This Is Where Paradise Begins

LOMBOK The word Lombok comes from the Indonesian word for Chilli. Slightly smaller than Bali, Lombok measures 4739 sq km and is therefore, virtually impossible to circumnavigate in one day. There are a wide variety of topographical features and microclimates on the island which, although close to Bali and the other islands of Indonesia, make it quite unique. Pert of the reason for this is the Wallace Line, which separates Asia and Australia start from east of Bali and Lombok and goes up north to east. Thus on Lombok many species of fauna and flora one comes across are also found in parts of Australia. Lombok Island is only a 15-minute flight (or a ferry trip) from Bali, The island possesses one of the highest volcanic mountains in the Indonesian archipelago, Mount Rindjani, whose cloud-piercing peak soars to 3745m (12,290ft).
