When to go to Lombok?

White sand and turquoise water run from the cliffs of Kuta to the wide bay of Tanjung Aan, and the crowds thin the further you walk. Climbing Rinjani, 3,726 m of misty forest and bare crater rim, repays every step with a view over the whole island. Boats reach the Gili islands in minutes; inland, Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep fall through green slopes.
