Gili Island Lombok
NO cars ! , NO motorbikes !
, NO worries . . . . !
Welcome to Gili Island Lombok,
The Gili Islands (Three Gilis) are an archipelago of
three small islands (Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili
Air), just off the northwest coast of Lombok, Indonesia.
The islands are a popular destination for Western
tourists looking for a remote island experience. Each
island has several very small resorts, usually
consisting of a small collection of huts for tourists,
and a restaurant. Most local inhabitants live on
Trawangan in a township stretching along its east side
just inland (which is also where most recent development
is taking place). Automobiles and motorized traffic are
prohibited on the islands by local ordinance, so the
preferred method of transportation is bicycle or the
horse-drawn carriage called a cidomo. Diving in and
around the Gilis is also popular due to the abundance of
fish life and attractive coral formations.
The name "Gili Islands" is a misnomer, because Gili
simply means "small island" in Sasak. As a result most
of the islands around the coast of Lombok have Gili in
their names, although confusion is averted by referring
(in English) to the other Gilis around the Lombok coast
by their proper names only.
