Get the lowdown on Bali’s beautiful neighbour on an eight-day tropical adventure in Lombok. Spend time in rural communities, meet lots of locals and discover the fascinating Sasak culture through their food, music, home industry and local crafts. From the laidback vibes of Labuan Pandan and the idyllic Gili, you’ll be lazing beachside in no time on one of Indonesia’s most pristine islands. With all the organising taken care of, just sit back and relax on the crystal-clear waters of the Bali Sea, feast on the array of fresh seafood and enjoy the friendliness of the locals as they welcome you to their slice of paradise. Part of travelling with Intrepid means respecting local cultures and sensibilities. That way you get the most out of your interactions with local people and environments. Lombok is more conservative than Bali, so it's best to dress conservatively while you're there, particularly in smaller towns and during village walks.Walking in the village of Tetebatu is on relatively flat ground, but the terrain can be steep and, at times, slippery or muddy.The snorkelling trip off the east coast of Lombok is a great chance to witness the sealife, but bear in mind you'll need to be a confident swimmer to partake in this activity.Our accommodation on the east coast of Lombok is remote, and away from the main town. Our simple bungalows and beachside location allow a great chance to unwind and enjoy the slow pace in this slice of paradise.This trip is part of a longer itinerary.
