Travel to Lombok

Do you want to travel to Lombok? Lombok is a breathtaking island located West of Indonesia. If you know about the islands of Indonesia, then you should know that it is very near Bali. Bali and Lombok is simply separated by the Lombok strait and it has almost similar if not more untouched sceneries to offer.



Lombok Sights



Lombok is known for its breathtaking areas. One of these is its beaches which gives an air of paradise when you’re there. One of the most popular places is Tanjung A’an which is an area within the vicinity of Kuta Beach. Along the beach are people making a living with sarongs and coconuts which you can lavish as you feel the waves and enjoy the sun on your skin.



And if that is not enough, you can also visit the beautiful Narmada Park. This is a Hindu temple with a swimming pool. If you desire to relax in a harmonious air, then this is the location for you. Entrance is cheap which is only around Rp 10,000 for non-locals and Rp 4,000 for natives. If you came to Lombok to watch the people then this may be the best location to watch its locals interact with each other.



But if you desire to get in touch with Lombok’s culture, then the perfectlocation to be in is Desa Sukarana or Sukarana village. Here, you will see the people doing their weaving and you can even buy their products at a lower price compared with Sengigi.



Things to Do



Lombok is a perfect area to be one with nature. It is a perfect place for daring stuff such as surfing, scuba diving, trekking, biking and fishing. Aside from these, you can also kick back as you savor the sounds of nature. Native women provide massage services which is usually located within the vicinity of your accommodation.



Accomodations



You will find that a cheap hotel in Lombok is not hard to find. In fact, there are many of them in the place. Locations like Kuta have cheap hotels everywhere. This is the reason why the area is very famous with younger or eco-friendly crowds. Other areas where you can chance upon a cheap hotel in Lombok are in the Cakranegara or Sweta area. Hotel murah di Lombok is the best accommodation you can get in Lombok.



But if you are not searching for a cheap hotel, then you should go north of the airport around the Senggigi strip. There are also some classy hotels in Tanjung. You can also rent out villas with staff the same with Bali. These usually cost around 0-00 a night. But it is worth it if you want a place that is private.



If you are running out of ideas on where to stay, then you can use the Internet to search for a cheap hotel in Lombok. There are various websites which can show you the price range. This is great especially if you have a some amount of money in mind.



So if you want a different type of adventure or you simply want an escape from your job and be one with nature, then Lombok is the best location for you.

Bali Vacation Travel Ideas: Things to Do When Your Visit to Bali Island


If you may be one of many thousands of people who plan to go to see the wonderful island of Bali every year, maybe you would have had the great opportunity to tour Bali.



Like most tropical island destinations, Bali has numerous beautiful arrays of flowers and greenery you might imagine. If planting or flora and fauna are one of your favorite past periods, then perhaps the botanical gardens in Bedugul are generally the starting point on your trip, you could then move up to the North of Bali and witness amongst the pristine coastline that island of Bali has to offer.



While you tour Bali and its surrounds you will be impressed with the wonder of not only the genuine habitat but the beauty lovely yet sophisticated Balinese people hold. Bali locals people are nice, wise and hardworking. The islands primary income is sourced from tourism and the local economy depends on the tourist industry. Some people say that is why the Balinese people are so nice and warm and friendly, only to keep traveller happy. I however disagree with this, I really believe it is more of a case that the Bali locals people are raised in a manner that endorses harmony and a relatively stress free life.



With Bali being a fairly tiny island, you could tour Bali within a few days, although as you are traveling around this island, it is very likely that you will want to stop and stay quite a while in every single one of the places they visit. For the coffee enthusiasts, you will have the lots of chances to enjoy the quite strong coffee that the local persons drink every day. Most local people will likely consume their coffee very black and quite strong. If coffee is simply not your thing, you may most likely enjoy a freshly made fruit juice. The tropical small island provides some very tasty organic fruit and when you turn it into a juice the tastes are truly lovely. For those who have stopped to sight see, or maybe for a meal break, chances are that you are going to be overlooking one of the many fantastic rice fields or mountains that the small island has to offer and before you realize it, you will find yourself comforting and being relaxed right away.



If you choose to tour Bali you surely will witness firsthand the many various aspects
