To the east of the island of Bali, Indonesia, the island Lombok is
situated. On Lombok's south coast the small fishing village Kuta-Lombok
is located. Completely different to the 'big sister' Kuta in Bali, Kuta-Lombok
appears as a small original village. The name Lombok means chilli. And
chilli can be found all around on bushes, on the market place and in
the warungs, the small local cookshops, which are really worth to attend.
Sasak people, the original inhabitants and their villages you can visit
in Rambitan Village and Sade Village, were their traditional houses
and storehouses for rice can be found.
Starting from Kuta-Lombok trips to the pottery village Penunjak and
to the weaving village Sukarare can be done. During raining season between
November and March Lombok appears quite green with it's many ricefields.
Around the volcano Rinjani you can find green rice fields and tobacco
plants all the year round. There are several waterfalls in the area
of Rinjani which are worth to visit.

sandy, lonely and gorgeous beaches. And Kuta-Lombok is a popular destination
for surfers from all over the world.
