Gili Trawangan

Gili Trawangan Beach

Gili Trawangan

Gili Islands are an archipelago of 3 islands by the north of Lombok. There are 3 Gilis, Gili Trawangan (the biggest, the comfortest), Gili Meno (Seaweed farm, Salt plantation, Bird sanctuary), Gili Air (Scuba paradise, the quietest). you can just take a public transport (you can find it around Mataram & Senggigi, a big car which carries lots of people; but do not ever take a taxi, if you are in limit budget). 

my trip to Gili was short, we both, Sigit & me rode bike, with another shortcut, we rode along the Trucuk Rain forest, where you can have in touch with friendly monkeys.

the road will lead you to Bangsal, a small port that delivers you to Gilis. 1 ticket costs 10.000 IDR to Gili Trawangan, and after you landed safely, you need to check in to a security office on the island. 

Never hesitate to check the room price first, cause closer you are to the beach, it will always require extra money. 

Hotels here aren't quite like ordinary hotels, they're quite like Villa and Bungalows, and most of them are owned by foreigners (so if you're local, you might not suit in).

there are plenty Restaurants in Gili Trawangan with lots of choices (western, oriental, sea food, middle east etc) and even you can find some Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) in this part of island, so you won't find any troubles with funds. 

A trip around this island by foot will only take less than 60 minutes, but there are also bicycle rent, horse ride and no bikes or cars. 

it is a joyful sunset & sunrise with a great beach. just throw yourself with the others visitors, cause they come from anywhere (US, Aussie, Italian, Russian, Dutch, German, Swedish, French and even from Africa).  just like you were stranded in the middle of nowhere with people who never ever saw your face, well just blend, it's a paradise though, your holiday...
