<h2>Lombok</h2>
<p>Located to the east of Bali, Lombok Island has beautiful sandy beaches that remain underdeveloped when compared with Bali. The island's centre is dominated by Mount Rinjani, an active volcano that is a fabulous spot to photograph the sunrise or sunset.&nbsp;Life in Lombok is more restrained and modest compared with the generally more open and vibrant Bali. However, gay travellers can expect to be welcomed in the same way as straight tourists.</p>
<h2>Gili Islands</h2>
<p>Gili Islands are an archipelago of three small islands Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. These very small, beautiful tropical islands are located just off the west coast of Lombok and about 20 miles from the eastern tip of Bali.&nbsp;The islands have beautiful white sandy beaches and are surrounded by crystal clear water. The sea is teaming with marine life and makes Gili Islands a top destination for scuba divers and snorkelers.&nbsp;Gili Islands remain largely undiscovered by mass tourism. Walk, ride a horse, pedal a bike or swim everywhere as there are no buses, cars or motorbikes.</p>
