Lombok
Lombok (1990 pop. 2,403,025) is an island in West Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. It is part of the chain of the Lesser Sunda Islands, with the Lombok Strait separating it from Bali to the west and the Alas Strait between it and Sumbawa to the east. It is roughly circular, with a "tail" to the southwest, about 70 km across and a total area of about 4,725 km² (1,825 sq mi). The administrative capital and largest city on the island is Mataram.
The Lombok Strait marks the passage of the biogeographical division between the fauna of the Indomalayan ecozone and the distinctly different fauna of Australasia that is known as the Wallace Line, for Alfred Russel Wallace, who first remarked upon the distinction between these two major biomes.
The island's topography is dominated by the centrally-located stratovolcano Mount Rinjani, which rises to 3,726 m (12,224 ft), making it the third-highest in Indonesia. The most recent eruption of Rinjani was in June-July, 1994. The volcano, and its sacred crater lake, Lake Segara Anak, are protected by a National Park established in 1997. The southern part of the island is a fertile plain where corn, rice, coffee, tobacco, and cotton are grown.
The island's inhabitants are 85% Sasak (a people, closely related to the Balinese, but mostly practising Islam), 10-15% Balinese, with the small remainder being Chinese, Arab, Javanese, and Sumbawanese.

I wish i had gone up their.
I arrived in Lombok in 2002 and left in 2004 and all that time i had seen so many beautiful parts of Lombok and Indonesia but never got to go up.I now regret that but i will never forget Lombok as i changed my life forever.
I met so many people and made many friends and i hope to return very soon.
What a spectacular part of the world.

I love reaching a summit...it's feeling of accomplishment...i can't find anywhere else...but more than that it's being able to see...the other ones that want to be climbed...

It's not only reaching summit what make it beautiful, our nakedness and small feeling before nature also is.. n yes, I recommend Rinjani and Semeru as the best choices to go..
