Traveller's Notes:
  • Gili Nanggu is one of the islands in another group of gilis (small islands) off the coast of Lombok Island, other than the Gili Islands (Gili Trawangan, Meno, Air)
  • It is located about South West of Mataram and  can be reached in about one and half hours from Mataram, the Capital of West Nusa Tenggara.
  • Snorkeling gear rentals are available on the island and also on the beach where you rent your boat in Lombok Island.
  • Gili Nanggu is gaining more popularity nowadays and is getting more crowded.
  • Gili Nanggu is still a peaceful and laid back place to be compared to Gili Trawangan
  • There is some basic accommodations on the island if you need or want to stay on the island overnight.
  • I personally enjoy snorkeling off Gili Island since the corals are more beautiful and healthier compared to those in Gili Islands.

Some Facts about Kuta Beach:
  • Kuta was the site of October 12, 2002 first Bali Bombing (202 killed) and the October 1, 2005 Second Bali Bombing (26 killed).
  • Once a simple, rustic and quiet fishing village, Kuta Beach has witnessed a transformation over the past years due to the rise of various accommodations, dining and shopping options. The rapid growth owes much to visitors, beachcombers and art lovers from nearby Australia. Expatriates also helped pioneer surfing in Kuta, as well.




Travel Quote - March 19, 2014

"Traveling is much more than 
going to places 
for your own pleasure.
It is also about knowing 
that you are not 
the most knowledgeable person 
on the planet."
