Lombok<\/strong> itself means chilli, so what more than to pay homage to its name and give yourself a taste of the heaven? The island, situated in West Nusa Tenggara province, is one of the best kept secrets of Indonesia and many are hoping that this island doesn\u2019t lose its unique character - and turn into another tourist-flooded Bali<\/a>.<\/p>

The island\u2019s real beauty<\/a> lies in its rich diversity where the palm fringed beaches are strewn with white sand and the sea is filled with blue corals and marine life.<\/p>

If you are not a beach person, the land boasts of its own richness with Mount Rinjani standing as majestically as yet another volcano mountain.<\/p>

Since, the weather in Lombok is ideal all year round for travelling<\/a>, there's essentially no reason to skip this destination in Indonesia. Head to the gallery above for our top four things to do while\u00a0in Lombok.<\/p>
