Visiting Taman Wisata Pusuk in Sembalun was a breathtaking experience. The journey to the viewpoint offered stunning views of the lush mountains and the charming town below. Standing atop the ridge, I was mesmerized by the panoramic vistas that stretched as far as the eye could see. The vibrant green hills and the patchwork of fields created a picturesque landscape. It was a perfect spot for photography and reflection, allowing me to appreciate the natural beauty of Lombok. This hidden gem is a must-visit for anyone seeking tranquility and stunning scenery. #traveldiaries #indonesia #indonesiatrip #lombok

Pink Beach in South Lombok was a stunning experience. The sand really had a soft pink hue, created by crushed coral mixed with white sand, making it feel like a hidden paradise. The water was crystal clear, perfect for snorkeling and spotting vibrant marine life. The beach was relatively quiet, offering a peaceful atmosphere. The surrounding cliffs and hills provided a beautiful backdrop, and a short hike up gave an incredible panoramic view of the coastline. It was an unforgettable spot, where nature’s colors came together in such a unique and mesmerizing way. #indonesiatrip #lombok #indonesia #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

#indonesiatrip Lombok Island, situated just east of Bali, offers a serene and captivating alternative to its more famous neighbor. Known for its pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and lush landscapes, Lombok is a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. One of the island's highlights is Mount Rinjani, Indonesia's second-highest volcano, which offers challenging yet rewarding trekking opportunities. The ascent to its summit provides stunning panoramic views and the chance to explore crater lakes and hot springs along the way. For beach enthusiasts, the Gili Islands off Lombok's northwest coast are a haven of white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters ideal for snorkeling and diving. Each of the three islands—Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Gili Meno—has its own unique charm, ranging from vibrant nightlife to secluded tranquility. Lombok's indigenous culture is also a draw, with traditional Sasak villages offering insight into local customs and crafts such as weaving and pottery. The island's culinary scene is rich and diverse, with fresh seafood and traditional Sasak dishes that tantalize the taste buds. Whether you seek adventure, relaxation, or cultural immersion, Lombok Island promises a memorable and enchanting experience, away from the crowds yet brimming with natural beauty and cultural richness.

#beachlife Beautiful beach. We can do various activities here, such as fishing, swimming, jogging and even just sitting quietly while enjoying the beautiful beach and a bottle of cold drink can be something extraordinary here. Not to mention the activity of local residents landing boats after returning from fishing is a sight in itself. I recommend not coming here in summer, a bit of green scenery in summer!

Amazing beach with scenic view. The coastline is quite long and has white sand. On the right side of the beach there are hills with corn plants. You can hike and enjoy the beautiful scenery around. For swimming at the beach it seems less recommended. Because the beach is rocky and the waves are sometimes big. But don't worry, there are lots of cool photo spots here. Especially the small "turtle" shaped dyke which is the hallmark of this beach. The beach atmosphere is quite calm and comfortable. If the weekend is rather crowded. #exploreasia

The atmosphere is serene with a view of the open sea. Highly recommended for holidays and hang out. The facilities are well maintained and the roads are very wide. To enter this place is free, only I pay for parking. The location is very strategic, there are many hotels around this beach. However, the convenience is a little disturbed because many traders offer their wares by following along. But overall is very good. Semova in the future can be managed and developed even better. #exploreasia

#wecreate Kuta Beach, Lombok, is vastly different to it’s more famous namesake on the Island of Bali. It still retains the charm of a small village, just venturing into the wild world of international tourism. Getting there was not that easy. I went across on a fast ferry from Bali, and hired an overpriced scooter motorbike. A few hours travel down south and I arrived. The beach was beautiful. Warm water and gritty yellow sand, and, of course, plenty of people around to sell you a drink or snack. If you like surfing or diving, this is a great place to visit…or even if you just like a quiet pace to life. In the evening the town shuts down, with little late-night activity. The restaurants are plentiful, and within an hour or two are some great locations to go exploring. #mytripvlog#tripblazers#awesomepic#summervacation#2023travelwish

I have never regretted a sunset! one of the best I ever saw was in Kuta, south Lombok. Tanjung Aan is an easy scooter ride from the main town of Kuta and well signposted. It is very popular with tourists and locals so get there early to secure a good position! You will also pass vendors selling snacks and drinks so it is a good place for a date. Perhaps bring your own food and eat h the sun set over the horizon! #lombok #indonesia

