Lombok
Bali's quieter eastern neighbor is a volcanic island of white sand beaches, sacred rice paddy terraces, and the 3,726m summit of Gunung Rinjani — the most spiritual volcano in Indonesia. The Gili Islands (Trawangan, Air, Meno) off the northwest coast offer some of the best snorkeling and sea turtle encounters in Southeast Asia, without Bali's crowds.
