Where is Lombok North?
Lombok is an island in West Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. It forms part of the chain of the Lesser Sunda Islands, with the Lombok Strait separating it from Bali to the west and the Alas Strait between it and Sumbawa to the east. Lombok is basically next door to Bali.
The north coast of Lombok is a great place to visit for people who enjoy nature and the outdoors. Gunung Rinjani rises to 3726 meters and sits centrally in North Lombok, its slopes giving rise to rivers and streams flowing to the north coast.
Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air are 20 minutes from North West Lombok.

How to get there?
Lombok is very accessible by air, with daily flights to/from Denpasar, Lombok International Airport (www.lombok-airport.co.id) is near Praya.
Public ferries connect Lembar on Lombok’s west coast with Bali. Fast-boat companies link Lombok with the Gili Islands and Bali. These are centred on Bangsal.
There are direct buses from Denpasar on Bali that connect to the Padangbai–Lembar ferry and then continue on to the Mandalika Terminal in Mataram.
If you wish to head straight to one of the Islands (Gilis) off Lombok from Bali, then it's best to organise a ticket for the fast boat, which will include your hotel pick up and the boat from Padang-Bai harbour.
