For my last few weeks in Indonesia this time around I decided to set foot on Lombok, an island situated in the West Nusa Tenggara province of Indonesia which is home to round about 4 million inhabitants. Here, the rhythm is different to the previous destinations I visited in Indonesia. With a predominantly Muslim population, this serene island, away from the bustling thoroughfares awaits with natural splendor...but the rising tide of tourism is beginning to re-shape the island. This Lombok documentary aims to show the diversity of this island covering the historic and religious background, explaining the cultural roots as well as the natural and man made sights.

This Lombok Travel Documentary is the third part of a Documentary Series called „Indonesia is not only Bali“. While many visitors mainly focus on Bali alone, Indonesia with its more than 17,000 islands offers a wealth of incredible destinations each with its unique charm and attractions.

Therefore my plan was to visit a number of different destinations to showcase the diversity of the country to the best of my ability. In this episode I’ll be embarking on a solo roadtrip adventure all around the island of Lombok with a tiny scooter and a surfboard to show you some more hidden gems, proving that there is so much more to this enchanting archipelago. In a few short years, Kuta has changed from a sleepy seaside village into the main focus of tourism development in Lombok

In order to show you the whole diversity of Indonesia I tried to cover the majority of sights in this Lombok Documentary from the south over the West, north to the east as well as the volcanos and waterfalls in the center of Lombok.

You can use this Lombok Documentary to plan your own trip to Lombok, on my website you’ll find all essential information needed.
