Central Lombok

Central Lombok spans 1,160 square kilometers across the middle section of Lombok Island, with Praya serving as its administrative center and primary urban hub.

The establishment of Central Lombok as an independent administrative region occurred on August 9, 1958, marking a significant change in local governance structure.

The Sasak people represent the main ethnic group in Central Lombok, maintaining their traditional practices, language, and customs throughout the twelve districts.

The region contains multiple accommodations near Mount Rinjani, offering direct access to trekking routes and transportation services to neighboring areas.

Kuta Beach in Central Lombok hosts the annual Nyale festival, where locals gather to catch sea worms according to traditional fishing methods.