One of the best hotels I stayed in on my travels in Indonesia was at Jeeva Klui resort. It is located near Sengiggi beach on the west side of Lombok. Its private beach is ideal to watch the sun rise and set, and the hotel has a stunning infinity pool to help you secure those Instagram pictures. The staff are friendly and even remember your names which is a great touch! #indonesia #lombok

Fine Seruni Tourism is a tourist destination built on a river where initially the place was a garbage and industrial waste disposal site.Fine Seruni is taken from the name of a beautiful princess who is a legend from the village of Seruni Mumbul.This name is very appropriate to describe the swamps that have now turned into beautiful tourist spots.Apart from offering beautiful views of the swamp, there is also a unique tree house that you must climb because the view from the top of this tree house is so beautiful. Not only that,the best photo spots are also available, such as the heart spot to the spot for umbrellas made of straw.

This lake is called Blue Lake because the water is bluish green. This lake was formed due to the confluence of two rivers which flowed and collected into a large pond or lake.Its bluish color is the result of the presence of aquatic plants at the bottom, so it appears blue. Located in the Nuraksa protected forest area, this lake is even more special.Surrounded by big shady and green trees. Also far from vehicle and noise pollution. The location of this lake is in Central Lombok Regency, to be precise, Karang Sidemen Village,North Batukliang District and is 28 kilometers from the city of Praya, with a distance of 50 minutes.

Flash forward to Lombok next to bali One of the most profound itineraries must be bukit merese! Although it wasn't a particularly nice day that day but the view was super beautiful Walking up the mountain you can see the clear water There are still a lot of buffaloes eating grass here. It's super cute😍 The aerial photography is really beautiful recommend everyone to come!! 📍Bukit Merese Want to go to Iceland in 2023 🥰🥰 #2023TravelWish #OverseasTravel #ResidentWriter

#Beachfront accommodation Last night on Lombok Island, Java Sea, Indonesia. Today, I changed my accommodation to Sudamala Resort on Senggigi Beach, just like the hotel last night. This accommodation does not have many rooms, but it is a luxury resort. There are both private villas and single-storey building rooms. I slept in a normal room, but the design is separate, like sleeping in a villa. The room is very spacious, with complete facilities, including a sitting area in front of the room, a work desk, and an open-air bathroom. I like it very much. The main swimming pool is in the middle of the resort. There is a restaurant on one side with a pool view and another side with a sea view. In the morning, there are health activities on the seaside balcony, such as yoga, which is a free basic course for all guests. Breakfast is served as a set. They are very attentive. There are many types of jam to choose from, bread in a basket to choose from, tea, coffee, fruit, and others. You can choose from the menu. It is called making each dish and providing personal service. Sleeping in a beachfront accommodation is comfortable in a way. You don't have to go anywhere. You can swim, walk, and in the evening, go out to watch the sunset, sip cocktails or juice. You can say that you can stay in the resort all the time without getting bored. Next time will come again. Bye bye Lombok and Sudamala beautiful resort, Senggigi beach.

#Ho-kangs #Vacation #Bali travel The accommodation I booked in Gili was dirtier than I thought, so I moved to FRii Gili in a hurry🏨 The accommodations around the main street were already full, so I had no choice but to choose a quiet place on the opposite side, which was a godsend😉 I liked this place much better than the noisy main It has a private beach, a pool, and a restaurant, so it's completely comfortable and healing just by staying inside There are also many luxury resorts and restaurants nearby, and they even show movies on the nearby beach. I couldn't find such places on the blog. I found this hot place by chanceㅋㅋ The best part was the cost-effectiveness! It was a great deal at 30,000 won including breakfast🫢 In particular, I liked the outdoor bathroom the most The staff are all friendly, the breakfast is delicious, and it's different every time, so you can eat it without getting tired of it! 📍 FRii Gili

#Overseas travel #Bali #Hot place The best place in Bali, Gili Island🏝 The funny thing is that I met my Australian friend who I greeted at the beach club again by chance here~ I guess travel destinations are travel destinations after allㅋㅋ But the friend who recognized me first was so amazing😮 It's a narrow place, but it's even more charming because it's narrow! In particular, Gili Twanglawan is famous as the filming location of Yoon's Kitchen but the filming location is a bit further up than the main street. The main street has many restaurants and lots to see, but I moved to a place on the complete opposite side, close to the filming location of Yoon's Kitchen. Moving the accommodation was a total stroke of genius! I was able to enjoy the peacefulness of Gili Island even more🥰

