Description
Discover your own journey. A trip to Bali, Lombok, and Nusa Tenggara can encompass far more than a single beach and hotel. This Lonely Planet guide assists you in identifying areas suitable for your desired journey, allowing for culture, nature experiences, and days without a packed itinerary.
The book highlights locations such as Goa Gajah, Pura Besakih, and Gunung Rinjani. This provides a foundation for exploring diverse aspects of the islands and selecting experiences based on your interests. Perhaps you wish to spend more time around Ubud, or perhaps Lombok and the Gili Islands beckon. Let these ideas help you prioritize certain areas thoroughly, ensuring your travel days also allow time to truly get to know the places you visit.
This area is covered by the guide. The guide covers Canggu and the southwest beaches, South Bali and surrounding islands, the Ubud region, East Bali, the central highlands, North Bali, and West Bali, as well as Lombok, the Gili Islands, and Nusa Tenggara. It is designed for those who wish to combine a trip across multiple areas or need assistance in choosing a suitable base. Regional chapters and suggested itineraries facilitate the transition from a wish list to a naturally coherent plan.
From travel ideas to a plan that suits you. The book combines inspiration with practical planning. You will find suggested itineraries, maps, and recommendations on topics such as food, accommodation, transport, and optimal travel times. Background information on culture, history, and local life provides further context for understanding the places you visit. Utilize the content to compare options before departure and to identify your next stop while en route.
A physical travel guide allows you to consolidate your ideas in one place. Flip between regions, place the map alongside your itinerary, and select experiences you wish to dedicate extra time to. You are not required to follow all suggestions: the book can equally serve as a starting point for a more relaxed trip, with fewer transfers and more time to experience each location. It is suitable for both solo planning and when multiple individuals need to agree on holiday content.
