Lombok is surrounded by a number of smaller islands locally called Gili
The island is home to some 3.16 million Indonesians
Lombok island lies east of it’s more famous and glamorous neighbor, Bali
Roughly the same size as Bali, Lombok is much quieter, laid-back and less developed than bustling Bali

The Gili Islands 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
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 popular due to the abundance of fish life and attractive coral formations