Visit Mount Rinjani is one of the most famous and beautiful mountain in Indonesia. Mount Rinjani is an active volcano on the island of Lombok. Administratively the mountain is in the Regency of North Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. It rises to 3,726 metres, making it the second highest volcano in Indonesia. It is also the highest point in the Indonesian province of West Nusa Tenggara. The climb to the top may not be easy but it’s worth it, and is widely regarded as one of the best views in the country. #spooktaculartrip #lombok #indonesia #airasia #travel #treking #extreme #urbanexplorer #nationalpark #bucklist

Getting There - boat at Lombok and Bali Attractions - nice clear blue waters full of turtles for snorkel , dive , surf and paddle boarding . The view when you cycle around the island is spectacular, can be done in 30 minutes . However, beware of horse carts driving tourists around the island . Hotels - ranging from resorts to home stay (your own preferences) Food & Restaurants - Cheap and fresh seafood BQQ . Island has many restaurants with different international and fusion cuisines too. Shopping - art works and snorkelling gears all over the island.#beachlife #mytripvlog #bucketlistreboot

These were the only swings I found left on the island still standing in the ocean. If you wake up early enough, most of the island is still asleep. We took advantage and decided to dip in the sea with no one around. we had the entire beach to ourselves. The view of the sunrise was gorgeous and consuming as it changed colors from grey to pink and purple hues. Throughout the morning, the sky turned bluer and clouds started to form over the nearby mountains across the sea. This is definitely a sight to see. These pair of swings are on the northwest side of the island. #gilitrawangan #gili #gili #gilisland #island #sunrise #noonearound #skinnydip #skinnydipping #ocean #javasea #sea #beach #swing #giliswing

Pink beach of Lombok A very stunning beach with natural pink sand. The clarity of the sea water that is not polluted with garbage on the bottom. The right time to visit because there are no visitors at all. It might be more suitable to visit it in the evening. But the afternoon also did not disappoint. Just a bit hot!! There are two different beaches. The journey to the first beach is quite challenging due to the unpaved road conditions. However, the view presented makes the trip very worthwhile. Suitable if visited using four-wheel drive or motorbike only. Huts are available for rest or picnics... #awesomepic

This is Sembalun Village, East Lombok, Indonesia. Located on the steep slopes of Mount Rinjani. It gets very cold at night but as soon as the sun comes out, a magnificient scenery is revealed. One of the best panorama walk attractions in Lombok. Ps: You also can explore the farm and taste the fresh fruits like strawberry and apple. #lombokiloveyou

1. Scuba diving by boat in Gili Trawangan Island, Indonesia Address: Gili Indah, Pemenang, North Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia Key Point: You can go scuba diving by boat in Gili Trawangan Island. The day I went, the visibility was good, so I saw a lot of turtles and sharks. Rating: 5/5 2. West Beach of Gili Trawangan Island, Indonesia Key Point: The sunset is beautiful on the west beach, and you can relax on the beach while drinking cocktails and beer. Rating: 4/5 3. East Beach of Gili Trawangan Island You can see the sunrise and the sun rise in the morning, and there are quiet places, but most places are busy and crowded. Key Point: There are many places to eat. Restaurants, cafes, and night markets. Rating: 4/5 #SummerIwaSummer #Vacation #OverseasTravel #Indonesia #GiliTrawangan #ScubaDiving #IslandTravel

How to get there: There are two ways to get to Gili Trawangan Island: taking a fast boat from Bali and taking a boat from Lombok. Gili Indah, Pemenang, Kebupaten Lombok Utara, Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia Attractions: ferry terminal, night market, filming location of Yoon's Restaurant Hotel: Samba villas Recommended food & restaurants: Vegan chocolate fudge cake, Asahi Bowl, vegan cafe, night market, seafood, satae Shopping information: night market, seafood, BBQ Corn, coconut Gili Trawangan, one of the islands in Indonesia. It seems to have started to be known in Korea as the filming location of Yoon's Restaurant. Before, it was not developed much, but now it has become an active tourist destination. To protect the environment, the only means of transportation here are bicycles and horse-drawn carriages. I think it is one of the ways to reduce carbon emissions. Since it is a small island, it was fun to ride a bicycle halfway around. I think it would be nice to ride a full circle. The sunset was beautiful, so I watched the sunset while drinking cocktails on the west beach, and while riding my bike, I saw the forest and trees, and when I passed by a place with little light, there were a lot of stars in the night sky. #vacation #Bali #GiliTrawangan #GiliIsland #BaliTravel #Indonesia #IndonesiaTravel
