Where
Bali and Lombok are the 2 most visited islands by tourists. Bali is of course number one and is world famous for its sawas and the large number of Hindu temples. Religious ceremonies are colourful and you will always find one during your trip. Between Bali and Lombok, there are three well-known Gili Islands; Trawangan, Meno and Air. The islands are often combined in a trip with Bali and Lombok. A perfect and very relaxing stopover. Lombok is often called the little sister of Bali. A large part of the island is occupied by the Rinjani volcano. On the flanks of the volcano, you will find beautiful green sawas. On the west and south side of Lombok, you have other, lesser known Gili Islands. Some are real gems. Gili Asahan is one of them.
