LOMBOK
– NUSA TENGGARA BARAT
The
crystalline waters of the Lombok Strait separate the island of Lombok
from its neighbor Bali. For experienced travelers, Lombok will seem a
throwback to Bali's halcyon days - reminiscent, indeed, of that
island some 30 years ago, before globalization brought a steady
stream of development to its shores. Like its neighbor, Lombok is
renowned for its traditional craft villages. Artisans produce the
exquisite brocaded cloth called songket, elegant woodcarvings, and
superb pottery made from local hillside clays. The island also
possesses great natural beauty, from the dramatic rice terraces and
plantations of the south to the tropical rain and cloud forests of
the north. Lombok is home to Mt. Rinjani, Indonesia's second highest
peak, a magnificent volcano soaring over 12,000 feet above sea
level.
The Lombok Strait is part of the Wallace Line - a major eco-geographical boundary separating the flora and fauna of East Indonesia and Australia from West Indonesia. Many species found on Lombok, for example, are not found on neighboring Bali, just 20 miles away across the strait.
