Described by some as the Bali of twenty years ago, Lombok
is much more than that, having a unique culture which
blends Balinese and Sasak traditions in warm and friendly
environment. Lombok is uncommercialized with small tourist
developments on the west and south coast, providing a
laid-back and unhurried atmosphere for those seeking a
truly relaxing holiday. It is an island of beautiful deserted
beaches, lush tropical forests and waterfalls amid undulating
mountains. The volcano, Mt Rinjani dominates the inland
view while Bali's Mt. Agung is clearly visible across
the straits. The island of Lombok is a voyage of discovery,
an idyllic holiday adventure. Travelers find an unspoiled
tropical paradise so rare in today's crowded world.
The two major ethnicities in Lombok are the Balinese
and the Sasaks. Bugis and Javanese also contribute to
the growth of a unique cultural tradition of Lombok.
Hinduism is the primary religion embraced by the Balinese,
while Moslem is the predominant religion of the Sasaks.
People mostly live on agriculture, and corn and sago
are the primary staple. The growth of tourism supports
the small and home industries of rattan and bamboo handicrafts,
terracotta, and ikat cloth.
