
Lombok
(roundtrip).
Effective
April
1st
-
onward,

By
Public
Ferry
from
Bali
Alternative
way
to
reach
Lombok
from
Bali
is
by
sea.
The
cheapest
mode
of
transportation
from
Bali
to
Lombok
(vice
versa)
is
by
Public
Ferry.
Public
Ferry
service
departs
from
Padang
Bai
(East
Bali)
to
Lembar
(West
Lombok)
every
2
hours,
operating
24
hours
carrying
passengers
goods
and
vehicles.
These
ferries
are
quite
basic
and
slow,
taking
between
4-5
hours
for
the
crossing.
While
they
are
cheap,
it
can
cost
quite
a
bit
extra
to
get
to
Padangbai
so
its
worth
comparing
all
alternatives. |

By
Fast
Boat
There
are
new
private
fast
boats
operates
serving
Bali
-
Lombok
-
Gili
Islands;
Blue
Water
Express
(Benoa
-
Teluk
Nare
&
Gili
Islands)
or
Gili
Cat
Fastboat
and
Eka
Jaya
(Padangbay
-
Teluk
Nare
&
Gili
islands).
This
fast
boat
service
only
carry
passengers
with
limited
seats
available.
Pregnant
women
and
child
under
2
years
old
are
not
recommended
to
go
with
these
fast
boats.
The
Fast
Boats
using
standard
safety
for
passengers,
making
the
sea
transfer
more
efficient,
comfortable
and
safe.
The
fast
boat's
fare
is
quite
expensive
(almost
doubled
compare
to
flying),
but
if
your
destination
is
Gili
Trawangan,
then
it's
quite
reasonable. |

By
Shuttle
Bus
Most
travelers
tend
to
take
the
tourist
shuttle
service
from
Bali
which
includes
transfers
to
and
from
the
harbors
to
the
destination
of
their
choice.
These
shuttles
charge
an
all
inclusive
price
and
vary
depending
on
your
start
point
in
Bali
&
destination
in
Lombok.
Unfortunately
the
vehicle/s
used
are
often
very
old.
If
you
travel
with
kids,
we
do
not
recommend
to
use
this
shuttle
service
as
you'll
be
crammed
into
hot
and
stuffy
minibus
with
no
air-con
or
curtain
to
shade
you
from
the
noon
sun. |
