Gili Lombok Information

The word "Gili" actually means small island and so these islands have come be known as " The Gilis " by travellers, who have long considered them to be at least equel to the appeal of Thailand's and india's south coast.

The Gilis have sparse vegetation and rainfall, and it can seem much hotter than on the mainland. This means there is sunshine most days of the year, even when it's raining in lombok and Bali. Water is mainly drawn from wells or shipped from the maindland, so there is a need for conservation to preserve the limited resources. Be prepared for salty showers in most of the small hotels and home-stays, although the larger hotels and villas provide fresh water.

There are no cars or motorbikes on the Gili, and the main form of transport,apart from walking, is by horse and cart (locally called cidomo). There is a good restaurants, bars and accomodation on all Gili, with the biggest range on Gili Trawangan.Telephone and internet facilities are available, and most of the normal tourist amenities, although there are no banks and only the larger hotels accept credit cards. Moneychangers excange at a slightly lower rate than the main laind, so it's wise to change your money befor going.
