In the Indian Ocean between Bali and Lombok there are three small islands called The Gili Islands. From the east, there is the possibility to see the sunrise over Mount Rinjani (3726m), Lombok. From the beaches in the west, you can enjoy the sunset over Mount Agung (3142m), Bali. The three islands of Gili Air, Gili Meno, and Gili Trawangan are becoming one of the most popular destinations. The name "Gili Islands" is rather redundant as gili simply means "small island" in Sasak, but the name has stuck and is universally used and understood in Lombok. All the three islands feature superb, white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, spectacular coral reefs, brilliantly colored fishes and the best snorkeling and diving spots.There are no cars or motorcycles allowed on Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. Transportation is provided by small, quaint horse carts and bicycles.
