Perhaps many emerging new tourist sites around the island of Lombok, but the charm of the three Gili - Trawangan, Meno and Air - remains undiminished. Small islands on the northwest coast of Lombok is still a major tourist destination for both domestic and foreign travelers.
Not hard to fall in love with these islands because of the combination of extraordinary natural beauty and the holiday atmosphere is very thick. Dyke itself in Sasak language means a small island, so do not be surprised if many other small islands are also called a dyke, for example Nanggu Gili, Gili screen, and so forth.
Gili Trawangan is the third largest island of this dyke. This is where the tourists usually choose your accommodation, because it is widely available accommodation ranging from very cheap to luxury resorts. Many locals also rent out rooms in their homes.
Gili Meno and Gili Air are smaller and are perfect for those who want another setting more quiet and private. These islands have white sandy beaches are quiet and beautiful. May be an option for those who want a honeymoon.
Why Three Gili very popular among tourists? Many say the natural beauty of Lombok is not inferior to Bali, the beaches are cleaner. In the small islands of this lovely travelers can do a variety of activities, including diving, snorkeling, or just lazing on the beach while enjoying the sunset.
One advantage here is on vacation you can escape from the bustling big city atmosphere and full of pollution. Even in Gili Trawangan is the largest island with a fairly complete facilities, are prohibited from operating a motor vehicle. Therefore you will not be disturbed by the noise of motorcycles and cars.
To get around Gili Trawangan, you can walk, or use a local vehicle, the cart horse called cidomo.
During the day is usually used by tourists for diving or snorkeling in the sea around the island is beautiful. Coral reefs are faceted with various species of sea and crystal clear sea water makes the tourists always want to come back. In Gili Trawangan there are also several dive operators who provide certified courses.
Here also are many available boats with glass floors so you do not want to throw themselves in the water can still enjoy the beauty beneath the sea waters around a third of this dyke.
Afternoon and evening is the time to relax. Sitting on a pillow at the seaside cafes while enjoying the sound waves and the smell of sea water. For those of you who want a night of "life," Gili Trawangan should be your choice. On this island are many cafes and bars are visited by foreign tourists until after midnight.
In fact, Indonesia is sometimes difficult to find food, because most of the West provides a menu.
There are several ways leading to these islands. When you combine it with travel to Bali, you can go directly to Gili Trawangan from Bali - either by speed boat or vessel which is slower. Meanwhile, if you fly to the island of Lombok, there are several tour operators who can assist you with ground transportation from the airport and provide a boat to cross over to Gili Trawangan.
The cheapest way is with a traditional wooden boat from the ward, a small dock. At that time I chose a motorcycle taxi from the airport to the ward as the least expensive, but of course you can opt for a more convenient means of transportation such as rental car or taxi.
